Why does an S corporation K-1 not have liabilities and profit/loss interest on Shareholder information section relative to the K-1 for a partnership.
There are two Schedule K-1 versions. One is for partners in partnership firms (Form 1065) and the other is for shareholders in an S corporation (Form 1120s).
The major differences between the two Schedule K-1 forms are as to how the income/losses and certain types of deductions are included.
The Schedule K-1 itself is not filed with the personal return but is sent to the IRS along with the appropriate business tax form (Form 1065 for a partnership; form 1120-S for an s corporation).
