Use this procedure to determine the partners' distributive share amounts using the proration method. The proration method is the default method UltraTax CS uses to distribute amounts to partners.
- Choose View > Partner Information.
- Click the Changes of Ownership button (or press CTRL+W).
- Click the Add Date
button (or press CTRL+A), enter the date the ownership changed, and click OK. (The date you enter must fall within the client's tax year.) UltraTax CS automatically adds a column for the date you entered and shows the percentage or unit from the previous column for each partner.
- In the date column you just added, update the percentage or unit for partners whose ownership has changed.
- Enter additional ownership changes, up to one change for each day of the client's tax year, as needed. If you enter additional ownership changes, UltraTax CS automatically updates the percentages or units in each date column according to the percentages or units in the previous date column.
- To view or print the computation of the partners' calculated prorated percentages, choose File > Print Reports, click the Prorated percentage computation option in the Print what group box, and click the Preview or Print button.
Notes
- If an amount is specially allocated to the partners using the Special Allocation of dialog, UltraTax CS does not use this method to calculate the partners' distributive share amount for that item only.
- If an amount exists in any field in the Interim Closing Annualization window for any application and ownership period, UltraTax CS does not use this method to calculate any partners' distributive share amounts.
- See the Can you provide an example of how an amount is distributed to a partner when using the proration method versus using the interim closing of books method FAQ for more information about how UltraTax CS calculates the partners' distributive share amounts.
