I have a Schedule K-1 from an energy company with a large loss in box 1 and a less than $20K gain in box 3. I entered these as separate K-1 forms in Turbo Tax. Although the overall outcome for the business is a large loss, recording these separately makes me pay tax on the gain in box 3. As a result I think I am paying about $5K in taxes more than I should because I don't actually have a gain.
Am I mistaken that the gain in box 3 should be offset by the larger loss in box 1 resulting in an overall loss with no resulting tax payment?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, losses in Box 1 can't be used to offset gains in Box 2 or 3. Your box 1 loss will be suspended. You'' get to use it on your taxes when you either sell the partnership, or have box 1 income.
