I am a LP of a rental property partnership LLC.
My Schedule K-1 has Line 13 with Code K and so I got the message "You entered a value in Box 13 for Code K - Excess business interest expense. The program currently does not support Form 8990 - Limitation on Business Interest Expense Under Section 163(j). You may need to print and complete a copy of Form 8990 and attach it to your return."
However, when I completed everything and ready to File, it says "We recommend e-filing because it's quick and easy."
I downloaded the returns and reviewed and I see Form 8582 with Line 2 information from K-1. Can I go ahead and do e-filing as the system seems to be allowing? Or do I need to print it and attach Form 8990 to reflect Line 13 and mail the forms? Note that Line 13 K is about $1900.
Yes, you will need to print, sign and mail your entire return in order to include Form 8990.
Thank you @PatriciaV for the response.
Can I do efiling and mail the Form 8990 separately?
Also, is there an equivalent form for California? If not, can I still do efiling for the State?
Unfortunately, Form 8990 must be mailed with your complete federal tax return. They cannot be submitted separately. However, you should be able to e-file your state return. (There is no CA equivalent form.)
I am having this issue as well, however, I also discovered through some other posts (e.g. https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/e-file-state-return-federal/L4QgQa0Vi_US_en_US) that a state return cannot be eFiled if you do not eFile the federal return first.
This seems to be a significant issue since I'm filing a New York state return where, according to NYS regulations, if you use tax preparation software like TurboTax to prepare your return you must eFile it. How am I supposed to handle this?
On a related note: Despite TurboTax telling me (during the K-1 form entry) that I would need to print out form 8990 and manually file my federal return, it is now recommending to me during the filing step that I eFile.
