Enter X to enter the original data (as of the last time the return was printed) in the amount fields. Mark this field prior to printing the amended federal return, if it is also being prepared. Alternatively, the original amounts may be entered directly in this screen.

In the statement dialog, enter an explanation for each change being reported on the amended return.

Per California Franchise Tax Board, taxpayers may not adjust the voluntary contributions via an amended return. When preparing an amended Form 540/540NR, UltraTax CS uses this amount on the premise that it reflects the amount on the return as previously filed.

UltraTax CS does not calculate interest and penalties due on the amended return. Use these fields to enter amounts for late interest and late-filing penalties. Exclude underpayment of estimated tax penalties from Form 5805 or 5805F. To include the amounts entered in the balance due or refund shown on Schedule X, mark the field Include penalties and interest in balance due or refund on Schedule X.

Mark this field to include the amounts entered in the Late filing penalties and Late filing interest fields in the calculation of balance due or refund on Schedule X.

This field is used only for Schedule X.

California requires taxpayers to make all future payments to the FTB via electronic means under certain conditions. If any of those conditions were met with the originally filed return, the FTB will continue to treat the taxpayer as subject to the e-pay mandate, even if the corrected return shows that the taxpayer never should have been subject to the mandate. If taxpayer was subject to the mandate with the originally filed return, UltraTax CS marks this field upon marking the Transfer original information field. UltraTax CS uses this field for filing instructions and diagnostic messages. Use the force field on Screen CALetter to change the taxpayer’s status for e-pay mandate.

When the Transfer original information box in Screen CAAmd is marked, UltraTax CS defaults to automatically populating this field with California AGI from the most recently printed (or previewed) current-year return. The amount in this field proformas to next year’s Screen CAELF for use by next-year’s electronic record when using the PIN signature. Under certain circumstances, the California Franchise Tax Board cross checks California AGI from the prior year return as originally filed when processing the electronically filed return. If you have amended this return more than once, you may change the amount in this field to California AGI from the originally filed current year return for proforma to next year. If you have already proforma’d this client to next year, you may change the amount in next-year’s Screen CAELF, if necessary. If this field is blank, the California AGI reported on Form 540 or Form 540NR proformas to next year’s Screen CAELF.

UltraTax CS will not recalculate estimates based on any changes to the return when this box is marked. The vouchers and the estimated tax filing instructions will not print. UltraTax CS proformas the estimated tax amounts from Screen CAAmd, 1st payment through 4th payment and overpayment applied amount, in the Originally calculated column.

Enter the overpayment applied to 2019 estimated tax amount originally calculated.

Enter the estimated payment voucher amounts and due dates as originally calculated. (UltraTax CS automatically completes these fields when you mark the Transfer original information field on Screen CAAmd.)

When the Do not recalculate estimated tax payments field is blank, UltraTax CS defaults to printing estimated tax payment instructions using the current amounts calculated in the return. To include supplemental information in the Estimates Filing Instructions to show changes between estimates as originally calculated and estimates using current amounts, include Originally calculated amount, date, and direct debit indicator along with bank information (if applicable) from the original return.
