Unlike partnerships, the CT-34 and CT-34-SH don't have a specific question or line where you can indicate PTET.

However, the form instructions state that you must provide a statement to each shareholder listing their pro rata share of:

• pass-through entity taxable income, and
• direct share of PTET credit.

To generate statements with the required information:

1. Go to Screen 45.091, New York Schedule K.
2. Scroll down to the Pass-Through Entity Tax (PTET) section.
3. Enter the totals for all shareholders in New York State PTET credit and Income.

Lacerte will use the shareholders' stock ownership to calculate their pro rata share of PTE taxable income and credit, which prints in part 2 of the New York Shareholder Summary. If you need to adjust these amounts:

1. Go to Screen 46.091, New York Schedule K-1 Overrides.
2. Scroll down to the Pass-Through Entity Tax (PTET) section.
