There is no requirement for duplicative payments under Chapter 63D or in the Massachusetts withholding rules. Will PTEs be required to pay both the PTE Excise and PTE withholding tax on the same income in 2021? (Added 11/30/21) The statutory rates that apply to each class of income must nevertheless, as relevant, be applied on the return of each qualified member. If a PTE makes an election to pay the PTE Excise, the entity’s income is taxed at a rate of 5%, regardless of whether the income is Part A, B or C income under the Massachusetts personal income tax statute. Partner D may make its own election to be subject to the PTE Excise. Its un-apportioned 25% of the $1,000 income flows up to its own Form 3 return. *Note that in this example no PTE Excise is allocable to Partner D-the upper-tier PTE-regardless of the identity of the partners of Partner D.
#USING TURBOTAX FOR S CORP CODE#
“Eligible pass-through entity” is defined as an S corporation under section 1361 of the Internal Revenue Code (Code), a partnership under section 7701 of the Code or a limited liability company that is treated as an S corporation or partnership under those Code sections.

Only an eligible pass-through entity can make an election to pay the PTE Excise. Who is eligible to make an election to pay the PTE Excise under chapter 63D? (Updated 12/15/21) Taxpayers should consult their tax advisors to determine whether they might benefit from the election. The PTE Excise must be paid electronically.

To elect the excise, a PTE must file electronically Form 63D-ELT, their income tax return, and all schedules. Qualified members of an electing PTE are eligible for a credit equal to 90% of a member’s distributive share of PTE Excise paid. The law will expire if the federal SALT deduction limitation expires or is repealed. Under the new legislation, for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2021, entities taxed as S corporations and partnerships, and certain trusts, may elect annually to be subject to the pass-through entity excise (PTE Excise) at a rate of 5%. Massachusetts joins several other states in enacting an entity-level excise that responds to the SALT cap. On September 30, 2021, the Massachusetts Legislature enacted an elective pass-through entity (PTE) excise in response to the $10,000 cap on the federal state and local tax (SALT) deduction added in the 2017 federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
