How can I clear EF message 0027 in a S corp return about the Pennsylvania RCT-101 apportionment percentage?
This message is generated anytime the PA RCT-101 page 2, Section B, line 7 is shown as 1.000 (100%).
EF Message 0027 reads:
PARCT101 page 2 Apportionment Verification
Drake Software has defaulted 100% apportionment to line 7.
If this is correct, go to PA screen B and check the "Yes" checkbox.
If this is incorrect, then a RCT-106 is required for e-file. Enter "0" in the numerator and "1" in the denominator.
If a 100% apportionment calculation is correct:
Return to data entry > States tab > Pennsylvania tab > RCT-101 tab > B Page 2 Sec B CNI Tax screen. Select Yes in the Apportionment Verification section.
If there should NOT be 100% apportionment:
Determine whether the company is required to file an RCT-106. This form can be located and completed in data entry on the States tab > Pennsylvania > RCT-101 tab > 106 RCT-106 screen.
For more information on Pennsylvania apportionment percentages, see PA Rev-1200- CT-1 PA Corporation Tax booklet.
