TaxCPANY Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Has anyone successfully e-filed a 1040 with PDF'd Form 8865 K-1's attached? This has got to be the worst year possible to tell a client to paper file a return! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxCPANY Posted April 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Well, it worked inasmuch as MeF accepted it tonight. Besides attaching two 8865 K-1's, I input their ordinary income on Line 8 of Schedule 1 with the legend "Form 8865 Schedules K-1" and the partnership names, input the same amounts (fortunately) on the supporting schedule to Line 2 of Schedule SE and the detail schedule feeding Line 1a, Part I of Form 1116. Foreign tax withholdings ended up on Line B of Part II while Line A was empty but it doesn't look too bad, and it's just there to be carried over as the client had insufficient taxable income -- only self-employment tax. No ordinary tax also meant I didn't have to wrestle with Form 8995 which initially looked to be the most difficult to work around. After Tax Season I'll email a request to MeF to make 8865's acceptable. This wasn't fun. Reminds me that Schedules C free of self-employment tax (due to totalization) also necessitate paper filing. That seems a much simpler form to allow the e-filing of and yet . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
