How does a partnership limit losses on a K-1 it received from another partnership. 


Partnership A has a 23% interest in Partnership X; 

Partnership X gives Partnership A a K-1 for a loss, with a capital account reduction equivalent to the loss. The loss ought to be limited since the A's basis in X is essentially 0. How do I limit it in the software for 1065's.

I believe in ProSeries you limit it by entering only the allowable loss. Then keep a side schedule of the loss in excess of basis for use in future years.

You do not limit loss at partnership (1065) level.  That is done by the partners when they file.  If you are sure they have no basis, then you can attach a note to K1's that partner's basis may not be sufficient for this years loss.
