If the taxpayer is a resident of city A and the spouse is a resident of city B and both taxpayer and spouse work in their resident cities, the following is the data entry required to file both resident Local Earned Income Tax returns:

Screen PAEITInc will be produced for both City A and City B. Two units of Screen PAEIT are required to be setup by entering the city code associated to City A and City B in the Taxing authority city code field. Both the taxpayer and spouse incomes will show up on both returns.

To get the returns to print correctly, on Screen PAEIT for City A, mark the Create separate returns when joint field and mark the Do not print Local EIT return field for the spouse. This allows only the taxpayer city A return to print. On Screen PAEIT for City B, mark the Create separate returns when joint field and mark the Do not print Local EIT return field for the taxpayer. This allows only the spouse city B return to print. When these two fields are marked on each unit, the Filing Status Optimization utility is not required.
