An S-Corp is a partner in a limited partnership. They received a K-1 from the partnership with a letter stating that this is the final year that the partnership will be filing an income tax return, hence this is the last K-1 that the S-Corp will receive.

Looking at the K-1, the S-Corp has a negative $35,000 ending capital account balance in the partnership.

Is there anything I need to do with this on the 1120S or how do I handle? I have never run into this before so if there is anyone out there who can help me out, I GREATLY appreciate it!!!!!!
