Question
Is a separate 1065 K-1 worksheet really required for each passthrough listed in Box 20, Code Z?
One of my clients has a 1065 K-1 with multiple pass through 25 different entities listed in the Box 20, Code Z notes. The Section D1 smart worksheet on the K-1 worksheet indicates that I need to add each of these pass throughs on a separate K-1 entry worksheet. Is this really the only way to account for this info, or can I list them elsewhere and just put the totals in the K-1 worksheet?
In addition, 5 of the 25 pass through entities also have both Ordinary Income in Box 1 and Rental Income in Box 2, which the K-1 worksheet also indicates would need to be split out on separate worksheets, so this is sounding like a monumental task and may cost the client more for my services than they'll save with a QBI deduction. This seems insane to me to have to generate 30 K-1 worksheets just to record a client's activity for 1 K-1, so I'm hoping someone out there can just point me to an easy solution that I am overlooking.
