Turbotax Business, Hawaii Partner type for LLC

[Al124]

For ever since I can remember the Turboax Hawaii business module for partnerships picks the wrong partner type for an LLC when it fills out the Hawaii version (N-20) of the K-1 forms.  For example it picks "limited partner" instead of "other LLC member" and it picks "general partner" instead of "LLC member-manager".    I can fix this with two manual overrides per K-1 but it is time consuming with 20 or so members, plus it then triggers about 40 alerts in the final review process for the state return that I have to ignore.    Seems like the TurboTax program needs to pay attention to the the data entered in Form 1065 p1-4, Schedule B, Item one, where you indicate what type of entity you are.  If you check "Domestic Limited Liability Company", then the Hawaii module seems like it should be able to pick one of the  "LLC member" choices instead of one of the "partner" choices.  Does anyone know any other solution beside a bunch of overrides?

I would like to take a deeper look at this. However, I need a diagnostic file which is a copy of your tax return that has all of your personal information removed. You can send one to us by following the directions below:

TurboTax Online:

1. Sign into your online account.
2. Locate the Tax Tools on the left-hand side of the screen.
3. A drop-down will appear. Select Tools
4. On the pop-up screen, click on “Share my file with agent.”
5. This will generate a message that a diagnostic file gets sanitized and transmitted to us.
6. Please provide the Token Number that was generated in the response.

TurboTax Desktop/Download Versions:

1. Open your return.
2. Click the Online tab in the black bar across the top of TurboTax and select “Send Tax File to Agent” *
3. This will generate a message that a diagnostic copy will be created.  Click on OK and the tax file will be sanitized and transmitted to us.
4. Please provide the Token Number (including the dash) that was generated in the response.

*(If using a MAC, go to the menu at the top of the screen, select Help, then, “Send Tax File to Agent”)

Thanks for looking into this.  It would be great to not need the overrides!!
