Questions people ask

What federal information does DP-120-P use?

The form uses income and deductions from Federal Form 1065, Schedule K. Line 1(l) also asks for other income or loss not reported on Schedule K that should be included in gross business profits.

How do I calculate the total?

Combine lines 1(a) through 1(l), then subtract the sum of lines 1(m) through 1(r). Report the result on NH-1120-WE, Schedule I-A, line 3.

Can all partnership contributions be included on line 1(n)?

No. Include contributions reported on Federal Form 1065, Schedule K, lines 13(a) and 13(b) only to the extent they were made in the partnership's name to enhance its goodwill, and not for a partner's benefit.

Can I use the form for a period other than calendar year 2025?

The form provides spaces for the beginning and ending dates of another taxable period, using MMDDYYYY format.
