Question

Line K on K-1

This is the second year this has happened to me, both 2022 and 2023 Turbo Tax for Business.  I'm finished with all of my entries but then I get an error message saying "Sch K Reconciliation Report (Lines K-1 K3 Items L Net Inc): Blah Blah Blah .... in summary it says that I don't have anything in Line K for the partner share of Liabilities Beginning and Ending.  It shows me a screen, which I cannot edit, and there is no place to put the Beginning and Ending Liabilities for each partner.  Why can't Turbo Tax correct this feature?  Looks like I'll have to return the program again this year.

Partner Liabilities balances are entered under Business Info >> Partner/Member Information. You'll need to work through each partner separately to find the input screen.

Also, you can use Forms Mode to open Sch K-1 Wks, where you can enter this information directly for each partner. Liabilities appear in the left column. Note this form has an internal navigation bar on the right side to move between the partner records.

 

Additional Info: How do I switch to Forms Mode in the TurboTax for Windows software?

Patricia, 

 

Thank you, however, that only gets me to the "Beginning Liability" numbers not the "Ending Liability" I have my liabilities under "Other Liabilities" and I thought that would report directly to the K-1 in the appropriate section but when I run my error report it still indicates there are liabilities missing on the Schedule K Reconciliation, which I can't access or input from the error screen.  Help!

Is there a liability line that reports to all partners, not just the General Partners?


Recourse and NonRecourse Liabilities are allocated to all partners according to their ownership percentages. Or you can set up Special Allocations, if needed, under the Business Info section.
