K-1 interest doesn't calculate to Schedule B
📚 What This Guide Covers
This article explains what to do when K-1 interest information does not calculate to Schedule B, including how to un-estimate and re-allow transfers.
⚠️ Before You Begin
Open the forms you are working on and locate the K-1 transfer destination shown in the Where entered column.
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Check where the K-1 data is going
Look carefully at the forms and lines to which K-1 information will carry, as shown on-screen in the Where entered column. If you have made a manual entry directly on one of these lines prior to completing the K-1, the K-1 information will have nowhere to go.
Step 2: Understand the estimated/override behavior
When there is manually entered data in an entry and K-1 data transferring to the same entry, Sure-Fire does two things:
- Sure-Fire allows the manually entered data to override the K-1 data. The entry is automatically marked as overridden.
- Sure-Fire flags the entry as estimated. The estimated status alerts you that there is a problem with the entry and will prevent the form from checking off as complete.
Step 3: Un-estimate and allow K-1 transfer
Press Shift+F3 to un-estimate the entry. Then press Shift+F8 to allow the K-1 data to transfer in. The entry should then look like a normal calculated entry (yellow text).
Step 4: Re-enter manual data if needed
The manually entered data will have to be re-entered, if appropriate.
Step 5: Best practice
We strongly recommend that you complete K-1 Worksheets before making any entries on forms to which K-1 data carries.
