Schedule K-1 Box 17 code N: Deferred Obligation

When filling out my K-1, Box 17 Code N, Turbo Tax displays the following screen:

 

Follow these instructions to enter $$$$ shown as Code N Box 17 of the XXXX Schedule K-1

1.  Read the instructions on K-1

2.  Select Tax Tools in the toolbar.  Next, select Tools, then Topic Search.  Enter the specific topic included in your K-1 instructions in the search field

3.  Select other taxes and enter $$$$ in the other tax field.  Then select "Continue"

4.  In the next screen, titled Describe the Other Tax, enter 453A(c) in the field.  We'll take care of the rest.

 

I have a deferred obligation from the sale of a company that has not been paid yet.  Topic Search does not have any topic for "deferred obligation" or "453A(c)".

 

The problem is that I cannot locate the screen in step #3 that has "other taxes" to enter the dollar amount.  There is no screen where I can enter "453A(c)" as indicated in step #4.  I'm stuck at this point and cannot go further.

How do I locate the proper screen to account for this?  Following the on-screen instructions doesn't lead me to the proper screen that I need.

 

Thanks!!

Hi @bjmatusz !

 

Please go to the magnifying class and search "other taxes" and select "Jump to other taxes" .

 
 

 You should see the Section 453A(c) box about 3/4 of the way down.

 

Hope this helps!

Cindy
