A credit may be allowed against 2013 Vermont income tax for income tax paid in 2013 tax year to another state
or Canadian province on income that is taxed by both Vermont and the other taxing jurisdiction.
Supporting Documents Required: Copy of 2013 income tax return filed in the other state(s). For Canadian

Federal Adjusted Gross Income.
More Than One State Or Canadian Province?
• Complete a Schedule IN-117 for each state or Canadian province. Do NOT combine the income and
credit of all states or provinces on one Schedule IN-117.
• Add Line 21 from each Schedule IN-117 to calculate the tax credit entry on Form IN-111, Line 23.
• Attach all Schedules IN-117 and the supporting documents required.
Line 1 Enter the name of the state or Canadian province where you paid income tax. Use the standard two-letter
abbreviation.
Line 2 Enter Adjusted Gross Income taxed in another state or Canadian province that is also subject to Vermont
income tax. The Adjusted Gross Income for the other state or Canadian province cannot exceed the amount on
Form IN-111, Line 10.
Lines 3 through 9 Adjustments for bonus depreciation, non-Vermont state and local obligations, and U.S.
government interest income are made to create the income comparable to the Adjusted Gross Income used for
Vermont income tax purposes.
Line 10 Enter the Adjusted Gross Income from IN-111, Line 10.
Lines 11 - 16 Adjustments for bonus depreciation, non-Vermont state and local obligations, and U.S. government
interest income are made to make the income comparable to the other state or Canadian province.
Line 17 Subtract Line 16 from Line 13. If Line 16 is greater than Line 13, enter zero.
Line 18 Enter the Vermont income tax calculated on Form IN-111, Line 20.
Line 19 Divide Line 9, Modified Adjusted Gross Income for the other state or Canadian province by Line 17,
Modified Adjusted Gross Income for Vermont, and multiply that result by Line 18.
Line 20 Enter the amount of income tax paid to the other state or Canadian province. This amount is income
tax paid to the state or Canadian province; not the amount of withholding. City and county tax paid to the other
state is not allowed. Credit for the Canadian provincial income tax does not include the portion used as a foreign
credit on Federal return 1040.
Line 21 Enter the lesser of Line 19 or 20. This is your credit for income tax paid to another state or Canadian
province. If this is the only state or province, also enter on Form IN-111, Line 23. Otherwise, see instructions for
“More Than One State or Canadian Province.”
