Assuming you are preparing Form 1065 for a Partnership and not Form 1041 for a trust (which does not report capital balances), you can enter or revise capital accounts for each partner in Forms Mode.

 

  1. Open the return and click the Forms icon in the TurboTax header.
  2. Look for Sch K-1 Wks in the left column; click on the name to open the form in the large window.
  3. Under the section Enter Partner Information Below look for two columns for "Capital" and "Basis."
  4. Enter the allocated beginning capital balance on the "Beg of year (tax basis)" line. You may change any numbers in a blue or green font. Black numbers are calculated and cannot be changed.
  5. To move to the next partner, use the grey bar on the right margin of the form.
  6. When you're finished, click Step-by-Step in the header to return to the main screens.
