About Entering Foreign Tax Information Reported on Schedule K-3

Beginning in 2021, many partnerships and S-Corporations began to provide Schedule K-3 (Partner’s or Shareholder’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc.-International) to their owners.
With respect to the information necessary to determine the foreign tax credit, the layout for the partnership and S-Corporation entry pages in ONESOURCE Trust Tax is similar to the layout of the Schedule K-3. No material changes were made to the foreign tax information on the Trust/Estate entry page.
Information included on Schedule K-3 that is not related to foreign taxes must be entered elsewhere in ONESOURCE Trust Tax. For example, if a 1065 Schedule K-3 includes information in Part VII regarding Passive Foreign Investment Companies (PFICs), then that information must be entered on the Form 8621 PFIC/QEF Summary page. To access this page from the account binder, select
Additional Information and Tax Forms
then
Form 8621 - Return of a PFIC/QEF
.
Much of the information reported on Schedule K-3 with respect to foreign taxes is either unnecessary for completion of Form 1116 or is not currently used in ONESOURCE Trust Tax computations.
Enter all amounts as positive values unless indicated otherwise in the document.
