  1. In the
    Organizer
    , select
    Partner Information
    , then the
    Partner by Partner Data
     folder.
  2. Make sure there's at least 1 partner added here for the K-1s to print.
  3. Do a full recompute, then print the return.
If the schedule isn't printing, make sure it isn't suppressed:
  1. In the
    Organizer
    , select
    General Information
    , then the
    Return and Print Options
     folder.
  2. Go to the
    Sch K, K-1 and Activity Schedule
     tab.
  3. In the
    Print or Suppress
     section, make sure the
    Print for Schedule K-1, partner activity schedules, and Schedule K-3
     checkbox is marked.
  4. Do a full recompute, then print the return.
Why is Schedule K-1 blank for all partners?
To transfer the partnership income and deductions items from the Schedule K to each partner's Schedule K-1, partner allocations need to be enabled under the
Organizer
Partner Allocations Disabled
 screen. Select the checkbox and perform a
Full Recompute
.
How can Schedule K-1, line 20a be specially allocated?
GoSystem Tax automatically applies the same allocation ratios used for Investment Income included in
Lines 5
6a
7
11
 and Investment Expenses included in
Line 13d
 to the allocation of
Line 20a
 and
Line 20b
. It also automatically transfers the total amount entered on
Lines 5
6a
7
11
 to
Line 20a
 and transfers deductions related to Portfolio Income amount entered on
Line 13d
 to
Line 20b
.
Because of this, additional entries on
Line 20a
 and/or
Line 20b
 for the amounts or the allocation codes are not necessary. Amounts or allocation codes entered on these lines could cause over-allocation on
Line 20a
 and/or
Line 20b
.
To review special allocations, go to
Organizer
Sch K
Other Information
Other Items
 tab. The link for
Allocation Note
 next to
20a
 or
20b
 contains more information.

Common Partner Data
Sch K-1 Print Options
 tab and enter
Various
 in the

How can Schedule K-1 aggregation be used in a 1065 return?
Partner Schedules K-1 created using a third-party software can be aggregated into the XML file and thereby included as part of the complete e-filed return. This process takes the parts of the XML file containing Schedules K-1 and merges them with the final XML file that is submitted. The third-party file containing the K-1s must have an
.XML
 extension.
To Attach the Third Party XML File:
  1. From within a return, navigate to
    Organizer
    Federal E-file
    Attachments
    Summary
     and click the
    Attach PDF
     button.
  2. In the
    Electronic Filing Attachments
     window, select
    Add
    . Select
    Federal K-1 Aggregation
     as the
    Attachment Jurisdiction
    . State K-1 Aggregation options are also available.
  3. Select
    Next
     and browse to the applicable K-1 XML file. Repeat this process for each K-1 file to be included and click
    Done
     when finished attaching files.
  4. Perform a full recompute to finish attaching the file(s).
  5. Navigate to
    Organizer
    Federal E-file
    Attachments
    K-1 Aggregation
    K-1 Aggregation
    . Each K-1 file attached will be displayed.
  6. Press the
    Validate K-1 XML File
     button to ensure the K-1 files have no validation errors. The merge process cannot be completed if validation errors are identified in the K-1 aggregation file. If errors exist, the third-party software should be used for correcting these errors and re-creating the XML file.
  7. If the K-1 aggregation file is meant to be used in place of the GoSystem Tax K-1s, navigate to
    Organizer
    General Information
    Return and Print Options
    Sch K, K-1 and Activity Schedules
     tab and select
    Suppress
     for
    Schedule K-1 and partner activity schedules
    .
  8. Once the file is attached and validated, complete the remaining steps in the
    Federal E-file
     folder.
  9. When reviewing the e-file viewer, K-1s attached using the K-1 aggregation process will be identified with
    vdoc
     in the document ID.
K-1 Aggregation is available for State returns which are supported in e-file. Navigate to
