What Is in the K-1 - Part I, II and III

 
Filling out the K-1 starts out pretty simple. You need to fill in the identifying information of the partnership, the partnership ID number, where the partnership return was filed, whether or not the partnership is publicly traded, etc. In this 37-minute video our speaker, Carolyn Turnbull, CPA, MST, CGMA, reviews the three parts of the K-1. Part I - Publicly Traded Partnerships, also called MLP (master limited partnerships). This is not a great investment for retirement (e.g., IRAs) because single layer of tax still creates flow‐through phantom income issues. Self‐directed IRAs in particular create significant compliance issues. Part II is for information about the partner. Don’t underestimate the importance of this section! Watch out for self-directed IRAs (SDIRA) that can raise prohibited transaction issues (IRC § 4975). Part III is for the partner’s share of current year income, deductions, credits, and other items.
