Resolving state business allocation percentage diagnostics in ProConnect

In ProConnect, when setting a return as a multi-state return, the following diagnostics may generate:

• S corporate module:  (State) business allocation percentage is 0%. Please review for accuracy. (ref. #25660)
• Corporate module:  (State) business allocation percentage is 0%. Please review for accuracy. (ref. #25692)

To view state apportionment factors and percentages:

1. To to Check Return ⮕ Forms ⮕ US
2. Review the states listed on the Multi-State Apportionment Summary for accuracy.
   • After reviewing your apportionment summary, if the zero is accurate, you can ignore the diagnostic as it's informational only and won't stop you from e-filing.

If the diagnostics are incorrect:

• Make sure the Property Factor, Sales Factor, and Payroll Factor are apportioned correctly (this will depend on the Apportionment Factors for each state).
• You can override the apportionment rate:
  • For an S Corporation go to Input Return ⮕ State & Local ⮕ Apportionment.
  • For a Corporation go to Input Return ⮕ State & Local ⮕ Apportionment.

If the return isn't a multi-state return:

1. Go to Input Return ⮕ General ⮕ Client Information
2. Scroll down to the State Information section.
3. Unselect the box labeled Multi-State Return?
