One of my clients received a K-1 form with a loss. His combined income totals $200k for the year. Can he still claim a loss on his 1040 tax return or should i just enter the K-1 for informational purposes and he wont be getting any deduction for this? thank you

If the taxpayer as enough Basis, yes, it will be deductible.  There isn't an income limitation to claim an ordinary loss.

I'm sure at some point in your careers you did not know this neither, and I never said I've been doing taxes for long. This is actually my first time working with a K-1 if you should know.

People would rather take the time to offend others rather than help...that;s great!!

@pjjjp You need a mentor to help you prepare. There are still items that I come across after 30 years I am unfamiliar with....but I research and thankfully I have friends in the business who I can lean on in times of need. I looked at your questions and they are fairly basic. These are things you should know already. Good luck!
