Instructions. You may claim a credit for an income tax liability paid to another state or country by yourself, an S. corporation or a
partnership. If you claim this credit for a tax liability paid to another state or country by an S. corporation or a partnership, you must add
back to income on Form 2, line 23 your share of the entity’s deduction for income tax paid, whether separately or non-separately stated
on your Federal K-1.
Please note:
The credit is limited to an income tax liability paid on income that is also taxed by Montana.
Income taxes include excise taxes or franchise taxes that are imposed on and measured by the net income for an S. corporation or
partnership.
This credit is nonrefundable and can not reduce your Montana tax liability below zero.
Unused credits can not be carried over.
Separate computations must be made for each state or country.
A part-year resident must allocate income using Form 2A, page 2, Schedule III when calculating this credit.
