I am also having the same problem. The info was reported on my LA Tax forms, but Turbotax only provided the info, not the filled in form. I need this form also. The other state involved is Mississippi so there are exceptions to me filling out the form and I have no idea what those exceptions are.

Column 1 - state abbreviation

Column 2- gross earnings in state in column 1
Column 3 -column 2 divided by federal agi from federal 1040

Column 4-Federal Income Tax x ratio in Column 3

Column 5 - Column 2- column 4=column 5

Column 6 - Column 5 divided by Line 10 of your Louisiana Income Tax return (Louisiana Tax Table Income)

Column 7 - Column 6 x Income Tax on Louisiana return line 11

Column 8 - tax paid to other state (be sure to deduct any refund)

Column 9 - Lesser of column 7 or column 8

Would someone please verify which figure from the Mississippi tax return goes in column 2 of the Louisiana R-10606. Is it line 16, Mississippi Adjusted Gross Income? Or is it line 19, Mississippi Taxable Income?

Thanks!

2021 is the first time I used TurboTax. I had always used HR Block. In 2020, Form R-10606 for Louisiana was filled in by HR Block's software. I assumed the same is for TurboTax. Not. I just received a request from LA to fill this form in. This form is not intuitive, and I am beyond angry that TurboTax files a Schedule C which uses data from R-10606 but does NOT include the REQUIRED R-10606. I have to call TurboTax because the instructions make no sense to do this manually. I found one worksheet in TurboTax called 'Smart Worksheets from your 2021 Louisiana Tax Form' which appears to contain the information. The problem I have is Columns 8 and 9. I am pretty sure that these two columns in R-10606 come from the 'Smart Worksheet,' which does NOT match the R-10606 instructions.

If LA was your resident state then you need to complete all the non resident states before you complete the LA interview ... if you do so the taxes paid should automatically carry properly or you will have the chance to enter the yourself ...

I did a test return ... indicated in the MY INFO that I was an LA resident but earned income in IN so when I got to the state section the IN and the LA returns were waiting for me listed in the order they are to be completed ... so I completed them in the correct order and the program completed the other state credit automatically so if you did not get either of these screens then you did not complete the interview correctly in the order the items are presented :

To get this form filled in correctly I suggest you use the amendment option to get back into the program and review the LA interview again to see if you get either of the screens posted above then you can print the form you need to mail in the PRINT CENTER in the TOOLS section of the menu bar on the left side of the screen.

All my taxes were submitted in March 2022. I am only now (July 2022) receiving the request from LA's Dept of Revenue for Form R-10606. I figured out several pieces of information this morning while looking at my LA return + MD return + NJ return. TurboTax's Smart Worksheet calculates the values to input Column 9 in R-10606. Column 8 is easy because this is the tax that I am liable for MD and NJ. Column 9 is calculated by multiplying the ratio (or "%" if one is using Excel) of income earned in Other State with LA Tax Line 11 in form IT-540. However, I have the same issue as the person (the Mississippi question above) who asked about Column 2. It is not clear from the R-10606 instructions which value should be the input. There are THREE possibilities: MD/NJ's Wages and Salary OR Gross Income OR Adjusted Gross Income (based on exemptions for MD or NJ). The LA R-10606 instructions say: "Enter the income taxable to the other state that is taxable to Louisiana." Looking at my R-10606 that HR Block's software filled out in 2020, the software entered the amount for Wages and Salaries, which to me, is incorrect. If I were to take a guess, shouldn't the amount be the Gross Income? I'm calling TurboTax tomorrow (Monday) when they open.

I actually called TurboTax with the same question today. The person I asked, couldn’t help me and was guessing the entire time. The amount I did last year in that block was not a figure that was readily apparent on any of the completed forms, but the person who helped me last year said it was the number he had on his computer (he could see the data). I’m with everyone else, Turbo Tax should do the supplemental forms when they have all data necessary to complete them!
