form 1120S schedule B

[jsook31]

hello,

I am close to the end of the tax return. I want to clarify before I file it.

This is my first year to use turbo tax business for my s corporation.

I have used a CPA for previous years since I formed s-corp for my business.

Reviewing the forms, I noticed that question number 4(Form 1120S Schedule B other information) is different than previous years.

( my S-corp received K-1 from a partnership LLC. I own 20% of the LLC.) 

I think that is why turbo tax said "yes" on 4b, and filled the description in the table. But my previous Schedule B specified "no" on that question. I wonder why that is....

I wouldn't worry about the prior year (2018 - 1120S)  unless the CPA failed to pick up the 2018 income/loss from the LLC.  your answer for 2019 is correct

2018 and 2019 returns have exactly the same wording for that line. but the wording doesn't make sense
