General Information

Enter

 to suppress the calculation of partner basis for all partners, which will also prevent any basis information from being proforma'd to next year's version.
The application follows IRC section 705, which states that a partner's basis cannot decrease below zero. When distributions or changes in a partner's liabilities would decrease the basis below zero, a deemed distribution must be made to restore the basis to zero. The application automatically calculates and reports this adjustment on the Partner Basis Worksheet, Distribution in excess of partner basis line and on Schedule K-1, box 20, Other information. Enter
X
 to suppress the Schedule K-1 supplemental detail for distributions in excess of basis.

Increases and Decreases

UltraTax CS calculates the amount of the partner's contributed capital using data entered in the
Capital contributions: Property
 field in Screen M1M2 and data entered in the Transfers of Capital window in Partner Data Entry if the capital account adjustment is
Property contributions
. Enter an amount, including 0 (zero), to force an amount that is different from the calculated amount.
Use the statements to enter the description and amount for items that increase or decrease partner basis.
The application calculates the amount of the partner’s property distributions using data entered in the
Distributions subject to section 737
 field and the
Other property distributions
 field in Screen M1M2 and in the Transfers of Capital window in Partner Data Entry if the capital account adjustment is
Property distributions
. Enter an amount, including 0 (zero), to force an amount that is different from the calculated amount.
To determine the liabilities used in the calculation of the increase (decrease) in the partner's share of liabilities, the application uses the liabilities reported on Schedule K-1, Item K, Partner's share of liabilities at year end. The prior-year value is proforma'd from [[ut_py_yyyy]] the application. Enter an amount, including 0 (zero), in any of these fields to force the prior-year or current-year partnership liabilities. The application calculates the increase (decrease) in a partner's share of liabilities by subtracting the prior-year value from the current-year value of a partner's share of all nonrecourse, qualified nonrecourse, and recourse liabilities.
The application calculates the outside basis depreciation adjustment included in other deductions using assets entered in the asset module when the
Tracking partner's outside basis (1065 only)
 checkbox in the Other tab is marked and the asset has been specially allocated to partners. Enter an amount, including 0 (zero), to force an amount that is different from the calculated amount.

Suspended Losses

Enter the prior-year suspended loss for each item. The application proformas this information based on information on the prior year’s Partner Basis Worksheet, Page 2. To determine the current-year allowable losses and deductions, the application combines the prior-year suspended losses with the current-year losses and deductions from the return then compares that amount to the partner’s available basis. Available basis is applied first to nondeductible noncapital expenses. Any remaining basis is then applied to all other losses and deductions. The amount of allowed loss is calculated by multiplying the available basis by a fraction, where the numerator is equal to the total loss amount (current year plus suspended amount) for a deductible item and the denominator is the sum of the total loss amount for all deductible loss items.
