"flowing to M-1 line 5a as nontaxable instead of taxable gain flowing to K-1"

Not quite.

M-1 Line 5a is income recorded on books not included on Sch K Line 1 - 10.

Gain on assets where 179 was used does not appear on hose lines.

It gets passed through separately to the shareholders as a statement.

The more I know, the more I don't know.

Yes, I agree but that is not what the software is doing and I do not know why.

It seems wrong, but it is supposed to be on the M-1, because it goes directly to the shareholder's K-1 box 17K. So the amount is not on Schedule K per se. You should find a report attached with the shareholder's K-1 showing the Section 179 taken. That will be reported on the 1040.
