🔍 What This Guide Covers
This guide explains how to enter non-resident state information for an e-filed return in Sure-Fire (up to 5 non-resident states).
⚠️ Before You Begin
You will need to be working inside the return’s Main information screen.
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Enter up to 5 non-resident states
You are only able to enter up to 5 non-resident states if you are wanting to E-file the return.
Step 2: Use the RES/NR worksheet(s)
When you designate a non-resident state on the Main information page, the RES/NR worksheet loads into the return.
Information calculates to this worksheet automatically:
- The RES/NR worksheet handles the first two non-resident states.
- If more than two non-resident states are needed, an Additonal RES/NR worksheet loads to handle up to three more non-resident states.
Step 3: Review and adjust between resident and non-resident amounts
After completing the federal return, review the worksheet and make any adjustments needed between the resident and non-resident states or between taxpayer and spouse. Sure-Fire calculates the adjusted amounts to the state forms.
❌ Common Errors / Troubleshooting
❌ Common Errors
You need more than 5 non-resident states. If you need to list any additional non-resident states (more than 5), you will need to paper file the return.
To list the non-resident states:
- On the main information page, list the 5 non-resident states.
- Print the form out (the main information page.)
- Go back into the return: take out the 5 non-resident states previously listed, add in the additional states needed, print out the form or return (whatever you need to file.)
