It depends on the credit listed on the K-1. Just being on the K-1 itself does not make a credit refundable or nonrefundable, although it is highly unlikely that credits coming from a business like a partnership or S-Corporation would be refundable.
Just enter the information from your K-1 in TurboTax and the program will figure out if the credit is refundable or nonrefundable.
Please make sure you use the right K-1 entry form. There are actually three types of K-1s, depending on the type of entity creating the K-1: partnership, S-corporation and trust/estate. Lines and codes on the forms differ from each other.
To enter information from Schedule K-1, please follow these steps:
