Form 1120S Sch K-1 Line 17 Code V asterisk (*) and STMT

[Lavanna]

IRS instructions indicate that if an S Corporation has more than one trade or business to enter an asterisk (*) on each shareholder's Schedule K-1 next to Code V and enter STMT in the right column. I cannot figure out how to enter this in the Lacerte program. The IRS instructions specifically state not to enter the sum of the amounts from multiple businesses. I cannot get Lacerte to do anything other than that. Thank you

Hi Lavanna,

Currently, we don't have the functionality in the product for this scenario.  However, we are thinking of adding it in the future.

As a workaround you can consider adding a "dummy" incoming K-1 (screen 23) in order to split out the QBI elements on the outgoing Schedule K-1 statement.  If you do this, remember to reduce the QBI elements in the override fields at the bottom of the Other Schedule K Items screen (22).

Thank you,

Mike D'Avolio
