Ohio Tax Major Developments in Ohio Pass-Through Entity & - PDF document

27th Annual Tuesday & Wednesday, January 2324, 2018 Hya Regency Columbus, Columbus, Ohio Workshop DD Ohio Tax Major Developments in Ohio Pass-Through Entity & Personal Income Taxation Wednesday, January 24, 2018 11:00 a.m. to


  1. Legislative Developments post- 12 Cunningham  HB 292, passed Ohio House, pending in Senate  Taxpayer must now swear that the following are true for the entire tax year:  Taxpayer had an abode outside Ohio for which s/he did NOT claim depreciation deduction under Section 167  No valid Ohio driver’s license or ID card  No Ohio real estate tax reduction under homestead provision  Any tuition charged is not based on Ohio abode

  2. Cunningham v. Testa , 2015-Ohio-2744 13  Case deals with the Department’s ability to challenge a taxpayer’s affidavit as false  Supreme Court Holds:  “[w]hile R.C. 5747.24 has set forth certain presumptions and burdens with respect to domicile, it has not altered the basic concept of what constitutes a domicile.”  Taxpayer’s statement verifying non-Ohio domicile can be false if it is not supported by common law of domicile.  For more information see the Department’s Information Release IT 2015-02

  3. 14 Federal Income Tax Changes AND THEIR IMPACT ON OHIO’S INCOME TAX

  4. Federal Partnership Audit Changes 15  Under TEFRA  Federal audits are initiated at the partnership level  Adjustments are made and investors are identified  Changes “pass through” to those investors, who then need to amend their prior year return  ODT would pick up adjustments made to individual investors and contact them to file amended returns

  5. Federal Partnership Audit Changes 16  Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015  Major reform to the audit of PTEs at the federal level  IRS may now assess and collect from partnerships at entity level for 1065 and K-1 issues  TEFRA procedures are repealed  ODT is working to identify the impact to Ohio and address any accompanying issues

  6. Federal Income Tax Reform 17  Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017  Makes major changes to federal corporate and income taxes  Many have no impact on Ohio’s income tax  Itemized Deductions  Tax Rates  Alternative Minimum Tax  Again, ODT is working to identify the impact to Ohio and address any accompanying issues

  7. 18 Audit & Appeals Issues

  8. Taxation of Stock Options 19  What is a stock option?  Allows recipient to buy stock at a set price regardless of the actual value of the stock on the purchase date  Generally, there is a period of time between when the options are granted and when the recipient can “exercise” them  Why do companies grant stock options?  Create incentive for workers to cause the company’s stock price to rise

  9. 20 Taxation of Stock Options – Facts  Workman, an Ohio resident, worked for an Ohio-based company  Company grants Workman stock options  In the following years, Workman performs services for the company both inside and outside Ohio  Workman retires from the company and moves to another state  Workman, now a nonresident of Ohio, exercises the stock options

  10. 21 Taxation of Stock Options – Law  R.C. 5747.02 levies the income tax in all individuals earning or receiving income in Ohio  R.C. 5747.20(B)(1) allocates, to Ohio, compensation paid to a nonresident individual for personal services performed in Ohio  Hillenmeyer v. Cleveland Bd. Of Rev., 2015- Ohio-1623  Days Worked “comports with due process and ensures that the tax collected is not disproportionate to the income received for work” performed

  11. 22 Taxation of Stock Options – Application  Stock options are compensation for performing personal services  Ohio law specifically allocates to Ohio all items of compensation paid to a nonresident for services performed in Ohio  The “days worked” method is an acceptable method to allocate compensation among states

  12. 23 Taxation of Stock Options – Calculation  Stock option income is allocated using the days-worked method  Taxpayers are presumed to have 260 total days worked for each tax year  The allocation is represented by a ratio  Total days worked in Ohio for the issuing company versus  Total days worked everywhere for the issuing company  Ratio calculation might span multiple years

  13. Ohio Residents Working Abroad – Facts 24  Taxpayer takes a work assignment in another country  The duration could span/ include multiple tax years  Taxpayer remains a citizen of the US  Obtains a temporary “work visa” to work in foreign country  Maintains an Ohio abode on which s/he claims the owner- occupancy property tax reduction, a driver’s license, vehicle registration, etc.

  14. Ohio Residents Working Abroad – Law 25  Generally an individual is presumed to be a resident of Ohio (R.C. 5747.24(C))  Onus is on individual to rebut the presumption of domicile  Ohio domicile must be abandoned to establish a new domicile  To abandon an Ohio domicile, individual must establish actual residence in a new location with a clear intent to establish a new principal and permanent residence  An individual can have only one domicile at any given time  Most individuals retain their domicile throughout the taxable year, even if they spend all or a portion of the year away from that domicile

  15. Ohio Residents Working Abroad – 26 Application  Physical presence is not, in and of itself, a determinative factor for the purposes of domicile  Foreign presence and employment is not sufficient to abandon an Ohio domicile  Individual still receives benefits from Ohio that are exclusively available to its domiciliaries , such as:  An Ohio driver’s license;  Ohio vehicle registration;  Voting privileges;  Property tax reduction; and  In-state tuition

  16. Ohio Residents Working Abroad – 27 Application  What about the opposite situation?  Individual is a resident of a foreign country, but comes to work in Ohio for some period of time  Can this person be an Ohio resident? Is s/he subject to Ohio tax?  Remember, Ohio’s income tax is levied on income “earned or received” in Ohio  Ohio can tax the foreign individual’s income that was earned in Ohio  However, the individual is probably not an Ohio “ resident”  Individual cannot “permanently reside” in Ohio based on temporary nature of work visa

  17. 28 The Business Income Deduction TREATMENT OF INCOME AS BUSINESS INCOME R.C. 5747.01(A)(31) & 5747.01(B)

  18. Guaranteed Payments 29  Issue: Is a guaranteed payment to a 1% partner of a partnership “business income” under Ohio law  If business income, then eligible for the business income deduction and 3% flat tax  ODT’s position: The 20% test must be met for guaranteed payments to qualify for the BID  Some practitioners have asserted that the guaranteed payment is business income in the first instance, so the 20% test is not needed.

  19. Guaranteed Payments 30  If the guaranteed payment is “business income” then the practitioners should be correct  If the guaranteed payment is not business income, then ODT should be correct that the 20% threshold must be met  Is this merely a “presentation” issue ?

  20. Sale of an Interest In an Entity 31  Is the sale of an interest of an entity business or nonbusiness income?  Relevant for business income deduction and 3% flat tax  Corrigan v. Testa , 2016-Ohio-2805  An ownership interest in an entity is an intangible asset  The income from the sale of an ownership interest in an entity is a capital gain  Capital gains from intangible assets are generally nonbusiness income  Nonbusiness income is allocable to the taxpayer’s state of domicile

  21. Sale of an Interest In an Entity 32  But remember R.C. 5747.01(B):  Business income “includes income… from real property, tangible property, and intangible property if the acquisition, rental, management, and disposition of the property constitute integral parts of the regular course of a trade or business operation .”  What about §338(h)(10) elections?

  22. PTE Tax- Indirect Investor Refund 33  C Corporation is an indirect investor in an operating PTE  C Corp owns a PTE that owns the operating PTE  Operating PTE is required to file with Ohio  Withholds at 8.5% for its PTE investor (R.C. 5733.41)  PTE would not be required to withhold for the C Corp if a direct investor  Withholding rate for direct corporate owners of PTEs was phased down to 0%

  23. PTE Tax- Indirect Investor Refund 34 Co rpo ra tio n C Jo hn 99% 1% PT E 2 (I nte rme dia te ) Ma ry 30% 70% PT E 1 (Ope ra ting )

  24. PTE Tax- Indirect Investor Refund 35  How does indirect C Corporation get a refund of the errant withholding?  Operating PTE should file an amended return, within the applicable statute of limitation, to request a refund  PTE should include statement that it has an indirect exempt investor in its ownership chain  PTE should include an organization chart and Ohio K-1s to show the flow of ownership from the Operating PTE to the exempt investor

  25. PTE Tax- Indirect Investor Filing 36  How does indirect C Corporation avoid the errant withholding?  And thus not need to request a refund  Operating PTE should utilize either R.C. 5733.402 or 5747.401  R.C. 5747.401 allows the Operating PTE to withhold on behalf of its “deemed investors” at their applicable rate if the intermediate PTE is an “investment pass-through entity”  R.C. 5733.402 allows the Operating PTE to not withhold if the intermediate PTE agrees to file and withhold, as appropriate, on behalf of its investors  Provision does not apply where intermediate entity is an “investment pass-through entity”

  26. 37 Ohio IT K-1 USES IN PRACTICE & FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  27. 38  Many taxpayers and practitioners had suggested a form that allowed for t he tracking of PTE payments and credits:  From entity to entity(/ies)  From entity to individual(s)

  28. Ohio IT K-1 39  The new Ohio IT K-1 should be used in place of any self- generated “Ohio K-1 equivalents”  K-1 should be prepared by PTE and provided to investor  Investor would submit a copy of the IT K-1 with their IT 4708, IT 1041, or IT 1040  Entities that are not required to file can still generate the Ohio IT K-1 and provide it to their investors  Provides for more simplified tracking of information between multi-tiered PTE structures

  29. 40 Useful in situations where you have a PTE paying tax, but an intermediate PTE that does not have a filing requirement IT 1040 Jo hn Co rpo ra tio n C 1% 99% Ma ry No Filing: IT K-1 PT E 2 30% 70% PT E 1 IT 4708 (Ope ra ting )

  30. Ohio IT K-1 41  Question 1: Who is required to fill out the IT K-1?  Answer: No one. Presently, the form is not required.  However, the IT K-1 is the only form endorsed by the ODT, and thus is the only form that we will certify has all information needed to process our filings  Question 2: Do I have to prepare an IT K-1 for resident investors?  Answer: Since the IT K-1 is not mandatory for anyone, the answer is “no.”  However, the IT K-1 is useful to a resident investor in a PTE

  31. Ohio IT K-1 42  Question 3: Do I have to send in copies of the IT K-1s with my entity filing?  Answer: No. The IT K-1 is for the investor’s benefit. The form should be provided to the PTE’s investor(s), who should include the IT K-1 with their filing. However, you may include them with your filing for convenience.  Question 4: Can I use the IT K-1 for any tax year?  Answer: Yes. The IT K-1 is not meant to be year specific. It can be used for any tax year, past, present, or future.

  32. Ohio IT K-1 43  Question 5: Does “Pass-Through Entity Type” refer to the investor or the filing entity?  Answer: “Pass-through entity type” refers to the filing entity. This has been clarified in a newer version of the form.  Question 6: Should “Ohio Taxable Income” match federal, entity income?  Answer: No. This line should only include the total amount of the investor ’s income apportionable to Ohio.

  33. 44 Tax Amnesty JANUARY 1 THROUGH FEBRUARY 15, 2018

  34. What Is Amnesty & How Does It Work 45  Amnesty is a limited time opportunity that allows taxpayers to come forward and pay certain delinquent tax obligations  Eligible Taxes are those due and payable as of May 1, 2017 for the following:  Individual Income and School District Income Tax  Employer Withholding and School District Withholding Tax  Pass-Through Entity Tax  ODT is authorized to forgive 100% of the penalty, and 1/2 of the interest

  35. What Is Required To Apply for Amnesty 46  Taxpayer must complete and sign the appropriate amnesty application  Taxpayer will need to submit return(s)/worksheet  Taxpayer will need to submit payment in full with applicable interest Note: If you are a business and have never registered with the Department you will need to submit a registration form as well.

  36. Amnesty Application Process 47 Application, payment, and return(s) must be sent to the following address: Ohio Department of Taxation Tax Amnesty Program P.O. Box 183050 Columbus, Ohio 43218-3050

  38. 49 Ohio Municipal Income Tax Update RI T A RE GUL AT I ON SE CT I ON 6: RE SI DE NT CRE DI T COMPUT AT I ONS – PT ET AX

  39. RITA Regulation Section 6: Resident Credit Computations – PTE Tax 50

  40. RITA Regulation Section 6: Resident Credit Computations – PTE Tax In the following examples the residence municipality (“City R”) . . . . . . imposes a 2% income tax and . . . allows a full, nonrefundable credit (up to 2% tax rate) for municipal income taxes paid to, and/or withheld for, other municipalities. Furthermore, the T/P’s losses are not subject to (i) basis limitations, (ii) at-risk limitations, and (iii) PAL limitations. IMPORTANT: If the residence city does not tax S corp. owners on their share of income from S corps., then the PTE is not an S corp.

  41. Example #1 FACTS Resident’s distributive share of income from PTE #1 doing business only in City A: $10,000. Resident’s share of income tax which that PTE paid to City A: $200. Resident has no other income. 52

  42. Example #1 (continued) RESULTS Resident’s municipal taxable income (“MTI”) is $10,000. Resident’s municipal income tax before credits is $200: $10,000 MTI X .02 tax rate. Resident’s municipal income tax after credits is -0- : $200 resident city tax before credits - $200 credit with respect to City A. 53

  43. Example #2 FACTS Resident’s distributive share of income from PTE #2 doing business only in a township: $10,000. Resident’s share of income tax which that PTE paid to that township: -0-. Resident has no other income. 54

  44. Example #2 (continued) RESULTS Resident’s municipal taxable income (“MTI”): $10,000. Resident’s municipal income tax before credits: $200. Resident’s municipal income tax after credits: $200; there is no credit. 55

  45. Example #3 FACTS Resident’s distributive share of income from PTE #1 doing business only in City A: $10,000. Resident’s share of income tax which PTE #1 paid to City A: $200. Resident’s distributive share of income from PTE #2 doing business only in a township: $10,000. Resident has no other income. 56

  46. Example #3 (continued) RESULTS Resident’s municipal taxable income (“MTI”) is $20,000: $10,000 from PTE #1 + $10,000 from PTE #2. Resident’s municipal income tax before credits is $400: $20,000 MTI X .02 tax rate. Resident’s municipal income tax after credits is $200: $400 tax before credits – $200 credit with respect to City A. 57

  47. Example #4 FACTS Resident’s distributive share of income from PTE #1 doing business only in City A: $10,000. Resident’s share of income tax which PTE #1 paid to City A: $200. Resident’s distributive share of income from PTE #2 doing business only in a township: $20,000. 58

  48. Example #4 FACTS (continued) Resident’s distributive share of income from PTE #3 doing business only in City B which imposes income tax: -$10,000. Resident has no other income. 59

  49. Example #4 (continued) RESULTS Resident’s municipal taxable income (“MTI”) is $20,000: $10,000 from PTE #1 + $20,000 from PTE #2 - $10,000 from PTE #3. Resident’s municipal income tax before credits is $400: $20,000 MTI X .02 tax rate. Resident’s municipal income tax after credits: $400 or $200 or some other amount? 60

  50. Example #4 (continued) ISSUE Should the -$10,000 loss from PTE #3 first apply to the $10,000 income from PTE #1 (which generated for the resident a tentative nonrefundable credit of $200) so that . . . . . . the $20,000 of income from PTE #2 (only in a township) is the only “net” MTI taxed by the resident city, and . . . thus, there is no City A credit available to the resident taxpayer? 61

  51. Example #4 (continued) ISSUE (continued) Alternatively, should the -$10,000 loss from PTE #3 first apply to the $20,000 income from PTE #2 (the “township PTE”) so that . . . . . . only $10,000 of PTE #2 income is taxed by the city, and the entire, $10,000 portion of the PTE #1 is taxed by the resident city, and . . . thus, the entire $200 City A credit from PTE #1 is available to the resident taxpayer? 62

  52. Example #4 (continued) ANSWER RITA regulation section 6 sets forth an equitable answer to this issue: Apportion the -$10,000 loss from PTE #3 against the (i) $10,000 income from PTE #1 and (ii) the $20,000 income from PTE #2. So, apportioned to PTE #1 will be -$3,333.33 of PTE #3’s -$10,000 loss: -$10,000 PTE #3’s loss X [$10K PTE #1/($10K + $20K)] PTE #1 PTE #2

  53. Example #4 (continued) ANSWER (continued) Thus, the City A credit from PTE #1 will be $133.33: [$10K PTE #1 income - $3,333.33 of PTE 3’s loss apportioned to PTE #1] X .02 City A tax rate. So, the resident city tax after credits will be $266.67: $400 tax before credits - $133.33 allowed credit from City A. (Recall that the resident’s share of income tax which PTE #1 paid to City A is $200.)

  54. RITA Regulation Section 6: Resident Credit Computations – PTE Tax NOTE: Section 6 applies only if . . . . . . the residence municipality provides, in whole or in part, a credit for municipal income tax paid to, and/or withheld for, at least one municipality and . . . The taxpayer’s residence municipal taxable income includes either . . . . . . an entity net loss from at least one taxing jurisdiction OR . . . an overall net loss from a nontaxing jurisdiction (note: all nontaxing jurisdictions are treated as one, single nontaxing jurisdiction). 65

  55. RITA Regulation Section 6 General Procedure 1. For each jurisdiction determine the net profit or loss for all business activity within that jurisdiction. Note: all “nontaxing” jurisdictions are treated as a single jurisdiction. 2. If the “net” number for any jurisdiction is -0- or negative, no credit is available with respect to that jurisdiction. 66

  56. RITA Regulation Section 6 General Procedure (continued) 3. Add together the “net” number for each jurisdiction having, per step #1, above, a “net” positive number. The total will be used in the computation in step #4, below. 4. To determine the tentative credit attributable to a jurisdiction having a “net” positive number (see step #1, above), divide the taxpayer’s net positive number for that jurisdiction by the amount determined in step #3, above. The resulting quotient will be used in step # 5, below.

  57. RITA Regulation Section 6 General Procedure (continued) 5. Multiply the taxpayer’s municipal taxable income -- other than qualifying wages -- by the number obtained in step #4, above. The resulting product will be used in step #6 below. 6. Multiply that jurisdiction’s tax rate by the product obtained in step #5, above. The resulting product is the tentative credit attributable to that jurisdiction. 68

  58. RITA Regulation Section 6 General Procedure and Example #4 1. For each jurisdiction determine the net profit or loss for all business activity within that jurisdiction. Note: all “nontaxing” jurisdictions are treated as a single jurisdiction. $10K profit for City “A;” $20K profit for the township. 2. If the “net” number for any jurisdiction is -0- or negative, no credit is available with respect to that jurisdiction. -$10K loss for City B. 69

  59. RITA Regulation Section 6 General Procedure and Example #4 (continued) 3. Add together the “net” number for each jurisdiction having, per step #1, above, a “net” positive number. The total will be used in the computation in step #4, below. $10K + 20K = $30K. 4. To determine the tentative credit attributable to a jurisdiction having a “net” positive number (see step #1, above), divide the taxpayer’s net positive number for that jurisdiction by the amount determined in step #3, above. The resulting quotient will be used in step # 5, below. Quotient for City A: $10K City A profit/$30K from step #3 = 1/3.

  60. RITA Regulation Section 6 General Procedure and Example #4 (continued) 5. Multiply the taxpayer’s municipal taxable income -- other than qualifying wages (“Q. W.”) -- by the number obtained in step #4, above. The resulting product will be used in step #6, below. [$20K MTI – 0 Q. W.] X 1/3 from step #4 = $6,666.66 6. Multiply that jurisdiction’s tax rate by the product obtained in step #5, above. The resulting product is the tentative credit attributable to that jurisdiction. .02 City A tax rate X $6,666.66 = $133.33 credit from City A.

  61. RITA Regulation Section 6 General Procedure and Example #4 (continued) Example #4’s MTI : $20K Times: Resident city tax rate: X .02 Tax before credits: $400.00 Less: Nonrefundable credit per step #6 - 133.33* Tax due to resident city $266.67 ====== * Not $200. 72

  62. RITA Regulation Section 6: Resident Credit Computations – PTE Tax NOTE: Section 6 applies only if . . . . . . the residence municipality provides, in whole or in part, a credit for municipal income tax paid to, and/or withheld for, at least one municipality and . . . The taxpayer’s residence municipal taxable income includes either . . . . . . an entity net loss from at least one taxing jurisdiction OR . . . an overall net loss from a nontaxing jurisdiction (note: all nontaxing jurisdictions are treated as one, single nontaxing jurisdiction). 73

  63. Example 5 FACTS T/P share of profit from partnership #1 doing business solely in City A: $10,000. T/P share of City A tax (@ 2%) on that profit: $200. T/P share of loss from partnership #2 doing business solely in City A: -$25,000. T/P Sch. C or F or E (page 1) profit in City A: $12,000. T/P tax timely paid to City A: $240. T/P Sch. C or F or E (either page) from a nontaxing jurisdiction: $206,000 . Residence credit with respect to City A will be -0- (because the T/P’s “net” profit with respect to City A is -0-) . 74

  64. Example 5 (continued) MTI: $10K - $25K + $12K + $206K $203K TIMES: Residence city tax rate X .02 Residence city tax before credits $4,060 Less: City A tax credit (not $200 + $240) __-0-_ Net tax due to resident city $4,060 ===== 1. For each jurisdiction determine the net profit or loss for all business activity within that jurisdiction. Note: all “nontaxing” jurisdictions are treated as a single jurisdiction. City A: -$3K; Nontaxing jurisdiction: $206K. 2. If the “net” number for any jurisdiction is -0- or negative, no credit is available with respect to that jurisdiction. For City A the “net” number is a negative $3K; so, no credit.

  65. Example 5A FACTS T/P share of profit from partnership #1 doing business solely in City R (rather than in City A): $10,000. T/P share of City R tax (@ 2%) on that profit: $200. T/P share of loss from partnership #2 doing business solely in City R (rather than in City A): -$25,000. T/P Sch. C or F or E (page 1) profit in R (rather than in City A): $12,000. T/P Sch. C or F or E (either page) from a nontaxing jurisdiction: $206,000 . Residence credit with respect to City A will be -0- (because the T/P’s “net” profit with respect to City A is -0-) . 76

  66. Example 5A (continued) MTI: $10K - $25K + $12K + $206K $203K TIMES: Residence city tax rate X .02 Residence city tax before credits $4,060 Less: City R tax credit (not $200) __-0-_ Net tax due to resident city $4,060 ===== 1. For each jurisdiction determine the net profit or loss for all business activity within that jurisdiction. Note: all “nontaxing” jurisdictions are treated as a single jurisdiction. City R: -$3K; Nontaxing jurisdiction: $206K. 2. If the “net” number for any jurisdiction is -0- or negative, no credit is available with respect to that jurisdiction. For City R the “net” number is a negative $3K; so, no credit.

  67. Example 6 FACTS T/P share of profit from partnership #1 doing business solely in City A: $10,000. T/P share of City A tax (@ 2%) on that profit: $200. T/P share of loss from partnership #2 doing business solely in City A: -$25,000. T/P Sch. C or F or E (page 1) profit in City A: $100,000. T/P tax timely paid to City A: $2,000. T/P Sch. C or F or E (either page) from a nontaxing jurisdiction: $200,000 . Residence credit with respect to City A will be -0- (because the T/P’s “net” profit with respect to City A is -0-) . 78

  68. Example 6 (continued) MTI: $10K - $25K + $100K + $200K $285K TIMES: Residence city tax rate X .02 Residence city tax before credits $5,700 Less: City A tax credit (not $200 + $2,000) - 1,700 Net tax due to resident city $4,000 ===== 1. For each jurisdiction determine the net profit or loss for all business activity within that jurisdiction. Note: all “nontaxing” jurisdictions are treated as a single jurisdiction. City A: $85K; Nontaxing jurisdiction: $200K. 2. If the “net” number for any jurisdiction is -0- or negative, no credit is available with respect to that jurisdiction. N/A

  69. RITA Regulation Section 6 General Procedure and Example #6 (continued) 3. Add together the “net” number for each jurisdiction having, per step #1, above, a “net” positive number. The total will be used in the computation in step #4, below. $85K + 200K = $285K . 4. To determine the tentative credit attributable to a jurisdiction having a “net” positive number (see step #1, above), divide the taxpayer’s net positive number for that jurisdiction by the amount determined in step #3, above. The resulting quotient will be used in step # 5, below. Quotient for City A: $85K City A profit/$285 K from step #3 = .2982456.

  70. RITA Regulation Section 6 General Procedure and Example #6 (continued) 5. Multiply the taxpayer’s municipal taxable income -- other than qualifying wages (“Q. W.”) -- by the number obtained in step #4, above. The resulting product will be used in step #6, below. [$285K MTI – 0 Q. W.] X . 2982456 from step #4 = $85,000. 6. Multiply that jurisdiction’s tax rate by the product obtained in step #5, above. The resulting product is the tentative credit attributable to that jurisdiction. .02 City A tax rate X $85,000 = $1,700 credit from City A.

  71. Example 6 (continued) MTI: $10K - $25K + $100K + $200K $285K TIMES: Residence city tax rate X .02 Residence city tax before credits $5,700 Less: City A tax credit from step #6 - 1,700* Net tax due to resident city $4,000 ===== * Not the sum of $200 + $2,000. 82

  72. Example 7 FACTS T/P share of profit from partnership #1 doing business solely in City A: $10,000. T/P share of City A tax (@ 2%) on that profit: $200. T/P share of loss from partnership #2 doing business solely in City A: -$250,000. T/P Sch. C or F or E (page 1) profit in City B: $100,000. T/P tax timely paid to City B (@ 1%): $1,000. T/P Sch.
