TP received a K-1 on a 1065.  It was made out to a self-directed IRA.  The IRA is a single member LLC.  Should this be reported on TP's 1040?

No. The IRA may need to file a 990-T.

The IRA had a loss.  So, does the 990t need to be filed?  I read if a loss just keep K-1's until the 990t is required.  Does that sound right to you?

When entering K-1 on 1040 and checking the box IRA I get an error.  It says not to report on the 1040, but I read an article that said if the IRA is a Single member to report on 1040.  Go figure...

That article is wrong. Income from a single member LLC that is disregarded for income tax purposes gets reported on the owner's tax return. Here the owner is the IRA.

Someone sophisticated enough to manage their PTP's in a self-directed IRA owning an LLC is surely bright enough to know some basic facts about tax returns.
