SOLVEDby Intuit66Updated February 05, 2024

This article will help you enter a K-1 from a partnership into the 1040 return in ProSeries.

What's new for Schedule K-1 for tax year 2023:

For tax year 2023 the IRS has added multiple new codes to the Schedule K-1. Most changes involve new codes for Other Income, Other Deductions, Other Credits and Other Information to provide additional details for when the 1040 is completed. To see the Partnership codes click here, to see the S-Corporation codes click here and scroll down to the code lists on the last pages of the instructions.

.

  1. Open the Individual return.
  2. Press F6 to bring up Open Forms.
  3. Type P to highlight the K-1 Partner.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Select the existing K-1 and click Select or enter the partnership name and click Create.

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 Schedule K-1 Worksheet Partnerships.
  2. Scroll down to Part III Shareholder's Share of Current Year Income, Deductions, Credits, or Other Items.

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:
