What do you mean by "self charged interest"? What kind of K-1? It matters. 1065 K-1? 1120-S K-1? 1041 K-1?
He started another thread ... https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/427514
Please answer our questions so we can help ... are you trying to file the personal return ? If so you cannot adjust the K1 ... you must have the company that issued the K1 correct that form to have the correct info on it... but we still don't know what kind of company it is and what it is for ... please respond to this thread and not open new ones as that gets confusing.
Obviously, I have no insight as to how this situation came about, exactly, but it is virtually irrelevant since any adjustment would have to be made in Forms Mode directly on Form 8960 and the original poster is, from the profile, using an online version of TurboTax (in which the adjustment is not supported).

Based on the limited facts, I am assuming that you loaned the S corporation money and there is a note tied to the loan that has a stated or variable interest rate.
In addition, I am assuming that you have interest income being reported on your K-1. In that case, you now have what is known as self-charged interest. The passive activity regulations allow a taxpayer to reclassify some or all of this interest income as passive income. There are rules that dictate when you can do this and how much can be reclassified. This forum is unfortunately not set up to provide the necessary guidance to provide much more assistance as it would require too much information. If you are wanting to attempt to handle this your self or want a better understanding, you need to look at regulation 1.469-7.
However, while not having many facts, if you are subject to the NIT I would recommend that you have a tax professional provide assistance in preparing your tax return.
Additionally, even if you reclassify the self-charged interest as noted above, you are still dealing with a passive activity which is subject to the NIT if you exceed the floor. All you are doing here is really offsetting the interest income and the interest expense which you would get to either way.
I qualify under 1.469-7 to recharacterize self charged interest income as passive activity income. My problem is figuring how to enter it on Turbo Tax for 2019.
The 2019 version of the PDF shared by Community Champ tagteam (earlier in this thread) continues to report (on pages 6 and 9 of the PDF at this link) that TurboTax does not support reporting self-charged interest income or expense related to a passive activity as either passive activity gross income or passive activity deduction. The PDF directs users to consult the instructions for Schedule K-1.
These links may help provide insight into how you can report the recharacterization using the Forms mode of TurboTax Download/CD version:

Thank you for the information. Using the desktop Premier version, it is not possible to override line entries on Form 8582. Do you have another suggestion?
Making the adjustment in Forms mode on the "source" Schedule K-1 that populates the Form 8582, may be possible.
By "source" do you mean as if coming off a K-1? That's what I'm trying to create, up, a K-1 sourced entry to generate the desired result.
Still have questions?
