Turbotax Business form 1065 gift of shares

Form 1065 K1 section L Parner's Capital. I gifted some shares to my child. How do I get section L to update the correct partner balance? I did change section J "share of profit...." , that does nothing about the capital account balances in section L. My capital balance should be reduced, and my child should have an equal increse. Thanks.

I am not in a Windows environment (and TT Business is only available for Windows), so I can't access the software, but I would recommend reviewing the input section for the K-1's.

In particular, the section for Box L "other increase/decrease" line.

On your K-1 you would have a decrease, and then an increase on your child's.

I would imagine there would be a space for an explanation, and I would just reflect "gifting of partnership interest"

Another option, would be that this gets adjusted in the partner's information section.

I will also see if another "Champ" is able to provide assistance by having access to the TT Business; @M-MTax

I use different software now for entities and only have the personal version of TurboTax for testing, etc.

However, I think the following from @Rick19744 might be the ticket here, if I recall correctly.

"Another option, would be that this gets adjusted in the partner's information section."

Thanks for the reply. I have tried to enter in the K-1 on the "other increse line, but it will not allow entry. Going to the K-1 worksheet for that partner, it only allows entry in the "basis" column, not the "capital" column. Entering anything in the basis column does not transfer over to the K1.

Found it! There is a right-click option on that cell to "override". I was then able to enter the amount in that field, and enter the description in additional information section.
