Business & farm

After reviewing the diagnostic copy of your return, we discovered that the Schedule K-1 for this partnership did not reflect material participation. This is required for the UPE to be correctly reported on Schedule pg 2 Line 28 column (i) on a separate row for non-passive activity. Without material participation, UPE is reported on Form 8582 as a passive loss.

 

To correct this in TurboTax Online, log into TurboTax and open your return.

  1. Navigate to the Schedule K-1 topic and edit the related partnership K-1.
  2. On the page "Choose Type of Activity," check the box for "Business - Box 1." Even though your partnership did not report box 1 income on this K-1, checking this box will allow you to answer the next question.
  3. On the page "Did you participate?" answer Yes.
  4. Continue and enter nothing for Box 1.
  5. Review your entries for Boxes 4a and 14(A).
  6. Continue through the interview to review your answers and entries for UPE.
  7. Continue until you reach the K-1 summary page.
  8. Go to Tax Tools in the left column and choose Print Center.
  9. Proceed to view your return and check Schedule E pg2 to be sure the K-1 information appears on Line 28 in two separate lines as expected.
