FrequentlyAsked Questions
What is Schedule K-1 income?
Schedule K-1 reports a partner’s or beneficiary’s share of income, losses, deductions, and credits from pass-through entities like partnerships, S corps, or trusts.
Why is K-1 income hard to file on your own?
K-1s often involve passive income, basis tracking, loss limits, capital gains, and multi-entity coordination. Missing a detail can lead to IRS penalties.
How is K-1 income taxed?
K-1 income is taxed on your personal return—based on the type of income passed through (e.g., interest, dividends, capital gains, rental income, etc.). The entity itself isn’t taxed.
What happens if I leave out a K-1?
The IRS receives copies of all K-1s. If you omit one, you risk audits, late fees, and amended returns. Extensions are common if you’re still waiting for a K-1.
Do I need a CPA for K-1s?
If you have multiple K-1s, real estate investments, or complex partnership interests, hiring a CPA or EA experienced in K-1 income is strongly recommended.
