Need help determining where to enter the 'expense' of the owner draw as a distribution? Also, how to create the distribution as personal income on 1040...
Currently, the IRS laws says that the distribution should be received on a schedule K which is not in TT Home and Business. Turbo Tax Business can produce the schedule K, but is not for a single member LLC, and that I need to use TT Home and Business.
Help...!!!
When you operate a single member LLC (considered a Disregarded Entity by the IRS), there isn’t a difference between you and the LLC for tax purposes. The profits or losses generated by the LLC are reported on the Schedule C of your personal tax return and your net income (when you have a profit) is considered your owner draw. There is no Schedule K-1 needed.
If your LLC files as a corporation, you should have filed Form 8832 to classify as a corporation and you will file Form 1120 or 1120S. You can create this tax return in TurboTax Business, and you will be able to create a Schedule K-1 for yourself.
