Schedule K-1 Item L current year net income (loss) incorrect

Item L's current year net income (loss) may show the wrong amount if multiple overrides are selected or the allocation code isn't set up correct.
Schedule K-1 Item L calculates using a book basis rather than a tax basis. To fix or show tax basis amounts, adjust the Net Income Per Books override settings.

    .
  2. In the

    section, select only one of the 3 options. Selecting multiple options causes incorrect calculations.

    Override Sch M-2, line 3 (Net income per books) and the partners' Item L current year net income (loss)
