Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@whollycow To create a new K-1 (in the desktop version of TT):

  • In Forms, select 'Open Form', type K-1, and you'll see choices for different K-1 forms that can be opened.  If you select, for example, Sch K-1 Wks-Partnerships (which is what all the MLPs are if that's what you're working with) you'll see a list of all your existing K-1s, but also (at the bottom) the option to type in the name for a new one.
  • In Step-By-Step, Federal Taxes, Wages&Income, "I'll choose what I work on", Schedules K-1 you can get to a list of all your K-1s.  At the bottom of that screen is a box for "Add Another K-1".

While some areas of the tax code can be automated to the point that no judgement / tax understanding is required, partnerships aren't one of them.  While it would certainly be nice if TT offered to automate some tasks (e.g., splitting a K-1 when multiple forms of income are reported), even that comes in many permutations (I've had K-1s that split into 6 different pieces).
