Shareholder's Share of Income, Credits, Deductions, etc. (For Shareholder's Use Only)
General Instructions
Purpose of Schedule K-1
The corporation uses Schedule K-1 (Form 1120S) to report your pro rata share of the corporation's income (reduced by any tax the corporation paid on the income), credits, deductions, etc. Please keep it for your records. Do not file it with your tax return. The corporation has filed a copy with the IRS.
Although the corporation may have to pay a capital gains tax (or built-in gains tax) and an excess net passive income tax, you, the shareholder, are liable for income tax on your share of the corporation's income, whether or not distributed, and you must include your share on your tax return if a return is required. Your distributive share of S corporation income is not self-employment income and it is not subject to self-employment tax.
You should use these instructions to help you report the items shown on Schedule K-1 on your tax return.
Where "(attach schedule)" appears next to a line on Schedule K-1, it means the information for these lines (if applicable) will be shown in the "Supplemental Information" space below line 23 of Schedule K-1. If additional space was needed, the corporation will have attached a statement to Schedule K-1 to show the information for the line item.
The notation "(see instructions for Schedule K-1)" in items A and C at the top of Schedule K-1 is directed to the corporation. You, as a shareholder, should disregard these notations.
Schedule K-1 does not show the amount of actual dividend distributions the corporation made to you. The corporation must report to you such amounts totaling $10 or more for the calendar year on Form 1099-DIV, Dividends and Distributions.
Inconsistent Treatment of Items
Generally, you must report subchapter S items shown on your Schedule K-1 (and any attached schedules) the same way that the corporation treated the items on its return.
If the treatment on your original or amended return is inconsistent with the corporation's treatment, or if the corporation has not filed a return, you must file Form 8082, Notice of Inconsistent Treatment or Administrative Adjustment Request (AAR), with your original or amended return to identify and explain any inconsistency (or to note that a corporate return has not been filed).
If you are required to file Form 8082, but fail to do so, you may be subject to the accuracy-related penalty. This penalty is in addition to any tax that results from making your amount or treatment of the item consistent with that shown on the corporation's return. Any deficiency that results from making the amounts consistent may be assessed immediately.
Errors
If you believe the corporation has made an error on your Schedule K-1, notify the corporation and ask for a corrected Schedule K-1. Do not change any items on your copy. Be sure that the corporation sends a copy of the corrected Schedule K-1 to the IRS. If you are unable to reach agreement with the corporation regarding the inconsistency, you must file Form 8082.
International Boycotts
Every corporation that had operations in, or related to, a boycotting country, company, or national of a country, must file Form 5713, International Boycott Report.
If the corporation cooperated with an international boycott, it must give you a copy of its Form 5713. You must file your own Form 5713 to report the activities of the corporation and any other boycott operations that you may have. You may lose certain tax benefits if the corporation participated in, or cooperated with, an international boycott. See Form 5713 and its instructions for more information.
Elections
Generally, the corporation decides how to figure taxable income from its operations. For example, it chooses the accounting method and depreciation methods it will use. However, certain elections are made by you separately on your income tax return and not by the corporation. These elections are made under:
If the corporation attaches a statement to Schedule K-1 indicating that it has changed its tax year and that you may elect to report your pro rata share of the income attributable to that change ratably over 4 tax years, see Rev. Proc. 2003-79, 2003-45 I.R.B. 1036 for details on making the election. To make the election, you must file Form 8082, Notice of Inconsistent Treatment or Administrative Adjustment Request, with your income tax return for each of the 4 tax years. File Form 8082 for this purpose in accordance with Rev. Proc. 2003-79 instead of the Form 8082 instructions.
Additional Information
For more information on the treatment of S corporation income, credits, deductions, etc., see Pub. 535, Business Expenses; Pub. 550, Investment Income and Expenses; and Pub. 925, Passive Activity and At-Risk Rules.
To get forms and publications, see the instructions for your tax return.
Limitations on Losses, Deductions, and Credits
There are three separate potential limitations on the amount of losses passed to the shareholder that you may deduct on your return. These limitations and the order in which you must apply them are as follows: the basis rules, the at-risk limitations, and the passive activity limitations. Each of these limitations is discussed separately below.
Other limitations may apply to specific deductions (for example, the section 179 expense deduction). Generally, these limitations apply before the basis, at-risk, and passive limitations.
Basis Rules
Generally, the deduction for your share of aggregate losses and deductions reported on Schedule K-1 is limited to the basis of your stock (determined with regard to distributions received during the tax year) and debt owed to you by the corporation. The basis of your stock is figured at year-end.
You are responsible for maintaining records to show the computation of the basis of your stock in the corporation. Schedule K-1 provides information to help you make the computation at the end of each corporate tax year. The basis of your stock (generally, its cost) is adjusted as follows and, except as noted, in the order listed. In addition, basis may be adjusted under other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
You may elect to decrease
your basis under 4 above prior to decreasing your basis under 3 above.
If you make this election, any amount described under 3 that exceeds the basis
of your stock and debt owed to you by the corporation is treated as an amount described
under 3 for the following tax year. To make the election, attach a statement
to your timely filed original or amended return that states you agree to
the carryover rule of Regulations section 1.1367-1(f) and the name of the
S corporation to which the rule applies. Once made, the election applies
to the year for which it is made and all future tax years for that S corporation, unless the IRS agrees to revoke
your election.
The basis of each share of stock is increased or decreased (but not below zero) based on its pro rata share of the above adjustments. If the total decreases in basis attributable to a share exceed that share’s basis, the excess reduces (but not below zero) the remaining bases of all other shares of stock in proportion to the remaining basis of each of those shares.
Basis of loans. The basis of your loans to the corporation is generally the balance the corporation owes you, adjusted for any reductions and restorations of loan basis (see the instructions for box 16, code E). Any amounts described in (3) and (4) on page 2 not used to offset amounts in (1) on page 2, or reduce your stock basis, are used to reduce your loan basis (to the extent of such basis prior to such reduction).
CAUTION! When
determining your basis in loans to the corporation, remember that:
• Distributions do not reduce loan basis.
• Loans that a shareholder guarantees or co-makes are not part of a shareholder’s
loan basis.
Generally, you will have to complete Form 6198, At-Risk Limitations, to figure your allowable loss, if you have:
The at-risk rules generally limit the amount of loss and other deductions that you can claim to the amount you could actually lose in the activity. These losses and deductions include a loss on the disposition of assets and the section 179 expense deduction. However, if you acquired your stock before 1987, the at-risk rules do not apply to losses from an activity of holding real property placed in service before 1987 by the corporation. The activity of holding mineral property does not qualify for this exception. The corporation should identify on an attachment to Schedule K-1 the amount of any losses that are not subject to the at-risk limitations.
Generally, you are not at risk for amounts such as the following:
Any loss from a section 465 activity not allowed for this tax year will be treated as a deduction allocable to the activity in the next tax year.
You should get a separate statement of income, expenses, etc., for each activity from the corporation.
Section 469 provides rules that limit the deduction of certain losses and credits. The rules apply to shareholders who—
Generally, passive activities include:
The corporation will identify separately each activity that may be passive to you. If the corporation had more than one activity, it will report information in the line 23 Supplemental Information space, or attach a statement if more space is needed, that (a) identifies each activity (trade or business activity, rental real estate activity, rental activity other than rental real estate, etc.); (b) specifies the income (loss), deductions, and credits from each activity; and (c) provides other details you may need to determine if an activity loss or credit is subject to the passive activity limitations.
If you determine that you have a passive activity loss or credit, get Form 8582, Passive Activity Loss Limitations, to figure your allowable passive losses, and Form 8582-CR, Passive Activity Credit Limitations, to figure your allowable passive credit. See the instructions for these forms for more information.
Material participation. You must determine if you materially participated (a) in each trade or business activity held through the corporation and (b), if you were a real estate professional (defined on page 2), in each rental real estate activity held through the corporation. All determinations of material participation are made with respect to your participation during the corporation's tax year.
Material participation standards for shareholders who are individuals are listed below. Special rules apply to certain retired or disabled farmers and to the surviving spouses of farmers. See the Instructions for Form 8582 for details.
Individuals. If you are an individual, you are considered to materially participate in a trade or business activity only if one or more of the following apply:
Work counted toward material participation. Generally, any work that you or your spouse does in connection with an activity held through an S corporation (in which you own stock at the time the work is done) is counted toward material participation. However, work in connection with an activity is not counted toward material participation if either of the following applies:
Effect of determination. If you determine that you (a) materially participated in a trade or business activity of the corporation or (b) were a real estate professional (defined on page 2), in a rental real estate activity of the corporation, report the income (loss), deductions, and credits from that activity as indicated in either column (c) of Schedule K-1 or the instructions for your tax return.
If you determine that you did not materially participate in a trade or business activity of the corporation, or you have income (loss), deductions, or credits from a rental activity of the corporation (other than a rental real estate activity in which you materially participated, if you were a real estate professional), the amounts from that activity are passive. Report passive income (losses), deductions, and credits as follows:
Special allowance for a rental real estate activity. If you actively participated in a rental real estate activity, you may be able to deduct up to $25,000 of the loss from the activity from nonpassive income. This special allowance is an exception to the general rule disallowing losses in excess of income from passive activities. The special allowance is not available if you were married, file a separate return for the year, and did not live apart from your spouse at all times during the year.
Only individuals and qualifying estates can actively participate in a rental real estate activity. Estates (other than qualifying estates) and trusts cannot actively participate.
You are not considered to actively participate in a rental real estate activity if, at any time during the tax year, your interest (including your spouse's interest) in the activity was less than 10% (by value) of all interests in the activity.
Active participation is a less stringent requirement than material participation. You may be treated as actively participating if you participated, for example, in making management decisions or arranging for others to provide services (such as repairs) in a significant and bona fide sense.
Management decisions that can count as active participation include approving new tenants, deciding on rental terms, approving capital or repair expenditures, and other similar decisions.
An estate is a qualifying estate if the decedent would have satisfied the active participation requirement for the activity for the tax year the decedent died. A qualifying estate is treated as actively participating for tax years ending less than 2 years after the date of the decedent's death.
Modified adjusted gross income limitation. The maximum special allowance that single individuals and married individuals filing a joint return can qualify for is $25,000. The maximum is $12,500 for married individuals who file separate returns and who lived apart at all times during the year. The maximum special allowance for which an estate can qualify is $25,000 reduced by the special allowance for which the surviving spouse qualifies.
If your modified adjusted gross income (defined below) is $100,000 or less ($50,000 or less if married filing separately), your loss is deductible up to the amount of the maximum special allowance referred to in the preceding paragraph. If your modified adjusted gross income is more than $100,000 (more than $50,000 if married filing separately), the special allowance is limited to 50% of the difference between $150,000 ($75,000 if married filing separately) and your modified adjusted gross income. When modified adjusted gross income is $150,000 or more ($75,000 or more if married filing separately), there is no special allowance.
Modified adjusted gross income is your adjusted gross income figured without taking into account:
Commercial revitalization deduction. The special $25,000 allowance for the commercial revitalization deduction from rental real estate activities is not subject to the active participation rules or modified adjusted gross income limits discussed above. See item 23 of the Supplemental Information instructions on page 8.
Special rules for certain other activities. If you have net income (loss), deductions, or credits from any activity to which special rules apply, the corporation will identify the activity and all amounts relating to it on Schedule K-1 or on an attachment.
If you have net income subject to recharacterization under Temporary Regulations section 1.469-2T(f) and Regulations section 1.469-2(f), report such amounts according to the Instructions for Form 8582.
If you have net income (loss), deductions, or credits from either of the following activities, treat such amounts as nonpassive and report them as instructed in column (c) of Schedule K-1 or in these instructions:
Self-charged interest. The corporation will report any “self-charged” interest income or expense that resulted from loans between you and the corporation (or between the corporation and other S corporation or partnership in which you have an interest). If the corporation reports self-charged interest income or expense, and it is related to a passive activity, you may elect to treat the items as either passive activity gross income or passive activity deductions. If there was more than one activity, the corporation will provide a statement allocating the interest income or expense with respect to each activity. See the Instructions for Form 8582 for more information.
Specific Instructions
If the corporation is a registration-required tax shelter or has invested in a registration-required tax shelter, it should have completed Item C. If you claim or report any income, loss, deduction, or credit from a tax shelter, you are required to attach Form 8271, Investor Reporting of Tax Shelter Registration Number, to your tax return. If the corporation has invested in a tax shelter, it is required to give you a copy of its Form 8271 with your Schedule K-1. Use the information on that Form 8271 to complete your Form 8271.
If the corporation itself is a registration-required tax shelter, use the information on Schedule K-1 (name of corporation, corporation identifying number, and tax shelter registration number) to complete your Form 8271.
Lines 1 Through 17
The amounts shown in boxes
1 through 17 reflect your share of income, loss, deductions, credits, etc.,
from corporate business or rental activities without reference to limitations
on losses, credits, or other
items that may have to be adjusted because of:
For information on these provisions, see Limitations on Losses, Deductions, and Credits beginning on page 2. The limitations for item (4) are discussed throughout these instructions.
If you are an individual, and the above limitations do not apply to the amounts shown on your Schedule K-1, take the amounts shown and enter them on the lines of your tax return as indicated in the summarized reporting information shown on page 2 of the Schedule K-1. If any of the above limitations apply, adjust the amounts on Schedule K-1 for the limitations before you enter them on your return.
When applicable, the passive activity limitations on losses are applied after the limitations on losses for a shareholder's basis in stock and debt and the shareholder's at-risk amount.
Note: The line number references in column (c) are to forms in use for tax years beginning in 2007. If you are a calendar year shareholder in a fiscal year 2007–2007 corporation, enter these amounts on the corresponding lines of the tax form in use for 2007.
Caution: If you have losses, deductions, credits, etc., from a prior year that were not deductible or usable because of certain limitations, such as the basis rules or the at-risk limitations, take them into account in determining your income, loss, etc., for this year. However, except for passive activity losses and credits, do not combine the prior-year amounts with any amounts shown on this Schedule K-1 to get a net figure to report on your return. Instead, report the amounts on your return on a year-by-year basis.
Income (Loss)
Line 1—Ordinary Income (Loss) From Trade or Business Activities
The amount reported on line 1 is your share of the ordinary income (loss) from trade or business activities of the corporation. Generally, where you report this amount on Form 1040 depends on whether the amount is from an activity that is a passive activity to you. If you are an individual shareholder, find your situation below and report your line 1 income (loss) as instructed after applying the basis and at-risk limitations on losses.
Line 2—Net Income (Loss) From Rental Real Estate Activities
Generally, the income (loss) reported on line 2 is a passive activity amount for all shareholders. However, the income (loss) on line 2 is not from a passive activity if you were a real estate professional (defined on page 2) and you materially participated in the activity.
If you are filing a 2007 Form 1040, use the following instructions to determine where to enter a box 2 amount:
Line 3—Other Net Rental Income (Loss)

The statement will also report your share of any “excess inclusion” that you report on Schedule E, line 38, column (c), and your share of section 212 expenses that you report on Schedule E, line 38, column (e). If you itemize your deductions on Schedule A (Form 1040), you may also deduct these section 212 expenses as a miscellaneous deduction subject to the 2% limit on Schedule A, line 22.
Code B. Involuntary
conversions.
This is your share of net loss from involuntary conversions due to casualty
or theft. The corporation will give you a schedule that shows the amounts to

Code C. Noncash contributions (50%). If property other than cash is contributed, and if the claimed deduction for one item or group of similar items of property exceeds $5,000, the corporation must give you a copy of Form 8283, Noncash Charitable Contributions, to attach to your tax return. Do not deduct the amount shown on Form 8283. It is the corporation’s contribution. Instead, deduct the amount identified by code C, box 12, subject to the 50% AGI limitation, on line 16 of Schedule A (Form 1040).
If the corporation provides you with information that the contribution wasproperty other than cash and does not give you a Form 8283, see the Instructions for Form 8283 for filing requirements.

Food inventory contributions. The corporation will report on an attached statement your share of qualified food inventory contributions. The food inventory contribution is not included in the amount reported in box 12 using code C. The corporation will also report your share of the corporation’s net income from the business activities that made the food inventory contribution(s). Your deduction for food inventory contributions cannot exceed 10 percent of your aggregate net income for the tax year from the business activities from which the food inventory contribution was made (including your share of net income from partnership or S corporation businesses that made food inventory contributions).

For more information on the special provisions that apply to investment interest expense, see Form 4952 and Pub. 550.
Code I. Deductions—royalty income. Enter deductions allocable to royalties on Schedule E (Form 1040), line 18. For this type of expense, enter “From Schedule K-1 (Form 1120S).”
These deductions are not taken into account in figuring your passive activity loss for the year. Do not enter them on Form 8582.
Code J. Section
59(e)(2) expenditures. On an attached statement, the corporation will
show the type and the amount of qualified
expenditures to which an election under section 59(e) may apply. The statement
will also identify the property for which the expenditures were paid or incurred.
If there is more than one type of expenditure, the amount of each type will
also be listed.
If you deduct these expenditures
in full in the current year, they are treated as adjustments or tax preference
items for purposes of alternative minimum tax. Generally, section 59(e) allows
each shareholder to elect to amortize these expenditures over the number of
years in the applicable period rather than deduct the full amount in the current
year. If you make this election, these items are not treated as adjustments
or tax preference items.
Under the election, you can deduct circulation expenditures ratably over a 3-year period. Research and experimental expenditures and mining exploration and development costs can be amortized over a 10-year period. Intangible drilling and development costs can be amortized over a 60-month period, beginning with the month in which such costs were paid or incurred.
Make the election on Form
4562. If you make the election, report the current year amortization of section
59(e) expenditures from Part VI of Form 4562 on line 28 of Schedule E (Form
1040). If you do not make the election, report the section 59(e)(2) expenditures
on line 28 of Schedule E (Form 1040) and compute the resulting adjustment or
tax preference item (see Form 6251, Alternative
Minimum Tax—Individuals). Whether you deduct the expenditures or electto amortize
them, report the amount on a separate line in column (h) of line 28 if you materially
participated in the partnership activity. If you did not materially participate,
follow the Instructions for Form 8582 to figure how much of the deduction can
be reported in column (f).
Code K. Deductions—portfolio (2% floor). Amounts with this code are deductions that are clearly and directly allocable to portfolio income (other than investment interest expense and section 212 expenses from a REMIC). Generally, you should enter these amounts on Schedule A (Form 1040), line 22. See the instructions for Schedule A, lines 22 and 27, for details.
These deductions are not taken into account in figuring your passive activity loss for the year. Do not enter them on Form 8582.
Code L. Deductions—portfolio (other). Generally, you should enter these amounts on Schedule A (Form 1040), line 27. See the instructions for Schedule A, lines 22 and 27, for details.
