NC - Election to be a Taxed Pass-Through Entity (PTET)

For 2022, North Carolina law allows certain pass-through entities to make an election to pay NC income tax at the entity level. If the S-corporation or partnership makes this election, they are then called a "Taxed PTE." This is similar to the Pass-through Entity Tax (PTET) that other states have enacted, but NC does not have a special PTE form at this time. To make this election in Drake22, data entry is as follows:
