Yes, you are correct. When a partnership receives Form 1099-C reporting canceled debt, this becomes income passed through to the partners on Schedule K-1.

 

To enter cancelation of debt income in the partnership return, go to Forms:

  1. Open Form 1065 p5-6 
  2. Go to Line 11 G
  3. Enter amount from 1099-C and code E will appear in the small box.
  4. This will be allocated according to ownership percentage and appear on Schedule K-1 Part III Line 11 Code E.

Entering 1099-C under Other Income includes the amount in net income but loses the debt cancellation character.
