Item F

Enter the name, address, city, state, and ZIP code for the partner entered in Item E.

Mark the appropriate item to determine the type of partner is the person you entered in Item E. You may select:

Name

Enter the name of the partner.

Item I1

Enter the partner’s type of entity.

Item I2

Mark the appropriate box to determine if this partner is a retirement plan (IRA/SEP/Keogh). Otherwise, leave it blank.

Item J

Enter the partner’s share of profit, loss, and capital. This item has two columns, namely the Beginning and Ending. Enter the appropriate amounts on these columns.

The amounts entered in this item are based on the partnership agreement. If the interest commenced after the beginning of the tax year of the partnership, the percentages that existed immediately after admission will be entered in the Beginning column.

But if your interest was terminated before the end of the tax year of the partnership, then the percentages that existed before it ended will be entered in the Ending column.

Check the appropriate box to determine if the decrease is due to the sale or exchange of partnership interest.

This portion may determine that you realized a gain or loss on the transfer or disposition of your interest.

Item K

Enter the partner’s share of liabilities in the following:

• Nonrecourse
• Qualified nonrecourse financing
• Recourse

Use the total of the three amounts you entered to determine the adjusted basis of your partnership interest. Also take note that both you, as a partner, and the partnership must meet the qualified nonrecourse rules on this debt before including the amount shown next to the “Qualified nonrecourse financing” in your at-risk computation.

Check the appropriate box to determine if Item K includes liability amounts from lower-tier partnerships.

This item should show the share existed immediately before the total disposition if you terminated your interest in the partnership during the tax year.

Item L - Partner’s Capital Account Analysis

Enter the partner’s capital account of the following:

• Beginning capital account
• Capital contributed during the year
• Current year net income (loss)
• Other increase (decrease)
• Withdrawals and distributions
• Ending capital account

For the other increase line, attach an explanation for the said increase.

Your ending capital account as reported may not be the same as the adjusted tax basis in your partnership interest, as a partner’s adjusted tax basis in its partnership interest includes the partner’s share of partnership liabilities.

Item M

Mark “Yes” to determine if the partner contributed property with a built-in gain (loss). If you marked “Yes,” attach a statement. Otherwise, mark “No.”

Item N

Enter the partner’s share of net unrecognized section 704(c) Gain or (Loss). Enter the amounts in the Beginning and Ending lines.

According to the Form 1065 Schedule K 1 instructions, a partner will have allocated unrecognized section 704(c) gain or loss if:

• The partner contributed property with a fair market value more than adjusted tax basis or built-in gain property;

How to file Schedule K-1 (Form 1065)?

Schedule K 1 Form 1065 should not be filed with your tax return unless you are required to submit it. The partnership files the Schedule K-1 Form 1065 with the IRS. Your Schedule K-1 may only show the last four digits of your identifying number of your SSN for your protection. But the partnership has reported your complete identifying number to the IRS.
