Schedule M-1 and Schedule M-2 considerations

ProConnect Tax doesn't automatically adjust the difference between item cost/basis and item fair market value (FMV).

The FMV appears on Schedule K and flows through Schedule M-1 and Schedule M-2 into the "Partner Capital Accounts" balance sheet.

If the contributed item was carried on the books at cost, make a manual M-1 or M-2 adjustment to make Schedule M-1, Line 1 conform to "Book income," or Schedule M-2, Line 9 conform to "Ending Capital Accounts."
