State pass-through entity elective taxes (PTET): a state-by-state table for tax year 2026, with 2025 return notes

Figures are for tax year 2026 unless a line says 2025. The federal figures come from 26 U.S.C. §164(b) as amended by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (P.L. 119-21). The state rows come from each state's revenue department or legislature, checked on 25 September 2026. A row marked check is one we could not confirm from an official source. Do not rely on it until you have read that state's own guidance.

Scope and who this is for

• Covers: partnerships (including LLCs taxed as partnerships) and S corporations that are deciding whether to elect a state's pass-through entity tax, and the owners who receive the credit, exclusion or deduction. It gives, for each state that has one, how and when to elect, the rate, who may elect, what the owner gets, what nonresident owners must still file, and whether the tax is available for 2026.
• Federal side: the SALT deduction cap for individuals and why an entity-level state tax falls outside it (IRS Notice 2020-75; 26 U.S.C. §164).
• Does not cover: preparing the entity's PTET return line by line, a C corporation's own state tax, composite returns where no PTET exists, trusts and estates as electing entities, and the US territories.
• State detail lives elsewhere. For one state in depth, use that state's own Guide (for example ca-540-individual-return, ga-corporate-and-ptet, nj-cbt-and-bait) and the state's instructions linked in the table. State rules change most years; read the current-year instructions before filing.

Ask the client first

• Which tax year is being decided: 2026 (elections still open in some states) or 2025 (a few states still accept an election on an extended 2025 return)?
• What is the entity for federal tax: a partnership, an LLC taxed as a partnership, an S corporation, or a disregarded single-member LLC? Most states refuse a disregarded entity.
• Who are the owners? For each owner, get the type (individual, trust, estate, corporation, partnership, tax-exempt body), the state of residence, and the share. Several states refuse the election outright if even one owner is the wrong type.
• In which states does the entity have income, and how much is apportioned to each?
• For each individual owner: filing status, expected modified adjusted gross income (MAGI), and other state and local taxes (property tax, tax on wages). These decide how much the federal cap is really costing them.
• Has anyone already missed a date? Ask about New York (15 March of the tax year) and California (15 June payment) first.
• Can the entity fund estimated payments during the year? Most states want them.
• Does the entity have a net operating loss or large credits? Some states warn against electing then.

The method, step by step

1. Check the federal cap first. For 2026 an individual's deduction for state and local taxes is capped at $40,400 ($20,200 married filing separately). The cap is cut by 30% of MAGI above $505,000 ($252,500 separate), but never below $10,000 ($5,000 separate) (26 U.S.C. §164(b)(7)). If the owner's state and local taxes already fit under their cap, the election saves little federally.
2. Confirm the tax falls outside the cap. A state income tax imposed on and paid by the partnership or S corporation is deducted by the entity in computing non-separately stated income. It is not counted against any owner's SALT cap. This holds whether the tax is elective and whatever credit, exclusion or deduction the owner gets (Notice 2020-75).
3. Find the state row in the table below. Confirm the state has a PTET for the year and that it has not expired. Then check the election method and deadline, and whether the entity and every owner are allowed.
4. Test each owner. Work out what each owner gets: a credit, an exclusion or a deduction. Check whether it is refundable, and whether the owner's home state gives a credit for another state's PTET. Owners who get no credit, often corporate or partnership partners, may just bear the cost.
5. Model cash and dates. Put the election deadline, any prepayment, the estimated payments and the entity return date on the calendar.
6. Make the election the way the state requires. That might be online, on a separate form or on the return. Some states only let an authorised person inside the business make it, not the tax preparer.
7. Follow through on the owner returns. Owners often add back the entity's state tax deduction and then claim the credit or exclusion. Nonresident owners may still have to file (see the table).

Federal figures, with years

Item	2025	2026	Source
SALT cap (single, joint, head of household)	$40,000	$40,400	§164(b)(7)(A)
SALT cap, married filing separately (half)	$20,000	$20,200	§164(b)(6)
MAGI threshold for the phase-down (half if filing separately: $250,000 / $252,500)	$500,000	$505,000	§164(b)(7)(B)
Phase-down rate	30% of MAGI over the threshold	30% of MAGI over the threshold	§164(b)(7)(B)
Floor after the phase-down (half if filing separately: $5,000)	$10,000	$10,000	§164(b)(7)(B)(iii)

• 2027 to 2029: the cap and the threshold each rise to 101 percent of the prior year's figure. The phase-down applies only to tax years beginning before 1 January 2030 (§164(b)(7)).
• From 2030: the cap reverts to $10,000 for tax years beginning after 2029 (§164(b)(7)(A)(iv)).
• Married filing separately: the cap and the threshold are both halved (§164(b)(6)–(7)).
• The PTET route was not restricted by P.L. 119-21. The Act changed the cap in §164(b) and added paragraph (7). The enacted text contains no limit on entity-level state taxes (§164, amendments note).
• Notice 2020-75 is still guidance, not a regulation. It announced proposed regulations and says taxpayers may rely on it until they are issued (Notice 2020-75). Check irs.gov for any later guidance before filing.

The state table (tax year 2026)

How to read it:

• Owner gets is one of three things. A credit is set against the owner's own state tax. An exclusion means the income taxed at the entity drops out of the owner's state return. A refundable credit is paid out if it exceeds the owner's tax.
• Nonresident owners says whether the election relieves a nonresident owner of filing that state's return. "Not stated" means the state's guidance does not say either way.
• Rates are labelled with their year. Several states set the PTET rate equal to the top individual rate, so the rate moves when that rate moves.

Boundaries and exceptions

Situation	Rule	Source
Owner's own state and local taxes are already under the federal cap	The election still moves the state tax to the entity, but the federal saving is small. Model it before electing.	§164(b)
Owner's MAGI is above the threshold	The cap shrinks by 30% of the excess, down to $10,000. At that point the entity-level deduction is worth the most.	§164(b)(7)(B)
Corporate, partnership or tax-exempt owners	Many states leave their shares out of the base or give them no credit (NY, MN, VA, HI, MT). In North Carolina and South Carolina, one such owner can block the election for everyone.	State rows above
Disregarded single-member LLC	It cannot elect in most states (NY unless it is an S corporation, OH, IN, IA, NE, WV, VA).	State rows above
Election method is not "on the return"	NY, NJ and MS need a separate election. Maryland treats the first payment or filing of the year as the election. Michigan's is made by payment.	State rows above
Election carries over to later years	Louisiana, Oklahoma and Mississippi elections run until revoked. Michigan's binds for 3 years. Everywhere else it is year by year.	State rows above
Owner's home state and a second state's PTET	Whether the home state gives a credit for another state's PTET depends on the home state. For example, Connecticut and Maine give residents a credit for a substantially similar tax paid to another state. When a South Carolina entity makes the SC election, its owners are generally not entitled to South Carolina's credit for tax paid to other states. Check the home state's credit form.	Ch. 228z; Maine Revenue law changes for 2026; SC policy manual ch. 3
Credit worth less than the tax paid	Connecticut gives 87.5%, Massachusetts 90% (2021 text) and Maine 90%. Iowa's credit is cut by the tax rate. The owner bears the difference.	State rows above
Nonrefundable credit	Arizona, California, Hawaii, Missouri, Utah and West Virginia credits are not refunded. Excess credit only carries forward.	State rows above

Worked cases

Case 1: 2026 federal cap with the phase-down. A married couple filing jointly has 2026 MAGI of $555,000. The excess over $505,000 is $50,000. The reduction is 30% × $50,000 = $15,000, so their 2026 cap is $40,400 − $15,000 = $25,400. That is still above the $10,000 floor (§164(b)(7)).

Case 2: the floor. The same couple with 2026 MAGI of $650,000. The excess is $145,000, and 30% of that is $43,500. That is more than the $30,400 that sits above the floor ($40,400 − $10,000), so the cap is $10,000 (§164(b)(7)(B)(iii)). State tax moved into the entity is then worth the most federally, because the entity deducts it and it is outside the cap (Notice 2020-75).

Case 3: Oregon 2026. An electing S corporation has $400,000 of distributive proceeds. The tax is 9% × $250,000 = $22,500, plus 9.9% × $150,000 = $14,850, a total of $37,350. The election needs an OR-21 filed by the due date including extensions. For 2026 only, the first two estimates are both due 15 June (ODR).

Case 4: New York State 2026. A partnership with $3,000,000 of PTE taxable income owes $137,000 plus 9.65% × $1,000,000 = $96,500, a total of $233,500 (rates). This only works if the election was made online by 15 March 2026. After that date, 2026 is closed (PTET).

Case 5: California 2026 short June payment. The prior year's PTE tax was $60,000, so the 15 June 2026 payment must be the greater of $1,000 or 50% × $60,000 = $30,000. The entity pays only $20,000, leaving $10,000 unpaid. An owner with a 50% share has a $5,000 share of the unpaid amount. That owner's credit is reduced by 12.5% × $5,000 = $625. The election itself survives for 2026 (FTB).

Case 6: North Carolina 2026 exclusion. A taxed partnership with $500,000 of NC income owes 3.99% × $500,000 = $19,950. Each owner deducts their share of that income on their NC return; there is no credit. The partnership cannot elect at all if any partner is, for example, a corporation (NCDOR notice; rates).

When to refuse or refer

• The state row says check (Idaho, Rhode Island, Utah for 2026, the Maine election mechanics, and the unverified items in other rows). Do not advise from this Guide; read the state's current instructions first.
• A deadline has passed and the client wants to elect late. The state pages checked for this Guide describe no general late-election relief (Oregon and North Carolina say outright that a late return cannot carry the election). Refer to a state tax specialist rather than filing.
• Tiered entities (a PTE owning a PTE), trusts or estates as owners, or entities with corporate owners in states that restrict them.
• Owners who are residents of a state whose credit for other-state PTETs is unclear, where the double-tax risk is material.
• Entities with net operating losses in states that disallow them against the tax (for example Alabama, Iowa, and New Mexico, which advises such entities not to elect for now).
• Any question on how the entity-level deduction interacts with the owner's federal QBI deduction, or with basis and at-risk limits. Refer to the federal preparer.

Filing and payment

• Estimated payments are required in most states once the election is expected. Examples from the sources:
  • New York State and City: 15 March, 15 June, 15 September and 15 December of the tax year.
  • Oregon: 15 April, 15 June, 15 September and 15 January; in 2026 only, the first two are both due 15 June.
  • Indiana (2026 onward): 20 April, 20 June, 20 September and 20 December.
  • Hawaii: the 20th of April, June, September and January.
  • Ohio (2026 onward): 15 April, 15 June, 15 September and 15 January.
  • Missouri requires no estimates. See each state's page in the table.
• Returns: the entity files the state's PTET return or schedule; Hawaii cancels an election that is not filed and paid electronically, and Oregon accepts only electronic returns (DOTAX; ODR).
• Owners: give each owner their share of tax paid on the state's owner statement (for example NY IT-653 support, CA 3804-CR support, NM RPD-41359). Issue Oregon's OR-21-K-1 only after the entity return is filed, or the credit can be disallowed (ODR).
• Federal reporting: the entity deducts the state tax in computing its non-separately stated income; it is not a separately stated SALT item for owners (Notice 2020-75).

2025 returns (dated section)

• 2025 federal cap: $40,000 ($20,000 married filing separately), reduced by 30% of MAGI over $500,000 ($250,000 separate), but not below $10,000 ($5,000 separate) (§164(b)(7)). Extended 2025 individual returns are due 15 October 2026.
• Late 2025 elections that may still be open on 25 September 2026: only where the state ties the election to an extended due date that has not yet passed. For example:
  • Oregon's OR-21 is due 15 October with an extension (ODR).
  • Hawaii's N-362E is due by the 20th day of the 10th month if extended (DOTAX).
  • Iowa's deadline is six months after the original return due date (IDR).
  • New York, New Jersey and California 2025 elections closed long ago; do not attempt them.
• 2025 rates differ in several rows (for example Indiana 3.00%, Georgia 5.19%, Kentucky 4.0%, Nebraska 5.20%, North Carolina 4.25%). Use the 2025 figure for a 2025 return.
• Minnesota re-enacted its tax for 2026 after it had lapsed at the end of 2025 (2026 bill analysis). A 2025 Minnesota election had to be made by the due date or extended due date of the 2025 PTE return (Minn. Stat. 289A.08).

Completion checklist

• Tax year confirmed (2026, or a still-open 2025 election).
• Owner-level federal cap computed for each individual owner, with the 2026 threshold and floor.
• State row read; any check item resolved from the state's own current guidance.
• Entity type and every owner's type tested against the state's eligibility rules.
• Election method and deadline diarised (NY 15 March; CA 15 June payment; MD first payment with the form; NJ original due date).
• Rate for the correct year applied; credit haircut or nonrefundable status noted for each owner.
• Home-state credit for other-state PTET confirmed for each resident owner.
• Nonresident owners told whether they must still file.
• Estimated payments scheduled and funded.
• Owner statements issued after the entity return (Oregon) and add-backs flagged on owner returns.
