Level 10

Business & farm

Did you have this K-1 in prior years? If so did it have losses? Did you use TT for that? If so entering the file K-1 in a total disposition will free up an prior suspended passive activity losses. Ask if you have that but need help understanding it. That can be quite complicated.

 

In any case, this year as you go through the K-1 interview you just tell TT the business ended.  (The K-1 "final" box should be checked.)

 

You have a few choices as you'll see below. I'm not sure how much it matters which you choose (e.g. sold or liquidated). Things will work out if you enter it as a sale in which you got $0 (or whatever the business did distribute to you at the end.)

 

So just enter your purchase info and zero for you proceeds. Then verify that you see the loss shows up on Schedule D line 10 (or 5 if short term).

 

If you have any entries in the various K-1 boxes (especially box 11) you may need to adjust your basis for those. (See if they flow to other areas of your return). Ask again if that is the case and provide details.

 

Here are some screenshots of the interview process:
