Page 1, Line 4

Federal Form 1065 Page 1 Line 4 may display an incorrect value for ordinary income from other partnerships and fiduciaries.
Use one of the following solution paths to correct the amount.
  1. Go to
    Organizer
    Ordinary Income and Deductions
    Income Summary
    Income Summary
    4 Ordinary income (loss) from other partnerships and fiduciaries
    .
  2. Enter the amount along with your special allocation code.
  3. Do a full recompute, then print.
note
Schedule K Line 1 already takes Page 1 Line 23 into account, which includes Line 4. The 2 are linked.
If you want to populate Schedule K without Page 1 Line 4:
  1. Go to
    Organizer
    Schedule K
    Income Summary
    Income summary
    Line 1
    and override the value flowing to Schedule K Line 1.
  2. Then go to
    Organizer
    Activity Information
    Pass-Through Entity
    [NAME]
    Pass-Through Entity Activity
    and remove the entry sourcing to Page 1 Line 4. This lets Schedule K retain its total value while removing the pass-throughs interfering with Page 1.
Alternatively, override the value on the yellow worksheet.
If the issue persists after completing the earlier steps:
  1. Go to
    Tax Forms
    Federal
