Final IRA/SEP/KEOGH K-1 with K-3 box checked

Hello,

I have a final K-1 for a IRA/SEP/KEOUGH with the K-3 box checked.  I have never ran into this.

If I enter the K-1 as reported (all zero's but states K-3 is attached) It states I need to enter K-3 information.  I read that I would need to request the K-3 and many times it is not required to be reported. It also asks to report disposition of partnership interest.

The K-1 also has a box checked that the decrease is due to a sale but I am not sure what decrease they are referring to.  

The only thing reported on the K-1 is the partners capital account analysis showing the amount contributed for the year and the withdrawal/distribution which is the same as amount contributed.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

You do not have to report a K1 from a retirement unless it has UTBI in box 20 code V, then youy report it on form 990 using the EIN of the partnership if the amount is over $1000 ( TOTAL FOR ALL K1'S IF MORE THAN ONE)

@Terry53029  I don't think you use the EIN of the partnership on the 990T.

@msslancer And I think the IRA Custodian/Trustee is responsible for filing the 990T

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Has this IRA/etc K-1 been previously reported on your client's F 1040? 

If so, there's a problem.  And the probable deadline for correcting it for a 2022 return may be fast approaching.

No, this client never had a K-1 so this is his first and marked "final"

The key here is IRA/SEP/Keogh. Different legal entity/taxpayer than your individual client.
