Entering the Shareholders Schedule K-1 in the individual return in ProSeries

ProSeries does not support the calculation or track basis limitations in the 1040 formset however there are some tools available to help you enter and track this yourself.

1. Open the tax return.
2. Open the Schedule K-1 Worksheet S-Corporations.
3. Scroll down to Part III Shareholder's Share of Current Year Income, Deductions, Credits, or Other Items.
4. Determine which line the basis limitation applies to Ordinary Business Income (loss), Net rental real estate income (loss), or Other net rental income (loss).
5. Right-click on the line and choose Supporting Statements.
6. Enter a description on the first line and the original loss as a negative number.
7. Enter a description and a positive adjustment amount to reflect the basis limitation.
8. Click Close.

Note: To track the Basis Loss limitations through the years, create a Miscellaneous Statement and enter the information that needs to be tracked.

When you have more than one type of activity for the Schedule K-1 you can only enter one activity type per K-1. If you try to enter more then one you will receive the following error:

Box 2 has an amount as does either box 1 or 3. Use separate K-1 Worksheets to report entries on more than one of boxes 1 through 3. Use "delete" to remove the entry.

To resolve this error:

1. Create one K-1 Worksheet per activity type needed. If you have values on lines 1, 2 and 3 you would need 3 Schedule K-1 Worksheets.
2. Duplicate the information from Part 1 of the Schedule K-1.
3. Enter the income (loss) for this activity on line 1, 2 or 3 as well as any associated entries from lines 4-17.
