To enter basis carryovers:

Note:
- Current year income, gains, losses and deductions from the passthroughs are carried to the basis limitation worksheet automatically.
- If capital gains/ losses are listed in Income and Deductions> Gains and Losses> Section 2 - Other Capital Transactions and/or Section 4 - Business Property, Casualties, and Thefts, these will carry to the basis limitation worksheet, if they are attached to the specific passthrough activity.
To prevent capital gains/losses flowing from the above sections to the basis limitation worksheet:
- Select the Income/Deductions category.
- Select the Gains and Losses worksheets.
- Select Section 2 - Other Capital Transactions.
- Select Detail (located at the top left of the grid).
- In line 16 - Basis Code, input a code '2' for the gain or loss to not be included in the basis calculation. Or,
- Select Section 4 - Business Property, Casualties and Thefts.
- Select Detail (located at the top left of the grid).
- In line 14 - Basis Code, input a code '2' for the gain or loss to not be included in the basis calculation.
- Calculate the return.
To view the basis limitation worksheet:
- Select the Federal Government tab.
- Select K-1 Basis Limitation.
- Select Partnership Basis Worksheet. (If applicable.), or
- Select S Corporation Basis Worksheet. (If applicable.)
Notes:
Since the basis is calculated at the entity level, but the at-risk and passive limitations are calculated at the activity levels, K-1's entered with multiple activities are totaled together for the basis limitation and then separated back out for the purpose of the at-risk and passive activity calculations.
If losses exceed basis, carryovers are calculated and proformaed to the next year's tax return. The carryover report can be found by doing the following:
-
Select Federal Government tab.
-
Select Misc - Miscellaneous
-
Select C/O to 20XX - Tax Return Carryovers to 20XX.
