K1 No Income - Do I need to report?

My son has dabbled in penny stock. He has two K1 forms with 0 profit, loss, captial, income, etc. Every line is zero. Do these forms need to be reported?

No these do not need to be reported.

How about loss profit, like -$20, do I need to report?

All income needs to be reported --however all losses do not have to be reported --As long as return is substantially correct.

K1 No Income - Do I need to report?

I submitted my federal tax for 2019 and it was accepted.

 

I just receive a Schedule K-1 (form 1065) with $0 dollars of income/loss.  Do I have to file an amended federal return? 

 

Thank You,

No, if there is no taxable income you do not have to amend.

K1 No Income - Do I need to report?

Hi,

 

I just received a K1 (form 1065)  a tax package from USO. I sold all my shares in 2020 with a loss. On the paper, it said $0 interest income, dividends, and negative number in Other income (loss). Basically, I did not make any profit and sold the stocks. Do I still have to fill the tax package or report this ?

Yes, you need to include Form K-1 to your tax return, even if there is no income. The loss form the partnership can offset your other income.

so is it mandatory for me to report it or I can choose not to?

It is not mandatory that you report it. The IRS matches income, not negative income. 

 

It would probably be to your benefit to include the loss since it would reduce your taxable income. 

 

Here is a link to help in entering a K-1.

K1 No Income - Do I need to report?

I sold my ETF - USO LP completely at loss.

 

My 1099-B correctly shows the loss amount, but my Schedule K-1 1065 are all empty and has just 0 amount from box 1 to 22 on the right side of the form. Except on the left side, in Capital account Analysis, it shows a positive number in line Capital contributed during the year and same number but in parenthesis in line Withdrawals & distributions, that specific dollar number is my cost basis.

 

1. Does this Schedule K-1 needs to be amended to show my final loss since I sold all shares and has a loss?

2. If I just correctly report my loss in form 8949 based on number found on 1099-B, do I still have to file the Schedule K-1?

K1 No Income - Do I need to report?

Yes, the Schedule K-1 should be amended, and yes, you must enter in the K-1  and  report the 1099-B using the basis and the loss info from the K-1.

Thanks Renee,

I contacted them, and they are saying as long as the transaction is correct (they mean Schedule K-1 Ownership Schedule page showing correct number of shares bought and sold and the final number of share is 0), there is no need to amend the Schedule K-1...

 

In the Page of Sales Schedule, my Schedule K-1 asks me to reference my own Form 8949 for Sales Proceeds which shows empty again on my Schedule K-1 Sales Schedule Page. And the Cumulative Adjustments to Basis are showing all 0, should I enter the adjustment myself and file the K-1?Sales ScheduleSales Schedule

If the K-1 form does not show any income or loss and you report the gain/loss correctly on your form 1099-B entry, you do not need to make the K-1 entry in my opinion.

Hi Thomas,

 

I just have received my K-1 form from 2015 to 2019, which have never been filed in my previous tax returns. But they all have no gain or loss, do I need amend previous return to add my K-1 Form 1065?

 

Thanks,

Belle
