Federal Features
Federal Multiple State Apportionment
Form CT-3A: The business allocation percentage is based on information entered at the separate company level. (For separate companies that do not allocate, the in-state and out-of-state amounts must be entered at the separate company level. There are no federal defaults.)
Form CT-3M/4M: Information for MTA Surcharge Returns does not carry from the separate company returns. Allocation information must be entered at the combined level using the Federal apportionment and Allocation worksheet. For aviation corporations and trucking and railroad corporations, the information must be entered on the Allocation Percentage worksheet.
Request for Extension
The following extensions may be requested by using the State Extension section of the Extensions worksheet.:
- Form CT-5.3, Application for Six-Month Extension
- Form CT-5.1, Application for Additional Extension of Time
Enter the state code "NY" on the State Section of the Extension worksheet to produce Form CT-5.3 from information computed on Forms CT-3-A/CT-32-A and the MTA Surcharge Return.
To produce Form CT-5.1, enter a "3" in State Use Code field.
FS Codes
In general, we ignore the use of FS codes to prepare the New York Combined Franchise return except in the following situation:
Net Operating Loss Deduction
Enter New York net operating loss carryovers (NOL) for both the regular tax and the alternative minimum tax (ANOL) at the separate company level using the NOL Carryover worksheet. the NOL Carryover worksheet must be, coded "S" and "NY" in the FS and state code fields, respectively. If these codes are not entered, NOL/ANOL information will not be carried to the New York combined return.
We will aggregate all NOL/ANOLs at the combined level and apply any SRLY limitations if applicable. We will produce a detailed statement showing the computed adjustment before any limitation to the federal NOL. In addition, a statement of adjustments to separate company NOLs for future years will also be prepared if required.
The computed NOL will be allocated to investment income if applicable.
Overrides are available on the Alternative Minimum Tax section of the Taxes worksheet for the alternative NOL and the Deductions for Entire Net Income section of the Income/Deductions worksheet for the regular NOL. If overrides are used, the computed supporting statements are suppressed.
