Negative LLC ending capital account

[Mario2025]

Hello,

I am currently working on the 2024 tax report for LLC. I noticed that one of the partnership's basis statements shows a negative amount after deducting the current year's net loss, as reflected in Schedule K-1. Is this normal, or do I need to make adjustments elsewhere to ensure the ending capital account does not fall below zero? Thank you.

It would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2024" file to test this issue further.

If you would be willing to send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information, please follow these instructions: 

In TurboTax for Desktop, open your return and go to Online in the TurboTax header. (On a Mac computer, choose Share or Help.)

1. Choose Send Tax File to Agent.
2. You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is.  Click Send on this screen and wait for the Token number to appear.
3. Reply to this thread with a screenshot of your Token number (this avoids Community filters for numbers with a dash) and tag (@) the Expert requesting the token from you.
4. Please include any States that are part of your return - this is VERY important.

We will then be able to see the same experience you are having. If we are able to determine the cause, we'll reply here and provide you with a resolution.
