The IRS added code 19D this year which represents only the decrease to a partner / member's share of liabilities.    This of course was already disclosed, but now the IRS wants a code.   Lacerte is taking this amount and lower the K-1 capital account.    I don't believe this is accurate as the capital on the K-1 represents equity / capital (and not basis which would include debt).    I think code 19D should be informational and not flow to schedule M-2 or the Schedule K-1s.   Am I off base or missing something?

Either I missed it, or it was just added, but in "Other Schedule K Items" there is now a spot to enter this under distributions that flows to the K-1s, but doesn't impact the M-2 or capital.  So this resolved my concerns.

Thank you for this tip as we were trying to figure this out as well. But when we use this alternative input we are getting a weird diagnostic 10425 about the foreign country field probably because this is a new input box and that code was used somewhere else in prior years. Anyone else see this? Will probably just ignore diagnostics but maybe someone found a solution?
