RE: TurboTax Desktop Home and Business 2025.

This K-1 has no Name, this field is blank.  The only fields pre-entered are in Part 2, i.e. Taxpayer, my SS#, my address, H1 "Domestic Partner, I2 "Individual" and "All investment is at risk. If I delete these entries, they are immediately repopulated. " The error message wants me to enter Part 1 Line B and Part 2 Line G.  I have nothing to enter.

 

I have never explicitly entered a K-1 specifically, yet it recurs every year.  When i delete it from the list in Forms Mode, it appears again the next time I open turbo tax.  Sometimes I am denied online filing and have to print and submit paper returns. 

 

Normally, I work only with forms.  An earlier recommendation to open the form in Step by Step and update and delete it does not work; I don't see these options, i.e. "Update" or "Delete," to select anywhere in the step by step procedure. There is Edit, but no delete. Instead it asks me to enter a partnership name!?

If the K-1 worksheet continues to appear after you delete it from your forms list in TurboTax Desktop, there may be information linked to that worksheet. Be sure you are first deleting any other related forms that appear below "K-1 Partner" or "K-1 S-Corp":

  • K1P Addl Info
  • Suppl Exp
  • Form 7203

Your final option may be to report this as a final K-1:

 

Prior Year:

If you still have TurboTax Desktop for 2024 installed and have your 2024 tax file, complete the necessary fields on the phantom K-1 and mark it as a "Final K-1." This should remove the main K-1 and any related forms from your return when you transfer it to the current tax year.

 

This Year:

If changing 2024 doesn't fix the issue or you would rather not make that change, mark the K-1 final in the current tax year so it's removed for next year.
