This is the first time I've come across this situation so I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

Client (2 member LLC but P&L is only allocated to one of the partners).  The client wants to make a 2019 SEP contribution.  What are the journal entries and how/where do I enter it in Lacerte?

Do I debit Distributions and credit SEP Payable or do I debit a Retirement Contribution-SEP expense account?  If through distributions I would add a note to the K-1 with the amount of the SEP Contribution so the taxpayer can report the amount on his 1040, correct?  If the later is correct, do I enter the expense in the Other Sch K screen under Other Deductions, code R? And the SEP payable amount should be included in Share of Liabilities screen NR debt, correct?

Thank you!!
