I downloaded a TXF file for a midstream PTP into TurboTax. Good.
In forms mode, I go into the K-1 with royalties, TurboTax has me link to a schedule E. I double-click the box, and it asks me to select an existing schedule E or to make a new one. All good so far. But when I create the new form, it asks me to enter the street address. I have wondered what that means. For naming a form, there are other terms that would be more recognizable to me in the list than the street address. But I have been doing as I was told.
I got to wondering. I did a temporary print of forms for filing. The street did not show up. I then tried all forms and important worksheets. The street address shows up, but that was the address that was brought in in the TXF file. It is more complete than the address I entered that was used as a form name.
Now to the question: does it matter if I enter something other than the street address as the form name? I expect not. My theory is this wording was chosen by somebody thinking of a landlord with properties, rather than somebody who bought shares in a publicly traded partnership (PTP).
One more funny (to me) thing: the K-1 royalties box had a $0 amount. TT still wanted linking to schedule E.
TIP: in https://www.taxpackagesupport.com, many of the PTPs can provide a TXF file. Click the 3 vertical dots ("kabob") to the right of where you click to get the PDF. Not all info is in the TXF file, but what is downloaded gives you a good start.
