I have a K1 with 754 depreciaton on line 20 but it is missing from line 13, how do I enter this?

Box 13 has no entry for 754 depreciation, but box 20 has an item that lists an amount identified as 754 depreciation.  I'm unsure how to enter this amount.  

Business & farm

Technically this should have been reflected on your K-1 line 13 Code W and then identified as a Section 754 adjustment.  

Not the end of the world.  You can do one of two things:

  1. Using the TT input screens enter it as noted above as if it were reflected this way on your K-1, or
  2. Net the Section 754 amount with your line 1 amount.
Doubt you will receive any kind of a notice.  If you do, then just respond that the partnership reported this amount in box 20, enclose a copy of your K-1.  Send your response certified mail return receipt requested.
