Amounts entered for interest from U.S. obligations and/or U.S. obligation interest from mutual funds, overrides detailed U.S. interest entered on the “Interest Income", "Dividend Income" and "Other Interest and Dividends" section of the federal "Interest", "Dividends" and "Passthrough Items" worksheets.
See the federal "Deductions" worksheet and related sections' help screens for options when allocating expenses to U.S. interest.
State and local income taxes are not automatically allocated to U.S. obligations. Select either a "5" or "6" in the "Income Type" column to specifically allocate an amount to U.S. obligations.
If an "X" is entered in the "X if indirect" column for real estate property tax or other taxes, these taxes will be added to total indirect expenses and allocated on a pro-rata basis among all types of income, including U.S. interest.
There are several ways to allocate expenses to U.S. interest and U.S. interest reported as dividends (hereafter referred to as U.S. interest).
Before application of the expense allocation methods, U.S. interest is reduced by expenses specifically allocated to gross U.S. interest (Federal "Deductions" worksheet, income type codes "5" and "6").
1. Default - Equates Federal Return. Expenses are allocated to U.S. interest as follows:
a. Gross U.S. interest is reduced by its charitable portion computed from entries on the "Amounts Paid or Permanently Set Aside for Charitable Purposes (Form 1041)" section of the federal "Charitable Contributions" worksheet.
b. Direct and indirect expenses NOT coded to a specific income type are allocated based upon a ratio of U.S. interest divided by total ordinary income (including U.S. interest). This method allows for consistency between expenses attributable to U.S. interest for Indiana purposes and expenses offsetting U.S. interest on the federal return. Total expenses attributable to U.S. interest will be treated as an addition on the Indiana return.
The exception to the above is the necessary Indiana exclusion of state and local taxes applied to U.S. interest on the federal return.
If the "Use alternate expense allocation method" field on the "Deduction Options and Overrides" section is checked, expenses are allocated (equating the federal return) to classes of income in a specific order.
See the federal "Deduction Options and Overrides" section of the "Deductions" worksheet instructions for the order in which expenses are applied to the various classes of income.
2. Indiana Expense Reallocation: Direct expenses will be ignored for Indiana purposes. Net U.S. interest allowable as a subtraction for Indiana may differ from that computed for federal purposes, due to the exclusion of state and local taxes and direct expense allocation used in the federal computation. See the federal instruction guide for further assistance regarding deduction allocation methods.
3. Suppress Expenses Allocated to U.S. Interest: If expenses are NOT to be allocated to gross U.S. interest, enter a "2" (Indiana) or "3" (both Indiana and federal) on the federal "Deduction Options and Overrides" section of the "Deductions" worksheet. Gross U.S. interest will be treated as a subtraction on the Indiana return.
An entry on the "Subtractions" section of the "Indiana Information" worksheet, in the "Interest on U.S. obligations..." field overrides the computed U.S. interest amount.
An entry on the "Subtractions" section of the "Indiana Information" worksheet, in the "Federal Deductions allocable to Tax-Exempt Income" field overrides the computed expenses allocable to U.S. interest.
The information entered here is used to compute the charitable portion of U.S. interest and interest from municipal obligations.
To base the charitable allocation on net rather than gross income, enter an "X" in the "X to base charity allocation from current year income on net income" field. U.S. interest will be reduced by the portion allocable to charity. The charitable portion will be based on U.S. interest net of expenses.
Gross U.S. interest entered here and on the "Other Interest and Dividends" section of the Passthrough Items" worksheet (interest code "1"), less the charitable portion and direct and indirect expenses, is allocated between fiduciary and beneficiaries according to the distribution percentages computed from entries on the federal "General" section of the "Beneficiary Information" worksheet. Gross U.S. interest is printed as a subtraction on the Indiana return and allocable expenses are printed as an addition. To override gross U.S interest, use the "Overrides and Adjustments (Form 1041)" section of the federal "Overrides and Adjustments (Form 1041)" worksheet. A supporting statement is prepared showing the portion of specific and non-specific expenses and charitable deduction allocated to U.S. interest.
Several methods are available for allocating expenses to gross U.S. interest. Refer to the "help screens of the "Deductions" and "Deduction Options and Override" sections of the federal "Form 1041 Overrides and Adjustment" worksheet for more information on expense allocation methods.
If the entity has income derived from outside of Indiana, enter a state code other than "IN" in the "Home State Code" field on the applicable federal sections and worksheets.
The segregation of Indiana and non-Indiana income is necessary for printing each nonresident beneficiary's portion of Indiana income on the Schedule K-1.
