How to enter Guaranteed Payments Not Subject to Self-Employment Tax in the Partnership Module
Lacerte defaults Guaranteed Payments as derived from a trade or business as defined in section 1402(c). Per the form instructions, guaranteed payments from a trade or business should be included in Self-employment income on line 14a.
However, if the partnership's guaranteed payments are not derived from a trade or business as defined in section 1402(c) and you would like to remove the amount from line 14a:
- Go to Screen 22, Other Schedule K Items.
- Scroll down to the Self-Employment section.
- Enter an amount or a -1 (if none) in, Net earnings from self-employment [O].
