The apportionment fraction calculated on Line 8 is used to complete Part 3, Schedule A, Column D and Part 3, Schedule B, Column D.
If the PE maintains books and records that satisfactorily disclose the portion of income, gain, loss, or deduction derived from or connected with Connecticut sources then those amounts must be used to complete Part 3, Schedule A, Column D and Part 3, Schedule B, Column D.
Do not include in Part 2 any factors that are associated with the rental of real property or gain or loss from the sale, exchange, or other disposition of real property under Conn.
Agencies Regs. § 12-711(b)-8.
Any such income, gain, loss, and deduction derived from or connected with Connecticut sources must be used to complete Part 3, Schedule A, Column D and Part 3, Schedule B, Column D. If receipts from the sale of tangible personal property are excluded from the sales factor, the net gain (or loss) from such sale should be allocated to the state where the property is located and is not subject to apportionment.
The apportionment fraction is calculated using only those factors directly related to the PE filing the return. Factors from subsidiary PEs should not be included.
Effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2017 , a business, trade, profession, or occupation carried on in Connecticut and outside of Connecticut must apportion its income using a single factor gross income percentage. Businesses must source receipts from the sales of services and intangible property on a market basis. Receipts from the rental, lease, or license of tangible personal property are sourced according to the location of the property.
Receipts from the sale of tangible personal property continue to be sourced based upon the location of the purchaser. See Special Notice 2017(1), Legislative Changes Regarding Single‑Sales Factor Apportionment and Market‑Based Sourcing.

Column B
The amounts in Column B reflect the amounts from subsidiary
PEs. These amounts are subtracted from the amounts in
Column A to arrive at the PE's own income/(loss).
If you are a parent PE, refer to the federal Schedule K-1 and Connecticut Schedule CT K-1 issued to you by subsidiary
PEs. Enter in Column B the portion of Column A attributable to subsidiary PEs. If none of the income or loss in Column A is from subsidiary PEs, enter zero ("0").

Column D
The amounts in Column D reflect the PE's Connecticut income, gain, loss, and deductions from its own activities. Do not include any amounts from subsidiary PEs. Enter zero ("0ˮ) in Column D if the entity's only source of Connecticut income or loss is from its distributive share(s) of income from its subsidiary PE(s).
Line 1: Ordinary business income (loss)
Enter the Connecticut portion of PE's nonseparately stated income or loss.
A PE that maintains books and records that satisfactorily disclose the portion of its nonseparately stated income or loss reported on Line 1, Column C that is derived from or connected with Connecticut sources must enter such amount on Line 1, Column D.
A PE that does not maintain books and records that satisfactorily disclose the portion of its nonseparately stated income or loss reported on Line 1, Column C derived from or connected with Connecticut sources must use the apportionment fraction computed on Part 2, Line 8, to determine the portion of any item derived from or connected with Connecticut sources.
Example 1: Assume that a PE, whose nonseparately stated income is entirely derived from its business, maintains books and records that satisfactorily disclose the portion of the income derived from or connected with Connecticut. Assume the PE has nonseparately stated income of $500,000 derived from or connected with Connecticut sources. PE must enter $500,000 on Line 1, Column D.
Example 2: Assume that a PE does not maintain books and records that satisfactorily disclose the portion of its nonseparately stated income derived from or connected with Connecticut. Assume that the PE's nonseparately stated income is $1,000,000 and its apportionment fraction as reported on Part 2, Line 8, is 40%. The PE must enter $400,000 ($1,000,000 x 0.40 = $400,000) on Line 1, Column D as the amount the PE's nonseparately stated income derived from or connected with Connecticut sources.
Line 2: Net rental real estate income (loss)
Enter the Connecticut portion of PE's income (loss) reported on Line 2, Column C that is attributable to rental activities.
The Connecticut portion of amounts attributable to real property located in Connecticut is 100%. The Connecticut portion of amounts attributable to real property located outside Connecticut is 0%.
Line 3: Other net rental income (loss)
Enter the Connecticut portion of the PE's other net rental income or loss reported on Line 3, Column C. Unless the PE maintains books and records that satisfactorily disclos e the portion of income, gain, loss, or deduction derived from or connected with Connecticut sources, the Connecticut portion is calculated by multiplying the amount reported in Column C by the apportionment fraction on Part 2, Line 8.
Line 4: Guaranteed payments (partnerships and LLCs treated as partnerships only) Enter the Connecticut portion of the PE's guaranteed payments reported on Line 4, Column C. Unless the PE maintains books and records that satisfactorily disclose the portion of income, gain, loss, or deduction derived from or connected with Connecticut sources, the Connecticut portion is calculated by multiplying the amount reported in Column C by the apportionment fraction on Part 2, Line 8.
If the PE has used the apportionment fraction to calculate the portion of its nonseparately stated income derived from or connected with Connecticut sources on Line 1, the PE must also use the apportionment fraction to calculate its guaranteed payments derived from or connected with Connecticut sources on Line 4.
Line 5: Interest income
Enter the Connecticut portion of the PE's interest income reported on Line 5, Column C. Items of income, gain, loss, and deduction derived from or connected with sources within Connecticut do not include items attributable to intangible personal property except to the extent the intangible personal property is employed in a business, trade, profession, or occupation carried on in Connecticut.
Unless the PE maintains books and records that satisfactorily disclose the portion of the interest income derived from or connected with Connecticut sources, the Connecticut portion is calculated by multiplying the amount reported in Column C by the apportionment fraction on Part 2, Line 8.
Line 6a: Ordinary dividends
Enter the Connecticut portion of the PE's dividend income reported on Line 6a, Column C. Items of income, gain, loss, and deduction derived from or connected with sources within Connecticut do not include items attributable to intangible personal property except to the extent the intangible personal property is employed in a business, trade, profession, or occupation carried on in Connecticut. For example, dividends from stock used as collateral to secure a business loan (for a Connecticut business) would be income from intangible personal property employed in a Connecticut trade or business, and therefore, would be subject to Connecticut income tax. Unless the PE maintains books and records that satisfactorily disclose the portion of the dividend income derived from or connected with Connecticut sources, calculate the Connecticut portion by multiplying the amount reported in Column C by the apportionment fraction on Part 2, Line 8.
Line 7: Royalties
Enter the Connecticut portion of the PE's royalty income reported on Line 7, Column C. Items of income, gain, loss, and deduction derived from or connected with sources within Connecticut do not include items attributable to intangible personal property except to the extent the intangible personal property is employed in a business, trade, profession, or occupation carried on in Connecticut. Unless the PE maintains books and records that satisfactorily disclose the portion of the royalties income derived from or connected with Connecticut sources, calculate the Connecticut portion by multiplying the amount reported in Column C by the apportionment fraction on Part 2, Line 8.
Line 8: Net short-term capital gain (loss)
Enter the Connecticut portion of the PE's net short-term capital gain (loss) reported on Line 8, Column C. If the amount relates to the sale of rental property located in Connecticut, the capital gain (loss) is 100% sourced to Connecticut. Items of capital gain (loss) attributable to intangible personal property (such as the sale of stock) are not sourced to Connecticut except to the extent the intangible personal property is employed in a business, trade, profession, or occupation carried on in Connecticut.
Certain short term gains and losses from the sale or disposition of an interest in an entity that owns, directly
or indirectly, real property in Connecticut is considered Connecticut sourced income.

(loss) attributable to intangible personal property, such as the sale of stock, are not sourced to Connecticut except to the extent the intangible personal property is employed in a business, trade, profession, or occupation carried on in Connecticut.
Certain long term gains and losses from the sale or disposition of an interest in an entity that owns, directly or indirectly, real property in Connecticut is considered Connecticut sourced income.
Entity means a partnership, limited liability company, or S corporation.
Line 10: Net section 1231 gain (loss)
Enter the Connecticut portion of the PE's gain (loss) under IRC § 1231 reported on Line 10, Column C.
The Connecticut portion of amounts attributable to real property located in Connecticut is 100%. The Connecticut portion of amounts attributable to real property located outside Connecticut is 0%.
If the gain (loss) is not attributable to real property and the PE does not maintain books and records that satisfactorily disclose the portion of income, gain, loss, or deduction derived from or connected with Connecticut sources, then the Connecticut portion is calculated by multiplying the amount reported in Column C by the apportionment fraction on Part 2, Line 8.
Line 11: Other income (loss)
Enter the Connecticut portion of the PE's other items of income or loss not included on Lines 1 through 10 above.
Attach a statement that separately identifies the type and amount of income or loss.
Unless the PE maintains books and records that satisfactorily disclose the portion of income, gain, loss, or deduction derived from or connected with Connecticut sources, the Connecticut portion is calculated by multiplying the amount reported in Column C by the apportionment fraction on Part 2, Line 8.
Line 12: Section 179 deduction
Enter the Connecticut portion of the PE's deduction allowed under IRC § 179 reported on Line 12, Column C.
Unless the PE maintains books and records that satisfactorily disclose the portion of income, gain, loss, or deduction derived from or connected with Connecticut sources, the Connecticut portion is calculated by multiplying the amount reported in Column C by the apportionment fraction on Part 2, Line 8.
Line 13: Other deductions
Enter the Connecticut portion of the PE's other deductions not deducted in arriving at ordinary income or loss from trade or business activities and separately stated on the federal Schedule K-1. Deductions that are deemed to be itemized deductions or are subject to limitations at the member level for federal income tax purposes should not be included as part of other deductions in determining Connecticut source income.
Unless the PE maintains books and records that satisfactorily disclose the portion of income, gain, loss, or deduction derived from or connected with Connecticut sources, the Connecticut portion is calculated by multiplying the amount reported in Column C by the apportionment fraction on Part 2, Line 8.
Attach a statement that separately identifies the type and amount of each deduction.
Line 15: Subtraction Modifications
Enter the Connecticut portion of the PE's Connecticut subtraction modifications. This amount is reported on Part 3, Schedule B, Line 15, Column D.
Line 17a: Connecticut PE Tax Payments
Enter the amount of Connecticut PE Tax payments that were deducted in calculating income or loss for federal purposes less any Connecticut refunds of PE Tax reported as income on the federal return. If refunds of Connecticut PE Tax exceed the Connecticut PE Tax payments, report the net refund as a negative number on this line. Unless the PE maintains books and records that satisfactorily disclose the portion of income, gain, loss, or deduction derived from or connected with Connecticut sources, the Connecticut portion is calculated by multiplying the amount reported in Column C by the apportionment fraction on Part 2, Line 8.
