Form K-1 for S-Corps

[cliff]

How do I make Form K-1 page 2 to print?

[sjrcpa]

The page(s) with all the codes that used to be page 2 of the K-1?

Sounds like one of last year’s more popular questions 

[joshuabarksatlcs]

So, what was last year's more popular answer??

[abctax55]

More popular answer... was that the IRS changed things..& that page of codes is buried deep in the K-1 instructions

[cliff]

So, has anyone figured out a way to get K-1 page 2 (with the code explanation) to print with the K-1?

[cliff]

Yes, page 2 of the K-1 with explanation of the codes on page 1

[IRonMaN]

You can't print something that doesn't exist.

@cliff 

You are missing the point that " Page 2 " no longer exists.   THAT info is now buried in the instructions.  I guess you can go thru them & try to figure out how to print just that page as an attachment to the K-1.

Jeff - made me think of "you can't always get what you want".

Song/artist - without googling 🙂

Re: Page 2 K-1 code explanation no longer available: Its just odd that Lacerte no longer has a solution for this information that pass-thru clients will often need.  And I receive K-1s that have been prepared by others that do have page 2 attached.

Sarcasm is not a solution.  Lacerte should figure out a solution.

"Sarcasm is not a solution"

But it helps when there isn't a solution.😀

[IRonMaN]

But why is it so important to print that anyway?  Very few folks prepare their own return manually.  For folks using tax software it is pretty much a fill in the matching box.  So why waste another page of paper that is pretty much useless?

You can modify the K-1 letter to say that the codes are in the Shareholder's Instructions for K-1s.

You can give them the link to Shareholder's Instructions for K-1s.

You can give them the Shareholder's Instructions for K-1s with their K-1s.

"...You can give them the Shareholder's Instructions for K-1s with their K-1s."

That's what I do for the PDF'd K-1 packages; I tell them what page to look for, and I warn them about printing the whole dam - n - ed (censors...) thing out.

Now that's thinking of a "solution"....thank you.

Hey, since I am a member of the pot-calling-the-kettle-black club, can I get waived into the pot stirrer club?

[IRonMaN]

You already have a pot so you are in.
