Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I have three items on the K-1 I need help/clarifications:

(1) Income under line 11, code A, has four different items:

     a) IRC Sec 988 gain/loss

     b) Other income/loss

     c) Subpart F Income

     d) Swap income/loss

 

these would probably need to be entered on the k-1 as other. Turbotax does not know where to carry these items in to the return, they properly belong on Schedule 1 line 8z 

 

 

(2) Income under line 11, code I, has one item:

     a) Other income

 

there are 6 categories for this in Turbotax. where it should be reported depends on what it is since it could be reported on schedule 1, form 4797, schedule D or other   forms

if really other then likely schedule 1 line 8z

 

(3) Deductions under line 13, code W

     a) Portfolio deductions

 

Some deductions under line 13, code W as "Other portfolio deductions"

 

unless you have a state income tax that allows these deductions don't bother entering them. these expenses are no longer deductible (through 2025) for individuals though they do reduce your tax basis

 

 

Question 1: This is an investment (non trader) fund. I assume I should enter "No" for material participation. Is that correct?

correct 

 

Question 2: For 11 Code A, should I check the box that says "other portfolio income(loss) to be reported in schedule E, page 2"?

see above but generally, this income is reported on schedule 1 line 8 

 

Question 3: For 11 Code I, should I check the box that says "other non-passive portfolio income(loss) to be reported in schedule E, page 2"?

see above 

 

That seems wrong as it is passive. However, if I enter it in "another descriptive item", it doesn't seem to feed through to the 1040 and end up being an untaxed income

you are correct Turbotax can't handle these lines and states (*) that these may need to be entered on other forms

 

 

 

having said all that in some cases it won't matter (your taxes will be exactly the same) if you enter those items so they flow to scheduke e page 2, but it seems the IRSs wants them on schedule 1.
