Overview

Use this screen to complete Form BIRT, Philadelphia Business Income and Receipts Tax Return. If multiple units are required, enter the city account number on the applicable federal Screens C, Rent, and F in the State use code field. Enter code 19 and a 7-digit city account number. If information transferred from UltraTax/1040 does not require additional data or coding, UltraTax/1040-PA Cities shows it on the form only, not in the screen.

If the activity (federal Screens C, Rent, and F) associated with Screen PABRT is coded J for joint, UltraTax CS will bring over the joint amount. When the TSJ field is J for joint, the taxpayer’s name will show up on the return. If only half of the income is desired on the return in this situation, use the force fields on Screen PABRT found in the Income and Adjustments tab section.

Note: Philadelphia Business Income and Receipts Tax Returns can be filed electronically.

Income and Apportionment Factors

Gross Receipts

The Gross receipts from sales and/or rentals of tangible personal property (Force), Gross receipts from royalties (Force), Gross receipts from gains on sales of business capital assets, and Other Gross receipts fields make up the total amount that appears on BIRT Schedule D, line 1. Also, these fields are used to directly force the same fields on the BIRT EZ return, lines 6a, 6d, 6e, and 6i. The BIRT-EZ return automatically prints when the apportionment factor calculated on the BIRT Schedule C-1 is 100 percent.
