New York Form IT-203-GR-ATT-C Schedule C is an attachment used with Form IT-203-GR when a partnership is filing a metropolitan commuter transportation mobility tax, also called MCTMT, group return for qualifying nonresident partners. The purpose of this schedule is to list each nonresident partner who is participating in the MCTMT group return and report that partner’s net earnings from self-employment allocated to the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District, separated by Zone 1 and Zone 2. The schedule also helps calculate each partner’s MCTMT, estimated MCTMT payments or payments made with Form IT-370, balance due, overpayment, and other group return details. Page 1 collects the partnership’s identifying information, each partner’s name and address, Social Security number, MCTD Zone 1 earnings, MCTD Zone 2 earnings, and MCTMT amount. Page 2 continues the same partner rows by repeating the Social Security number and then reporting payments, balances, overpayments, and other group return information. This form is important because each partner’s information must stay in the same row across both pages. If the partnership has more partners than one schedule can hold, more Schedule C forms can be completed and submitted together with the main group return.
How To File New York Form IT-203-GR-ATT-C Schedule C
Complete Schedule C for nonresident partners who qualify and are participating in the MCTMT group return. Start by entering the partnership’s legal name and special New York State identification number at the top of both pages. Then list each partner in either alphabetical order or Social Security number order. Use the same order on page 1 and page 2 so every partner’s tax details match correctly.
If you need more space, complete as many Schedule C forms as needed. Submit all completed Schedule C forms with Form IT-203-GR. If you file more than one Schedule C, enter the combined grand totals from all Schedule C forms only on the last Schedule C. Leave the total boxes blank on the earlier copies. After the totals are completed, carry the required amounts to the proper line on Form IT-203-GR.
Enter negative amounts with a minus sign. Do not use brackets or vague marks for negative numbers. Check that each partner has one row, that the Social Security number on page 2 matches the same partner on page 1, and that the balance due or overpayment is calculated correctly.
