Reporting Write-Ins on Form 2

by

Write-ins refer to additional adjustments to income that are not reported on the federal Form 1040, Schedule 1, but which must be taken into account to determine federal adjusted gross income.

On federal Form 1040, Schedule 1, the write-ins must be included on line 36.

On the Montana Form 2, you must also include the write-ins adjustments on line 36 of the federal Form 1040, Schedule 1, on page 2. However, you do not have to mark this line with any code if you already marked your federal Form 1040, Schedule 1.

If you are adjusting your gross income by including several write-ins adjustments, or you are married and filing jointly for federal tax purposes and separately for Montana tax purposes, you may include a statement with your return identifying the write-ins or their allocation.

What’s Changed for 2019

by

Individual Income Tax

Updated Form: Montana Individual Income Tax Return (Form 2)
We have consolidated the Montana Individual Income Tax Return (Form 2) to better match the federal Form 1040.
Part of this change streamlines the layout of the Form 2. We have moved worksheets to be near their related schedules inside the Form 2. As such, we are no longer able to provide worksheets or schedules apart from the Form 2.
Paperless Change: Elderly Homeowner/Renter Credit
The Form 2EC is no longer available for paper filers. To claim the Elderly Homeowner/Renter Credit on paper, you will need to file a Montana Individual Income Tax Return (Form 2).
If you do not have a filing requirement and do not wish to file a Form 2, you still claim this credit through our TransAction Portal (TAP).
Removed Form: Montana Individual Income Tax Return (Form 2EZ)
We are discontinuing the Montana Individual Income Tax Return (Form 2EZ). This change matches the federal change to discontinue the federal Form 1040EZ.
If you previously filed the Form 2EZ, you will need to file a Form 2, or view other filing options.
Paperless Change: Form 1099-G, Certain Government Payments
We are no longer mailing Forms 1099-G.
You may access your Form 1099-G through our TransAction Portal (TAP).

Wage Withholding

New Form: Montana Employee’s Withholding Allowance and Exemption Certificate (Form MW-4)
Due to changes to the federal form, we have implemented a Montana-specific Withholding Allowance and Exemption Certificate.

  • New employees need to complete the Montana Form MW-4.
  • Current employees do not need to fill out a Form MW-4 unless their situation changes.
The new Form MW-4 will also be used to replace the Reciprocity Exemption from Withholding (Form MT-R), used to claim the North Dakota Reciprocity Agreement Exemption.

Property

Paperless Change: Livestock Reporting
We will no longer mail Livestock Reporting forms.
Livestock owners can report their livestock and pay the per capita fees through ReportYourLivestock.mt.gov.
