How to flow tax withholding to the K-1 in a final year 1041 in Lacerte

Tax withholding from Form 1099 flows to line 24e of the Form 1041. If you want this amount to be distributed to the beneficiary's K1, follow these steps: 

An option must be set to indicate to the program that credits should flow to the beneficiary rather than remaining in the fiduciary.

To make the change for all clients: 

1. From the Settings menu, select Options.
2. Select the tab labeled Tax Return.
3. Select the option labeled K-1 Distributions from the left navigation panel.
4. Set the drop-down field labeled Credits to Prorate between Beneficiary/Fiduciary. 

 To make the change for a single client only: 

1. Navigate to Screen 9 - Schedule K-1 Distribution Options.
2. Locate the field labeled Credits: 1=in fiduciary, 2=prorate to beneficiary [O], and input a 2.
   • Lacerte will use the beneficiary allocation percentage to distribute to the beneficiaries.
3. Navigate to Screen 43 - Schedule K-1 Overrides/Misc.
4. Select the section labeled Percentage Overrides located in the lower portion of the left navigation panel.
5. Enter a percentage amount in the field labeled Tax credits (xxx.xxxx) (code 504). 
6. Make sure to include the correct percentage for each beneficiary.
7. The figure will then show on line 13b of the K-1.
