"Fantastic team at Anomaly - Been a client for years and this is the ONLY place where you get CPA brainpower and legal advice IN ONE PLACE.   Before working with Anomaly about something complex, the response from my accountant was "speak to your attorney", who in turn would say "we should hop onto a call with your CPA".  
Anomaly brings it all together - like it should be!!!
Brilliant team and terrific insights."

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.

What Does a K-1 Income Accountant Help With?

These accountants specialize in tax strategies and filing support for clients who receive one or more K-1s. That includes:
Accurate K-1 Reporting: Partnership (1065), S corp (1120S), and trust/estate (1041) income.

Basis & At-Risk Tracking: So you only deduct losses you’re actually eligible for.

Passive Activity Loss Rules: Navigate §469 limitations and real estate PALs.

Real Estate Syndication Tax Strategy: Depreciation, capital accounts, and timing exits.

Foreign or Complex Investments: Including foreign tax credits, PFICs, and FATCA forms.

Multi-Entity Coordination: Integrating your K-1s with W-2s, 1099s, and other income streams.

Quarterly Tax Estimates & Planning: Avoid underpayment penalties.

These aren’t basic tax preparers. They’re experts in K-1 income strategy—especially for real estate investors, private equity LPs, and trust beneficiaries.

Not sure who’s right for you with your K1 partnership income? Answer a few quick questions, and we’ll introduce you to someone who fits.
