Form 1065

• Page 1, Box F - Total Assets - This box is not required to be filled in by the tax printing software.
• 5 Interest Income - This value can be found on the Allocation of Income and Expenses Report under the Taxable Interest column.
• 6a/6b - 6a is sum of the Qualified and Nonqualified dividends from the Allocation of Income and Expenses Report. 6b is just the Qualifying Dividends. These values can be found on the Allocation of Income and Expenses Report under the Non-Qualifying Dividends and Qualifying Dividends columns.
• 8 Short Term Capital Gain - This value can be found on the Allocation of Income and Expenses Report under the Short Term Capital Gain column. This figure can include Return of Capital Amounts, which also need to be filled in on Schedule D, Part II, Line 12.

• 9c Unrecaptured Section 1250 Gain - This comes from 1099-DIV, if your club has invested in a REIT.
• 11 Other Income - This value can be found on the Allocation of Income and Expenses Report under the Misc Income/Expense column. While the column in the DOE reports the total income plus expenses, which could end in a negative number, the tax form only displays the income.
• 13a - Contributions - This value can be found on the Allocation of Income and Expenses Report, under the Charity Donation column.
• 13b Deductions related to portfolio income - This value can be found on the Allocation of Income and Expenses Report under the Misc Income/Expense column. While the column in the AIE reports the total income plus expenses, which could end in a negative number, the tax form displays the expense alone as a positive number.
• 16d - Passive ... General Limitation - Only the dividends that are from foreign companies are included which can be found in the Transaction Summary report. Make sure to enter the total of the Dividend and the Foreign Tax.
• 16l Foreign Taxes Paid - This value can be found on the Allocation of Income and Expenses Report under the Foreign Taxes Paid column. Make sure to enter only the Foreign Tax amount on this line, and put a check mark in the PAID box.
• 18a Tax-exempt interest income - This value can be found on the Allocation of Income and Expenses Report under the Federal Tax Free Interest column.
• 18c Non-deductible expenses - This value can be found on the Allocation of Income and Expenses Report under the Non-deductible expense column.
• 19a Distributions of cash and marketable securities - Cash distributions, found in the Withdrawal report(s).
• 19b (19c on member K-1 forms) Distributions of other property - Stock distributions, found in the Withdrawal report(s). The figure here will be the club's basis in the transferred shares. This is per the IRS' K-1 instructions stating that 19C should show the partnership's basis of property before it was transferred to the member.
• Per our accounting advisor, we use these lines for stocks instead of 19a. In a normal business partnership securities would be treated as cash and listed on line 19a.Clubs are investment partnerships and do not follow the same rules. For investment partnerships, securities are treated as property and that is why distributions of securities are listed on line 19b or 19c as appropriate. If they were treated as cash, then you could not transfer stock in a full withdrawal and delay the capital gain until the stock was sold by the withdrawing member. It is because they are treated as property for an investment partnership that the gain from a club investment can be delayed further even after a member withdraws.
• 20a - This value can be found on the Allocation of Income and Expenses Report under many columns. It is the sum of the taxable interest, qualified dividends, nonqualified dividends, and income components of misc. expense/income, as they appear on the Allocation of Income and Expenses Report.
• 20b - Deductions related to portfolio income - This value can be found on the Allocation of Income and Expenses Report under the Misc Income/Expense column. While the column in the AIE reports the total income plus expenses, which could end in a negative number, the tax form displays the expense alone as a positive number.

In addition to these figures, the form also needs to be signed in two places:
1. Near the bottom of the First page, "Signature of general partner or limited liability company member manager." This should be signed and dated by the Treasurer.
2. Near the bottom of the Second page, "Enter below the general partner designated as the tax matters partner (TMP) for the year of this return." This should be signed by the club member preparing the tax returns. Most times this will be the Treasurer, but some clubs will assign a separate member, or an outside source to prepare the taxes. The identifying number requested will be the social security number of the person preparing the taxes.

Schedule K-1

• Part 1
• A, B, C, D - Basic club information such as name, address and filing location.
• Part II
• E, F, G, H and I - Basic member information such as name, address, social security number.
• J - The share of the club profit and loss given to the member at the start of the previous year, and the end of the year.
• K and L - These sections are not required for Club Accounting partnerships. Question 6 of Schedule B of form 1065, gives 4 conditions. If a partnership satisfies all 4 conditions then they are not required to complete Schedules L, M-1 and M-2 of form 1065 and not complete section L of the Schedule K-1s. Nearly all investment clubs satisfy the 4 conditions in question 6 (also shown on the tax printer). This is why the tax printer program does not populate those fields.

We recognize that some accountants may ask for this information regardless of its necessity. If so, the information needed for part L of the K-1 can be found on the Individual Valuation Units ledger. First, set the report to use a start date of 12/31 of the year prior to what you are running the taxes for and an end date of 12/31 of the year you are generating the taxes for.
Beginning capital account: is the Paid-in-Plus-Earnings after the Distribution of Earnings on 12/31 of the previous tax year.
Capital contributed during the year: is the sum of all deposits.
Current year increase/decrease: is the Paid-in-This-date amount for the Distributed earnings on 12/31 of the year the forms are being prepared for.
Withdrawals & Distributions: If a withdrawal was made it will appear with the amount on this report also. A distribution is a bit different and generally does not apply to investment clubs.
Ending capital account: The Paid-in-Plus-Earnings after the Distribution of Earnings on 12/31 of the year the forms are being prepared for.
