Distributions in excess of retained earnings

Help on the 1040 Tax Return

S Corp owner has distributions in excess of retained earnings.  The S Corp K-1 shows the total amount of distributions on line 16 D.  When I import the K-1 into the personal tax return, it does not appear to automatically account for or calculate the capital gain tax on the distributions in excess.  Is this a manual entry that I have to make?  If it is manual, what do I need to do on the 1040 return?

Thanks!

Distributions in excess of basis are taxable. Basis is probably different than retained earings.

Once you figure out the taxable amount, enter it on Sch D/Form 8949. Long-term if S Corp stock held long-term.
