I feel like I must have some box checked wrong somewhere because:
1. In TT Business for a 1065, if in step by step I say the partnership paid guaranteed payments, it tells me I'm supposed to manually put a deduction for the guaranteed payments as a general expense under rental income. However it seems to automatically put it on my schedule K1 as an ordinary business loss. Is the note wrong? Or should TT not be putting it on line 1?
2. What it's putting on my K1's are -(guaranteed payments) on line 1, +(guaranteed payments) on line 4, cancelling them out and saying the partners have 0 self-employment income. The self-employment earnings worksheet shows that as well, that they cancel out and there's no SE earnings. Which is not correct. My understanding is all guaranteed payments including that paid for partner's insurance is subject to SE tax.
Also, contributions to retirement plans seem to subtract off income. So should Roth contributions not be entered at all on the 1065 return?
Thanks!
