How do I Report Form 1065 Box 13 Information?

Some items reported on your Schedule K-1 (Form 1065) may need to be entered directly into a specific form instead of the K-1 entry screen.  Below is a list of items that are not entered directly into Form 1065, Schedule K-1 within the program. Please find the specific item within Box 13 that is reported on your Form 1065.

Code C.  Noncash contributions (50%)

If property other than cash is contributed, and if the claimed deductions for one item or group of similar items of property exceeds $5,000, the partnership must give you a copy of Form 8283, Noncash Charitable Contributions, to attach to your tax return.  Do not deduct the amount shown on your Form 8283, as this is the partnership's contribution.  Instead, you will deduct the amount identified within Code C, subject to the 50% AGI limitation.

Code D.  Noncash contributions (30%)

Report this amount, subject to the 30% AGI limitation, on your Schedule A.  

Code E.  Capital gain property to a 50% organization

Report this amount, subject to the 30% AGI limitation, on line 12 of Schedule A.

Code F.  Capital gain property (20%)

Report this amount, subject to the 20% AGI limitation, on line 12 of Schedule A. The program does not support the option to add this to your individual tax return.

Code G.  Contributions (100%)

The partnership will report your share of qualified conservation contributions of property used in agriculture or livestock production. This contribution is not included in the amount reported in box 13 using Code C.  If you are a farmer or rancher, you qualify for a 100% AGI limitation for this contribution.  Otherwise, your deduction is subject to 50% AGI limitation. This amount gets reported on line 12 of the Schedule A (Non-cash Donations). 

The program  does not support the option to add this to your individual tax return.

Code J.  Section 59(e)(2) expenditures

On an attached statement, the partnership will show the type and the amount of qualified expenditures for which you may make a section 59(e) election.  The statement will also identify the property for which the expenditures were paid or incurred.  If there is more than one type of expenditure, the amount of each type will also be listed.

If you deduct these expenditures in full in the current year, they are treated as adjustments or tax preference items for purposes of alternative minimum tax.  However, you may elect to amortize these expenditures over the number of years in the applicable period rather than deduct the full amount in the current year.  If you make this election, these items are not treated as adjustments or tax preference items.
