Form 1065 Schedule K 1 – for determining shares of partnership profits or losses
This post from PDFfiller takes a look at another important one for partnerships – Form 1065 Schedule K 1.
What is the purpose of Form 1065 Schedule K 1?
A partnership uses the 1065 Schedule K-1 to report each member’s share of the partnership’s income, deductions, credits, etc.
Who needs to file the Form?
There are three different 1065 Schedule K-1 forms. The different forms are associated with different types of entities. For example, there is a Schedule K-1 form for business partnerships (Schedule K-1, Form 1065), S-Corporations (Schedule K-1, Form 1120-S), and Trust and Estate Beneficiaries (Schedule K-I, Form 1041). When preparing the Schedule K-1, be sure that you are preparing the form associated with the entity type that you are dealing with.
How is the Form Completed?
The Form 1065Schedule K 1 is 2 pages. Page one of the form is divided into three parts:
• Part I – Information About The Partnership
• Part II – Information about The Partner
• Part III – Partner’s Share of Current Year Income, Deductions, Credits and Other Items.
Page 2 of the form identifies the different codes that could be used on the form.
While the K-1s for the various entities are slightly different, all of the K1s provide detailed information relating to income, deductions, or losses attributable to the recipient of the form.
