Where do I enter self-employment for box 14?

The program can generate three different types of self-employment earnings for Schedule K-1, line 14.

Box 14, Code A

Box 14, Code A relates to net earnings from self-employment and is automatically calculated for anyone indicated as a General Partner/LLC Manager on the Partner Information screen.

The Schedule K-1 instructions state that you should enter input related to net earnings from self-employment for each general partner.

Box 14, Code B

Box 14, Code B reports gross farming and fishing income and is automatically calculated, but an adjustment entry is available. Partners (whether limited or general) need this amount to figure their net earnings from self-employment and prepare their individual returns.

  1. Go to Screen 22, Other Schedule K Items
  2. Scroll down to the Self-Employment section.
  3. Enter a positive or negative amount in Gross farming or fishing Income [A]

  2. Scroll down to the Self-Employment section.
  3. Enter the amount in Gross Nonfarm Income.

For tax year 2020, the IRS introduced new partnership box 16 codes AA–AI. These codes report gross receipts and base erosion tax benefits under Regulations 1.59A-7(e)(2) (Base Erosion Tax 8991).

Business entity partners (corporations, LLCs, and partnerships) will generate multiple codes for current year and prior year gross receipts, as well as base erosion tax information. These items will populate automatically if the Partner is a Partnership, LLC, or Corporation, and can't be suppressed.

These items are for informational purposes to help the K-1 recipient complete their tax return, and they don't mean that any foreign income or activity is present on the partnership's return.

The program automatically enters these amounts based on the Form 1065 Schedule K-1 instructions. They can be specially allocated to the partners.

  1. Go to Screen 22, Other Schedule K Items.
  2. Scroll to the Foreign Transactions section.

To override these amounts for a specific partner:

  1. Go to Screen 32.1, Schedule K-1 Misc.
  2. Scroll down to the Gross Receipts per Regulations 1.59A-7(e)(2)[O] (Partnership, Corp, or LLC Partners Only) section.
