S Corp allowed loss

[Asia]

My S Corp shareholder has a prior year loss carry forward (12K). This year there is an allowable loss of $2000 due to increased basis from contributions and a profitable year. The allowable loss on the basis worksheet is not carrying to the K1. The K1 only shows the current year income.

Yeah, Intuit is severely negligent with Basis limitations in ProSeries.

Enter a second K-1 for the corporation, but rather than entering the corporation name, title it as "PYA".  And enter the allowable loss on that.

When you say enter a second K1, are you talking about doing that on the 1120S return which would produce a K1 titled PYA or a mythical K1 that doesn't actually exist that you enter on the 1040? The instructions you provided are for the 1040 but I'm working on an 1120S... Just want to clarify.

Thank you!

Losses Not Allowed in Prior Years Due to the Basis or At-Risk Rules

• Enter your total prior year unallowed losses that are now deductible on a separate line in column (i) of line 28. Do not combine these losses with, or net them against, any current year amounts from the partnership or S corporation.

• Enter “PYA” in column (a) of the same line.

On the 1040.  Basis limits are on the 1040, not on the 1120-S.

The prior year unallowed loss should still have been showing on that K-1, but it would have been disallowed on the 1040 due to Basis.
