I am trying to imput 3 K-1s I have from PTPs. The program won't let me enter all the information. They all have losses. I get an error message that says I have to have gains on line 1-4 to be equal to or greater than the losses on lines 8-12. If the PTP has losses, there are no gains to report. I have talked to 2 people and they say they are doing as the instructions say to do it based on IRS instructions. If I don't mark them as PTPs, it will let me put whatever in I want to. So it is not producing the 8582 for the unallowed losses.
My problem has started this year because I never noticed that they were PTPs and they have taken the losses every year. I refigured last year and they would have owed $5 more if the losses had not been allowed. So I wasn't too concerned about correcting previous returns but want to do it right now.
Have any of you had K-1s from PTPs with losses? If so, how did you handle the imput of the information?
Thank you so much for your help. By the way, I downloaded a sample version of Drake and I could put the information in the program and it produced the 8582.
