| Almanacers,
A client of mine has a K-1 from an S corp. She has no basis from the get go. She is now getting a K-1 with losses. These will be suspended losses. I am not filing her personal return but I will give her the K-1. However, on Proseries, the K-1 shows the loss. Do I need to write some where on the supplementary tab that will be attachd to the K-1 telling this shareholder that this loss cannot be taken and must be suspended. How would her tax preparer even know that she had no basis? | |

| ProSeries has a shareholder basis computation that allocates basis to her stock and loans (if any). You should provide that basis limitation to her with the K-1 since that computation can be made atteh S Corp level. Her tax preparer will then understand she can't take the loss.
Even ProSeries does a poor job with this. I too have a client with limited basis in her S Corp loss and I prepare her 1040. ProSeries' direct import feature incorrectly imported the entire loss and I had to override it. | |
