Caution: DRAFT—NOT FOR FILING
This is an early release draft of an IRS tax form, instructions, or publication,
which the IRS is providing for your information. Do not file draft forms and do
not rely on draft forms, instructions, and publications for filing. We do not
release draft forms until we believe we have incorporated all changes (except
when explicitly stated on this coversheet). However, unexpected issues
occasionally arise, or legislation is passed—in this case, we will post a new draft
of the form to alert users that changes were made to the previously posted draft.
Thus, there are never any changes to the last posted draft of a form and the
final revision of the form. Forms and instructions generally are subject to OMB
approval before they can be officially released, so we post only drafts of them
until they are approved. Drafts of instructions and publications usually have
some changes before their final release.
Early release drafts are at IRS.gov/DraftForms and remain there after the
final release is posted at IRS.gov/LatestForms. All information about all forms,
instructions, and pubs is at IRS.gov/Forms.
Almost every form and publication has a page on IRS.gov with a friendly
shortcut. For example, the Form 1040 page is at IRS.gov/Form1040; the Pub.
501 page is at IRS.gov/Pub501; the Form W-4 page is at IRS.gov/W4; and the
Schedule A (Form 1040/SR) page is at IRS.gov/ScheduleA. If typing in a link
above instead of clicking on it, be sure to type the link into the address bar of
your browser, not a Search box.
If you wish, you can submit comments to the IRS about draft or final forms,
instructions, or publications at IRS.gov/FormsComments. We cannot respond to
all comments due to the high volume we receive and may not be able to
consider many suggestions until the subsequent revision of the product.
If you have comments on reducing paperwork and respondent (filer) burden,
with respect to draft or final forms, please respond to the relevant information
collection through the Federal Register process; for more info, click here.

Future Developments
For the latest information about
developments related to Schedule K-1 (Form
1065) and the Partner's Instructions for
Schedule K-1 (Form 1065), such as
legislation enacted after they were
published, go to IRS.gov/Form1065.

What’s New
Schedule K-3 (Form 1065). New
Schedule K-3 replaces prior lines 16 and 20
for certain international items on
Schedule K-1. The new schedule is
designed to provide greater clarity for
partners on how to compute their U.S.
income tax liability with respect to items of
international tax relevance, including
claiming deductions and credits.
Section 743(b) adjustment. New code U
under line 20 is used to report the total
remaining section 743(b) adjustment for
applicable partners. This was reported in
previous years on line 20, code AH.

gains of a partner that holds one or more
applicable partnership interests as
short-term capital gains. An applicable
partnership interest is an interest in a
partnership that is transferred to or held by a
taxpayer, directly or indirectly, in connection
with the performance of substantial services
by the taxpayer or any other related person,
in an applicable trade or business. See
 section 1061 FAQs for
owner-taxpayer filing and reporting
requirements.

Self-employment clarification.
Information has been added to help with
determining which partners qualify as limited
partners for purposes of self-employment
tax. See Limited Partner, later.

Reminders
Changed format of Schedule K-1.
Schedule K-1 no longer has a page 2 with
the list of codes. The list of codes and
descriptions are provided under List of
Codes and References Used in
Schedule K-1 (Form 1065) at the end of
these instructions.
Decedent’s Schedule K-1. An executor is
responsible to notify the partnership of the
name and tax identification number of the
decedent’s estate when the partnership
interest is part of a decedent’s estate. See
Decedent’s Schedule K-1, later.
Code N, box 20. Loss class under section 704(d). Regulations section
1.163(j)-6(h) created a new section 704(d)
loss class for business interest expense
effective for tax years beginning after
November 12, 2020, for purposes of loss
limitation. As a result, all partnerships must
report to partners, business interest expense
separately for purposes of section 704(d).
Code AG, box 20. Gross receipts for section 448(c). For tax years ending after
December 30, 2020, partners in a
partnership must include a share of
partnership gross receipts in proportion to
their share of gross income under section
703 unless the partnership and the partner
are treated as a single employer under
section 448(c). See Regulations section
1.163(j)-2(d)(iii) and IRS.gov/newsroom/

General Instructions

Purpose of Schedule K-1

The partnership uses Schedule K-1 to report
your share of the partnership's income,
deductions, credits, etc. Keep it for your
records. Do not file it with your tax return
unless you are specifically required to do so.
(See the instructions for Code O. Backup
withholding, later.) The partnership files a
copy of Schedule K-1 (Form 1065) with the
IRS.

For your protection, Schedule K-1 may
show only the last four digits of your
identifying number (social security number
(SSN), etc.). However, the partnership has
reported your complete identifying number to
the IRS.
Although the partnership generally isn't
subject to income tax, you may be liable for
tax on your share of the partnership income,
whether or not distributed. Include your
share on your tax return if a return is
required. Use these instructions to help you
report the items shown on Schedule K-1 on
your tax return.
The amount of loss and deduction you
may claim on your tax return may be less
than the amount reported on Schedule K-1. It
is the partner's responsibility to consider and
apply any applicable limitations. See
Limitations on Losses, Deductions, and
Credits, later, for more information.

Inconsistent Treatment of
Items

If you are a partner in a partnership that has
not elected out of the centralized partnership
audit regime enacted by the Bipartisan
Budget Act of 2015 (BBA), you must report
the items shown on your Schedule K-1 (and
any attached statements) the same way that
the partnership treated the items on its
return.
If the treatment on your original or
amended return is inconsistent with the
partnership's treatment, or if the partnership
was required to but 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 partnership
return has not been filed).
If you are required to file Form 8082 but
do not do so, you may be subject to the

Cat. No. 11396N

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
partnership's return. Any deficiency that
results from making the amounts consistent
may be assessed immediately.

Errors

Gain or loss from the disposition of

TIP your partnership interest may be net

investment income under section
1411 and could be subject to the net
investment income tax. See Form 8960, Net
Investment Income Tax—Individuals,
Estates, and Trusts, and its instructions for
information about how to report and figure
the tax due.

See Form 5713 and its instructions for more
information.

Definitions
General Partner

A general partner is a partner who is
personally liable for partnership debts.

DRAFT AS OF
November 24, 2021
If you believe the partnership has made an
error on your Schedule K-1, notify the
partnership and ask for a corrected
Schedule K-1. Do not change any items on
your copy of Schedule K-1. Be sure that the
partnership sends a copy of the corrected
Schedule K-1 to the IRS.

Decedent’s Schedule K-1

If you are the executor of an estate and you
have received a decedent's Schedule K-1,
then you have the responsibility to notify the
partnership of the name and taxpayer
identification number (TIN) of the decedent's
estate if the partnership interest is part of the
decedent's estate. If a decedent died in a
prior year and the partnership continues to
send the decedent a Schedule K-1 after
being notified of the decedent's death, then
you should request that the partnership send
a corrected Schedule K-1. If you receive an
interest in a partnership by reason of a
former partner's death, you must provide the
partnership with your name and TIN. For
treatment of partnership income upon the
death of a partner, see Pub. 559.

Sale or Exchange of
Partnership Interest

Generally, a partner who sells or exchanges
a partnership interest in a section 751(a)
exchange must notify the partnership, in
writing, within 30 days of the exchange (or, if
earlier, by January 15 of the calendar year
following the calendar year in which the
exchange occurred). A “section 751(a)
exchange” is any sale or exchange of a
partnership interest in which any money or
other property received by the partner in
exchange for that partner's interest is
attributable to unrealized receivables (as
defined in section 751(c)) or inventory items
(as defined in section 751(d)).
The written notice to the partnership must
include the names and addresses of both
parties to the exchange, the identifying
numbers of the transferor and (if known) of
the transferee, and the exchange date.
An exception to this rule is made for sales
or exchanges of publicly traded partnership
interests for which a broker is required to file
Form 1099-B, Proceeds From Broker and
Barter Exchange Transactions.
If a partner is required to notify the
partnership of a section 751(a) exchange but
fails to do so, the partner will be subject to a
penalty for each such failure. However, no
penalty will be imposed if the partner can
show that the failure was due to reasonable
cause and not willful neglect.

Three-year holding period
requirement for applicable
CAUTION partnership interests. Section
1061 increases the required long-term
capital gains holding period for an applicable
partnership interest from more than 1 year to
more than 3 years. The holding period
applies only to applicable partnership
interests held in connection with the
performance of services as defined in
section 1061. See section 1061 and Pub.
541 for details. Also see  Section 1061
FAQs.

Nominee Reporting

Any person who holds, directly or indirectly,
an interest in a partnership as a nominee for
another person must furnish a written
statement to the partnership by the last day
of the month following the end of the
partnership's tax year. This statement must
include the name, address, and identifying
number of the nominee and such other
person; description of the partnership
interest held as nominee for that person; and
other information required by Temporary
Regulations section 1.6031(c)-1T. A
nominee that fails to furnish this statement
must furnish to the person for whom the
nominee holds the partnership interest a
copy of Schedule K-1 and related
information within 30 days of receiving it from
the partnership.
A nominee who fails to furnish all the
information required by Temporary
Regulations section 1.6031(c)-1T when due,
or who furnishes incorrect information, is
subject to a $280 penalty for each failure.
The maximum penalty is $3,392,000 for all
such failures during a calendar year. If the
nominee intentionally disregards the
requirement to report correct information,
each $280 penalty increases to $560 or, if
greater, 10% of the aggregate amount of
items required to be reported, and there is no
limit to the amount of the penalty.

International Boycotts

Every partnership that had operations in, or
related to, a boycotting country, company, or
a national of a boycotting country must file
Form 5713, International Boycott Report.
If the partnership 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 partnership's
activities and any other boycott operations
that you may have. You may lose certain tax
benefits if the partnership participated in, or
cooperated with, an international boycott.
-2-

Limited Partner

A limited partner is a partner in a partnership
formed under a state limited partnership law,
whose personal liability for partnership debts
is limited to the amount of money or other
property that the partner contributed or is
required to contribute to the partnership.
Some members of other entities, such as
domestic or foreign business trusts or limited
liability companies (LLCs) that are classified
as partnerships, may be treated as limited
partners for certain purposes.

However, whether a partner (including a
member of an LLC treated as a partnership
for federal income tax purposes) qualifies as
a limited partner for purposes of
self-employment tax depends upon whether
the partner meets the definition of a limited
partner under section 1402(a)(13); whether a
partner is a limited partner under state
limited partnership law is not determinative.
Relevant to this determination is whether the
partner merely invested in the partnership
and is not actively participating in the
partnership's business operations; a partner
who is performing services for a partnership
in their capacity as a partner and who is,
based on the facts and circumstances,
acting in the manner of a self-employed
person is not a limited partner for
self-employment tax purposes. See
Renkemeyer, Campbell & Weaver, LLP v.
Commissioner, 136 T.C. 137, 150 (2011).

Nonrecourse Loans

Nonrecourse loans are those liabilities of the
partnership for which no partner or related
person bears the economic risk of loss.

Elections

Generally, the partnership decides how to
figure taxable income from its operations.
However, certain elections are made by you
separately on your income tax return and not
by the partnership. These elections are
made under the following code sections.
• Section 59(e) (deduction of certain
qualified expenditures ratably over the period
of time specified in that section). For details,
see the instructions for code J in box 13.
• Section 108(b)(5) (election related to
reduction of tax attributes due to exclusion
from gross income of discharge of
indebtedness).
• Section 263A(d) (preproductive
expenses). See the instructions for code P in
box 13.
• Section 617 (deduction and recapture of
certain mining exploration expenditures).
• Section 901 (foreign tax credit).

DRAFT AS OF
November 24, 2021
Limitations on Losses,
Deductions, and Credits

There are potential limitations on partnership
losses that you can deduct on your return.
These limitations and the order in which you
must apply them are as follows: the basis
limitations, the at-risk limitations, and the
passive activity limitations. These limitations
are discussed below.
Other limitations may apply to specific
deductions (for example, the section 179
expense deduction). Generally, specific
limitations apply before the at-risk and
passive loss limitations.

Basis Limitations

Generally, you may not claim your share of a
partnership loss (including a capital loss) to
the extent that it is greater than the adjusted
basis of your partnership interest at the end
of the partnership's tax year. Any losses and
deductions not allowed this year because of
the basis limit can be carried forward
indefinitely and deducted in a later year
subject to the basis limit for that year.
The partnership isn't responsible for
keeping the information needed to figure the
basis of your partnership interest. Although
the partnership does provide an analysis of
the changes to your capital account in item L
of Schedule K-1, that information is based on
the partnership's books and records and
cannot be used to figure your basis.

8. Your decreased share of partnership liabilities and any decrease in your individual
liabilities because they were assumed by the partnership. (Subtract your share of
liabilities shown in item K of your 2021 Schedule K-1 from your share of liabilities shown
in item K of your 2020 Schedule K-1 and add the amount of your individual liabilities that
the partnership assumed during the tax year (but not less than zero).) . . . . . . . . . . . .

(excluding business interest expense) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

9.

10. Your share of the partnership's losses and deductions (including capital losses).
However, include your share of the partnership's section 179 expense deduction for this
year even if you cannot deduct all of it because of limitations. Include business interest
expense as a separate loss class. See Note below. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

11. The amount of your deduction for depletion of any partnership oil and gas property, not to
exceed your allocable share of the adjusted basis of that property . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

12. Your adjusted basis in the partnership at the end of this tax year. (Add lines 1 through 6
and subtract lines 7 through 11 from the total. If zero or less, enter -0-.) . . . . . . . . . . .

12.

Caution: The deduction for your share of the partnership's losses and deductions is
limited to your adjusted basis in your partnership interest. If you entered zero on line 12
and the amount figured for line 12 was less than zero, a portion of your share of the
partnership losses and deductions may not be deductible. (See Basis Limitations, earlier,
for more information.) Also see Part III. Partner's Share of Current Year Income,
Deductions, Credits, and Other Items, later.
Note: Include on line 10 business interest expense that was removed from the amount on
line 4a. Business interest expense is considered a separate loss class under Proposed
Regulations section 1.163(j)-6(h)(1). However, to the extent basis is proportionately
allocated to this loss class, interest expense is absorbed by applying currently deductible
business interest expense to basis first. Excess business interest expense is applied to
basis second. Excess business interest expense is only applicable to partnerships
subject to section 163(j). In addition, if a partnership has negative section 704(d) expense
(interest expense that is limited by basis), negative section 704(d) expense becomes
excess business interest expense in the year that the basis limitation no longer applies.
This is effective for tax years beginning after November 12, 2020.

You can figure the adjusted basis of your
partnership interest by adding items that
increase your basis and then subtracting
items that decrease your basis.
Use the Worksheet for Adjusting the
Basis of a Partner’s Interest in the
Partnership to figure the basis of your
interest in the partnership.
For partnership tax years beginning after
2017, a partner's share of the adjusted basis
in partnership charitable contributions
(defined in section 170(c)) and taxes,
described in section 901, paid or accrued to
foreign countries and to possessions of the
United States are subject to this basis
limitation (defined in section 704(d)).
For more details on the basis limitations,
and special rules for charitable contributions
and foreign taxes paid and accrued, see
Pub. 541, Partnerships.

At-Risk Limitations

Generally, if you have (a) a loss or other
deduction from any activity carried on as a
trade or business or for the production of
income by the partnership, and (b) amounts

Caution: A distribution may be taxable if the amount exceeds your adjusted basis of your
partnership interest immediately before the distribution.

in the activity for which you are not at risk,
you will have to complete Form 6198,
At-Risk Limitations, to figure your allowable
loss for the activity.
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
partnership interest 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 partnership. The activity
of holding mineral property doesn't qualify for
this exception. The partnership should
identify on a statement attached to
Schedule K-1 any losses that are not subject
to the at-risk limitations.

Partner's Inst. for Sch. K-1 (Form 1065) (2021)

-3-

Generally, you are not at risk for amounts
such as the following.
• Nonrecourse loans used to finance the
activity, to acquire property used in the
activity, or to acquire your interest in the
activity that are not secured by your own
property (other than the property used in the
activity). See the instructions for item K, later,
for the exception for qualified nonrecourse
financing secured by real property.
• Cash, property, or borrowed amounts
used in the activity (or contributed to the
activity, or used to acquire your interest in
the activity) that are protected against loss
by a guarantee, stop-loss agreement, or
other similar arrangement (excluding
casualty insurance and insurance against
tort liability).
• Amounts borrowed for use in the activity
from a person who has an interest in the

activity, other than as a creditor, or who is
related, under section 465(b)(3), to a person
(other than you) having such an interest.
You should get a separate statement of
income, expenses, and other items for each
activity from the partnership.
Note. Box 22 in Part III of Schedule K-1
(Form 1065) will be checked when a
statement is attached.

conversion, rental, operation, management,
leasing, or brokerage trade or business.
Services you performed as an employee are
not treated as performed in a real property
trade or business unless you owned more
than 5% of the stock (or more than 5% of the
capital or profits interest) in the employer.
3. Working interests in oil or gas wells if
you were a general partner.
4. The rental of a dwelling unit any
partner used for personal purposes during
the year for more than the greater of 14 days
or 10% of the number of days that the
residence was rented at fair rental value.
5. Activities of trading personal property
for the account of owners of interests in the
activities.

(including individuals who are not owners of
interests in the activity).
3. You participated in the activity for
more than 100 hours during the tax year, and
your participation in the activity for the tax
year wasn't less than the participation in the
activity of any other individual (including
individuals who were not owners of interests
in the activity) for the tax year.
4. The activity was a significant
participation activity for the tax year, and you
participated in all significant participation
activities (including activities outside the
partnership) during the year for more than
500 hours. A significant participation activity
is any trade or business activity in which you
participated for more than 100 hours during
the year and in which you didn't materially
participate under any of the material
participation tests (other than this test).
5. You materially participated in the
activity for any 5 tax years (whether or not
consecutive) during the 10 tax years that
immediately precede the tax year.
6. The activity was a personal service
activity and you materially participated in the
activity for any 3 tax years (whether or not
consecutive) preceding the tax year. A
personal service activity involves the
performance of personal services in the field
of health, law, engineering, architecture,
accounting, actuarial science, performing
arts, consulting, or any other trade or
business in which capital isn't a material
income-producing factor.
7. Based on all the facts and
circumstances, you participated in the
activity on a regular, continuous, and
substantial basis during the tax year.

DRAFT AS OF
November 24, 2021
Passive Activity Limitations

Section 469 provides rules that limit the
deduction of certain losses and credits.
These rules apply to partners who:
• Are individuals, estates, trusts, closely
held C corporations, or personal service
corporations; and
• Have a passive activity loss or credit for
the tax year.

Generally, passive activities include the
following.
1. Trade or business activities in which
you didn't materially participate.
2. Activities that meet the definition of
rental activities under Temporary
Regulations section 1.469-1T(e)(3) and
Regulations section 1.469-1(e)(3).

Passive activities do not include the
following.
1. Trade or business activities in which
you materially participated.
2. Rental real estate activities in which
you materially participated if you were a real
estate professional for the tax year. You
were a real estate professional only if you
met both of the following conditions.
a. More than half of the personal
services you performed in trades or
businesses were performed in real property
trades or businesses in which you materially
participated.
b. You performed more than 750 hours
of services in real property trades or
businesses in which you materially
participated.
For a closely held C corporation

TIP (defined in section 465(a)(1)(B)), the

above conditions are treated as met
if more than 50% of the corporation's gross
receipts were from real property trades or
businesses in which the corporation
materially participated.

For purposes of this rule, each interest in
rental real estate is a separate activity,
unless you elect to treat all interests in rental
real estate as one activity. For details on
making this election, see the Instructions for
Schedule E (Form 1040), Supplemental
Income and Loss.
If you are married filing jointly, either you
or your spouse must separately meet both
(a) and (b) of the above conditions, without
taking into account services performed by
the other spouse.
A real property trade or business is any
real property development, redevelopment,
construction, reconstruction, acquisition,

If you are an individual, an estate, or a
trust, and you have a passive activity loss or
credit, use 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 credits. For a corporation, use Form
8810, Corporate Passive Activity Loss and
Credit Limitations. See the instructions for
these forms for details.
If the partnership had more than one
activity, it will attach a statement to your
Schedule K-1 that identifies each activity
(trade or business activity, rental real estate
activity, rental activity other than rental real
estate, and other activity) and specifies the
income (loss), deductions, and credits from
each activity.
Note. Box 23 in Part III of Schedule K-1
(Form 1065) will be checked when a
statement is attached.

Material participation. You must
determine if you materially participated (a) in
each trade or business activity held through
the partnership, and (b) if you were a real
estate professional (defined earlier) in each
rental real estate activity held through the
partnership. All determinations of material
participation are based on your participation
during the partnership's tax year.
Material participation standards for
partners 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.
Corporations should refer to the
Instructions for Form 8810 for the material
participation standards that apply to them.
Individuals (other than limited
partners). If you are an individual (either a
general partner or a limited partner who
owned a general partnership interest at all
times during the tax year), you materially
participated in an activity only if one or more
of the following apply.
1. You participated in the activity for
more than 500 hours during the tax year.
2. Your participation in the activity for
the tax year constituted substantially all the
participation in the activity of all individuals
-4-

Limited partners. If you are a limited
partner, you must meet item item 1, 5, or 6
above to qualify as having materially
participated.
Work counted toward material
participation. Generally, any work that you
or your spouse does in connection with an
activity held through a partnership (where
you own your partnership interest at the time
the work is done) is counted toward material
participation. However, work in connection
with the activity isn't counted toward material
participation if either of the following applies.
1. The work isn't the type of work that
owners of the activity would usually do and
one of the principal purposes of the work that
you or your spouse does is to avoid the
passive loss or credit limitations.
2. You do the work in your capacity as
an investor and you are not directly involved
in the day-to-day operations of the activity.
Examples of work done as an investor that
would not count toward material participation
include:
a. Studying and reviewing financial
statements or reports on operations of the
activity,
b. Preparing or compiling summaries or
analyses of the finances or operations of the
activity for your own use, and

Partner's Inst. for Sch. K-1 (Form 1065) (2021)

c. Monitoring the finances or operations
of the activity in a non-managerial capacity.
Effect of determination. Income (loss),
deductions, and credits from an activity are
nonpassive if you determine that:
• You materially participated in a trade or
business activity of the partnership, or
• You were a real estate professional
(defined earlier) in a rental real estate activity
of the partnership.
If you determine that you didn't materially
participate in a trade or business activity of
the partnership or if you have income (loss),
deductions, or credits from a rental activity of
the partnership (other than a rental real
estate activity in which you materially
participated as a real estate professional),
the amounts from that activity are passive.
Report passive income (losses), deductions,
and credits as follows.
1. If you have an overall gain (the
excess of income over deductions and
losses, including any prior year unallowed
loss) from a passive activity, report the
income, deductions, and losses from the
activity as indicated in these instructions.
2. If you have an overall loss (the
excess of deductions and losses, including
any prior year unallowed loss, over income)
or credits from a passive activity, report the
income, deductions, losses, and credits from
all passive activities using the Instructions for
Form 8582 or the Instructions for Form
8582-CR (or Form 8810), to see if your
deductions, losses, and credits are limited
under the passive activity rules.

925, Passive Activity and At-Risk Rules, for
more details.
2. If you have an overall gain, the net
gain portion (total gain minus total losses) is
nonpassive income. On the form or schedule
you normally use, report the net gain portion
as nonpassive income and the remaining
income and the total losses as passive
income and loss. To the left of the entry
space, enter “From PTP.” It is important to
identify the nonpassive income because the
nonpassive portion is included in modified
adjusted gross income for purposes of
figuring on Form 8582 the “special
allowance” for active participation in a
non-PTP rental real estate activity. In
addition, the nonpassive income is included
in investment income when figuring your
investment interest expense deduction on
Form 4952, Investment Interest Expense
Deduction.

loss from the PTP by each ratio in column (b)
and enter the result in Part VII, column (c).
Then, complete Part VIII if all the loss from
the same activity is to be reported on one
form or schedule. Use Part IX instead of Part
VIII if you have more than one loss to be
reported on different forms or schedules for
the same activity. Enter the net loss plus any
prior year unallowed losses in Part VIII,
column (a) (or Part IX, if applicable). The
losses in Part VIII, column (c) (Part IX,
column (e)) are the allowed losses to report
on the forms or schedules. Report both these
losses and any income from the PTP on the
forms and schedules you normally use.

DRAFT AS OF
November 24, 2021

Publicly traded partnerships (PTPs).
The passive activity limitations are applied
separately for items (other than the
low-income housing credit and the
rehabilitation credit) from each PTP. Thus, a
net passive loss from a PTP may not be
deducted from other passive income.
Instead, a passive loss from a PTP is
suspended and carried forward to be applied
against passive income from the same PTP
in later years. If the partner's entire interest in
the PTP is completely disposed of, any
unused losses are allowed in full in the year
of disposition.
If you have an overall gain from a PTP,
the net gain is nonpassive income. In
addition, the nonpassive income is included
in investment income to figure your
investment interest expense deduction.
Do not report passive income, gains, or
losses from a PTP on Form 8582. Instead,
use the following rules to figure and report on
the proper form or schedule your income,
gains, and losses from passive activities that
you held through each PTP you owned
during the tax year.
1. Combine any current year income,
gains, and losses, and any prior year
unallowed losses to see if you have an
overall gain or loss from the PTP. Include
only the same types of income and losses
you would include in your net income or loss
from a non-PTP passive activity. See Pub.

Example. If you have Schedule E (Form
1040) income of $8,000, and a Form 4797,
Sales of Business Property, prior year
unallowed loss of $3,500 from the passive
activities of a particular PTP, you have a
$4,500 overall gain ($8,000 − $3,500). On
Schedule E (Form 1040), line 28, report the
$4,500 net gain as nonpassive income in
column (k). In column (h), report the
remaining Schedule E (Form 1040) gain of
$3,500 ($8,000 − $4,500). On the
appropriate line of Form 4797, report the
prior year unallowed loss of $3,500. Be sure
to enter “From PTP” to the left of each entry
space.
3. If you have an overall loss (but didn't
dispose of your entire interest in the PTP to
an unrelated person in a fully taxable
transaction during the year), the losses are
allowed to the extent of the income, and the
excess loss is carried forward to use in a
future year when you have income to offset
it. Report as a passive loss on the schedule
or form you normally use the portion of the
loss equal to the income. Report the income
as passive income on the form or schedule
you normally use.

Example. You have a Schedule E (Form
1040) loss of $12,000 (current year losses
plus prior year unallowed losses) and a Form
4797 gain of $7,200. Report the $7,200 gain
on the appropriate line of Form 4797. On
Schedule E (Form 1040), line 28, report
$7,200 of the losses as a passive loss in
column (g). Carry forward the unallowed loss
of $4,800 ($12,000 − $7,200).
If you have unallowed losses from more
than one activity of the PTP or from the same
activity of the PTP that must be reported on
different forms, you must allocate the
unallowed losses on a pro rata basis to figure
the amount allowed from each activity or on
each form.
To allocate and keep a record of the

TIP unallowed losses, use Parts VII, VIII,

and IX of Form 8582. List each
activity of the PTP in Part VII. Enter the
overall loss from each activity in column (a).
Complete Part VII, column (b), according to
its instructions. Multiply the total unallowed

4. If you have an overall loss and you
disposed of your entire interest in the PTP to
an unrelated person in a fully taxable
transaction during the year, your losses
(including prior year unallowed losses)
allocable to the activity for the year are not
limited by the passive loss rules. A fully
taxable transaction is one in which you
recognize all your realized gain or loss.
Report the income and losses on the forms
and schedules you normally use.
For rules on the disposition of an

TIP entire interest reported using the

installment method, see the
Instructions for Form 8582.

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 isn't available if you were married,
file a separate return for the year, and didn't
live apart from your spouse at all times
during the year.
Only individuals, qualifying estates, and
qualifying revocable trusts that made a
section 645 election can actively participate
in a rental real estate activity. Estates (other
than qualifying estates), trusts (other than
qualifying revocable trusts that made a
section 645 election), and corporations
cannot actively participate. Limited partners
cannot actively participate unless future
regulations provide an exception.
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 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
(MAGI) 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 MAGI (defined below) is $100,000
or less ($50,000 or less if married filing
separately), your loss is deductible up to the
maximum special allowance referred to in
the preceding paragraph. If your MAGI 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 MAGI. When MAGI is
$150,000 or more ($75,000 or more if
married filing separately), there is no special
allowance.

If you have net income subject to
recharacterization under Temporary
Regulations section 1.469-2T(f) and
Regulations sections 1.469-2(f)(5) and (6),
report such amounts according to the
Instructions for Form 8582 (or Form 8810).
If you have net income (loss), deductions,
or credits from any of the following activities,
treat such amounts as nonpassive and report
them as indicated in these instructions.
1. Working interests in oil and gas wells
if you are a general partner.
2. The rental of a dwelling unit any
partner used for personal purposes during
the year for more than the greater of 14 days
or 10% of the number of days that the
residence was rented at fair rental value.
3. Trading personal property for the
account of owners of interests in the activity.

Special rules for certain other activities.
If you have net income (loss), deductions, or

rules apply, the partnership will identify the
activity and all amounts relating to it on
Schedule K-1 or on an attached statement.

Self-charged interest. The partnership will
report any self-charged interest income or
expense that resulted from loans between
you and the partnership (or between the
partnership and another partnership or S
corporation if both entities have the same
owners with the same proportional
ownership interest in each entity). If there
was more than one activity, the partnership
will provide a statement allocating the
interest income or expense with respect to
each activity. The self-charged interest rules
do not apply to your partnership interest if the
partnership made an election under
Regulations section 1.469-7(g) to avoid the
application of these rules. See the
Instructions for Form 8582 for details.

the Partnership
Item D

If the box in item D is checked, you are a
partner in a PTP and must follow the rules
discussed earlier under Publicly traded
partnerships.

Part II. Information About
the Partner
Item E

If the partner is an individual, the partnership
will enter the partner's SSN or individual
taxpayer identification number (ITIN). For all
other partners, the partnership will enter the
partner's employer identification number
(EIN). However, if the partner is an IRA, the
partnership will enter the identifying number
of the custodian of the IRA. In the case of a
disregarded entity (DE), the partnership will
enter the TIN of the beneficial owner of the

Item J

Generally, the amounts reported in item J are
based on the partnership agreement. If your
interest commenced after the beginning of
the partnership's tax year, the partnership
will have entered, in the Beginning column,
the percentages that existed for you
immediately after admission. If your interest
terminated before the end of the
partnership's tax year, the partnership will
have entered, in the Ending column, the
percentages that existed immediately before
termination.
The ending percentage share shown on
the Capital line is the portion of the capital
you would receive if the partnership was
liquidated at the end of its tax year by the
distribution of undivided interests in the
partnership's assets and liabilities. If your
capital account is negative or zero, the
partnership will have entered zero on this
line.

The "Check if decrease is due to sale or
exchange of partnership interest" box will be
checked if you sold or exchanged all or part
of your partnership interest to a new or
pre-existing partner during this tax year,
regardless of whether you recognized gain or
loss on the transaction(s). You may have
realized a gain or loss on the transfer or
disposition of your interest. See codes AB,
AC, and AD on line 20 for items that have
special gain or loss treatment. For more
information, see Disposition of a Partner's
Interest and Partnership Distributions in Pub.
541.

Item K

Item K should show your share of the
partnership's nonrecourse liabilities,
partnership-level qualified nonrecourse
financing, and other recourse liabilities at the
beginning and the end of the partnership's
tax year. If you terminated your interest in the
partnership during the tax year, item K
should show the share that existed
immediately before the total disposition. A
partner's “recourse liability” is any
partnership liability for which a partner is
personally liable.
If this partnership invested in other
partnerships, item K will include your share
of partnership liabilities from those other
partnerships, except to the extent the
liabilities from those other partnerships are
owed to this partnership.
Use the total of the three amounts for
figuring the adjusted basis of your
partnership interest.
Generally, you may use only the amounts
shown next to “Qualified nonrecourse

amount at risk. Do not include any amounts
that are not at risk if such amounts are
included in either of these categories.
If your partnership is engaged in two or
more different types of activities subject to
the at-risk provisions, or a combination of
at-risk activities and any other activity, the
partnership should give you a statement
showing your share of nonrecourse liabilities,
partnership-level qualified nonrecourse
financing, and other recourse liabilities for
each activity.

interest. Generally, this is because a
partner's adjusted tax basis in its partnership
interest includes the partner's share of
partnership liabilities (and capital accounts
determined by using the tax basis method do
not). In addition, your partnership may not
have all the necessary information from you
to accurately figure the adjusted tax basis in
your partnership interest due to partner-level
adjustments. You are responsible for
maintaining an annual record of the adjusted
tax basis in your partnership interest as
determined under the principles and
provisions of subchapter K, including, for
example, those under sections 705, 722,
733, and 742. Regulations section
1.705-1(a)(1) provides that a partner is
required to determine the adjusted basis of
its interest in a partnership when necessary
to determine its tax liability or that of any
other person. For example, a determination
is required in ascertaining the extent to which
a partner's share of loss is allowed, when
there is a sale or exchange of all or part of a
partnership interest, and when a partner's
entire partnership interest is liquidated. The
adjusted basis of a partner's interest in a
partnership is determined without regard to
any amount shown in the partnership books
as the partner's “capital,” “equity,” or similar
account.

Part III. Partner's Share of
Current Year Income,
Deductions, Credits, and
Other Items

DRAFT AS OF
November 24, 2021
Qualified nonrecourse financing secured
by real property used in an activity of holding
real property that is subject to the at-risk
rules is treated as an amount at risk.
Qualified nonrecourse financing generally
includes financing for which no one is
personally liable for repayment that is
borrowed for use in an activity of holding real
property and that is loaned or guaranteed by
a federal, state, or local government or
borrowed from a “qualified” person.

Qualified persons include any persons
actively and regularly engaged in the
business of lending money, such as a bank
or savings and loan association. Qualified
persons generally do not include related
parties (unless the nonrecourse financing is
commercially reasonable and on
substantially the same terms as loans
involving unrelated persons), the seller of the
property, or a person who receives a fee for
the partnership's investment in the real
property.
See Pub. 925 for more information on
qualified nonrecourse financing.
Both the partnership and you must meet
the qualified nonrecourse rules on this debt
before you can include the amount shown
next to “Qualified nonrecourse financing” in
your at-risk computation.
See Limitations on Losses, Deductions,
and Credits, earlier, for more information on
the at-risk limitations.

Item L

The partnership must report your beginning
capital account and ending capital account
for the year using the Tax Basis Method,
including the amount of capital you
contributed to the partnership during the
year, your share of the partnership's current
year net income or loss as computed for tax
purposes, any withdrawals and distributions
made to you by the partnership, and any
other increases or decreases to your capital
account determined in a manner generally
consistent with figuring the partner's
adjusted tax basis in its partnership interest
(without regard to partnership liabilities),
taking into account the rules and principles of
sections 705, 722, 733, and 742. See the
Instructions for Form 1065 for more details.
For many reasons, your ending capital
account as reported to you by the
partnership in item L may not equal the
adjusted tax basis in your partnership

If you have contributed property with a
built-in gain or loss during the tax year, the
partnership will check the “Yes” box. Also,
the partnership will attach a statement
showing the property contributed, the date of
the contribution, and the amount of any
built-in gain or loss. A built-in gain or loss is
the difference between the FMV of the
property and your adjusted basis in the
property at the time it was contributed to the
partnership. If you contributed more than 10
properties on a single date during the tax
year, the statement may instead show the
number of properties contributed on that
date, the total amount of built-in gain, and the
total amount of built-in loss.
The partnership is providing this for your
information. Contributions of property with a
built-in gain or loss could affect a partner's
tax liability (in matters concerning
precontribution gain or loss, and distributions
subject to section 737), and may also affect
how the partnership allocated certain items
on your Schedule K-1. For information on
precontribution gain or loss, see the
instructions for box 20, code W. For
information on distributions subject to
section 737, see the instructions for box 19,
code B.

Item N

If you are allocated a share of section 704(c)
gain or loss, the partnership will report your
net unrecognized section 704(c) gain or loss
both at the beginning and at the end of the
partnership's tax year in item N. The
partnership can use any reasonable method
in reporting net unrecognized section 704(c)
built-in gain or loss to you. You will be

The partnership is providing this for your
information. If the partnership disposes of the
property or there are special allocations due
to depreciation, depletion, or amortization,
the partnership will report these items on
other parts of Schedule K-1.

Note. Although the partnership is reporting
the beginning and ending balances on an
aggregate net basis, it is generally required
to keep records of this information on a
property-by-property basis.

These rules do not apply to PTPs, and
their partners, for 2019 partnership tax years
and thereafter, until further notice.

The amounts shown in boxes 1 through 20
reflect your share of income, loss,
deductions, credits, and other items from
partnership business or rental activities
without reference to limitations on losses or
adjustments that may be required of you
because of:
1. The adjusted basis of your
partnership interest,
2. The amount for which you are at risk,
and
3. The passive activity limitations.
For information on these provisions, see
Limitations on Losses, Deductions, and
Credits, earlier.
Other limitations may apply to specific
deductions (for example, the section 179
expense deduction). Generally, specific
limitations apply before the at-risk and
passive loss limitations.
If you are an individual and the passive
activity rules do not apply to the amounts
shown on your Schedule K-1, take the
amounts shown and enter them on the
appropriate lines of your tax return. If the
passive activity rules do apply, report the
amounts shown as indicated in these
instructions.
If you are not an individual, report the
amounts in each box as instructed on your
tax return.
If you file your tax return on a calendar
year basis, but your partnership files a return

for a fiscal year, report the amounts on your
tax return for the year in which the
partnership's fiscal year ends. For example,
if the partnership's tax year ends in February
2022, report the amounts on your 2022 tax
return.
If you have losses, deductions, or credits
from a prior year that were not deductible or
usable because of certain limitations, such
as the basis limitations or the at-risk
limitations, take them into account in
determining your net income, loss, or credits
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 any supporting schedules,
statements, or forms attached to your return.
Instead, report the amounts on the attached
schedule, statement, or form on a
year-by-year basis.

Generally, where you report this amount on
Form 1040 or 1040-SR depends on whether
the amount is from an activity that is a
passive activity to you. If you are an
individual partner filing a 2021 Form 1040 or
1040-SR, find your situation below and
report your box 1 income (loss) as instructed,
after applying the basis and at-risk limitations
on losses. If the partnership had more than
one trade or business activity, it will attach a
statement identifying the income or loss from
each activity.
1. Report box 1 income (loss) from
partnership trade or business activities in
which you materially participated on
Schedule E (Form 1040), line 28, column (i)
or (k).
2. Report box 1 income (loss) from
partnership trade or business activities in
which you didn't materially participate, as
follows.
a. If income is reported in box 1, report

However, an amount from a rental real
estate activity isn't from a passive activity if
you were a real estate professional (defined

activity.
If the amount is either (a) a loss that isn't
from a passive activity or (b) a gain, report it
on Form 4797, line 2, column (g). Do not

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.
However, you may elect to amortize these

applicable period rather than deducting 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. The amortization period
begins with the month in which such costs
were paid or incurred.

make the election, report the current year
amortization of section 59(e) expenditures
from Part VI of Form 4562 on Schedule E
(Form 1040), line 28. If you do not make the
election, report the section 59(e)(2)
expenditures on Schedule E (Form 1040),
line 28, and figure the resulting adjustment or
tax preference item (see Form 6251,
Alternative Minimum Tax—Individuals).
Whether you deduct the expenditures or
elect to amortize them, report the amount on
a separate line on line 28, column (i), if you

on debts properly allocable to investment
property, the amount of interest you are
allowed to deduct may be limited.
For more information on the special
provisions that apply to investment interest
expense, see Form 4952 and Pub. 550,

business interest allocated to the partner for
the tax year, even if the partner is not
allowed a deduction for the allocated excess
business interest in the year of the basis

partnership interest in which the basis has
been reduced before all of the allocated
excess business interest was used, the
partner increases its basis immediately
before the sale for the amount not yet
deducted.

debt-financed distributions. The manner in
which you report such interest expense
depends on your use of the distributed debt
proceeds. If the proceeds were used in a
trade or business activity, report the interest
on Schedule E (Form 1040), line 28. In
column (a), enter the name of the partnership

earlier under Code H. Investment interest
expense; otherwise, it is trade or business
interest. If you didn't materially participate in
the oil or gas activity, this interest is

the name of the partnership in column (a)
and the amount in column (i).
• Contributions to a capital construction
fund (CCF). The deduction for a CCF
investment isn't taken on Schedule E (Form
1040). Instead, you subtract the deduction
from the amount that would normally be
entered as taxable income on Form 1040 or
1040-SR, line 15. In the margin to the left of
line 15, enter "CCF" and the amount of the
deduction.
• Penalty on early withdrawal of savings.
Report this amount on Schedule 1 (Form
1040), line 18.
• Film, television, and live theatrical
production expenses. The partnership will
provide a statement that describes the film,
television, or live theatrical production
generating these expenses. Generally, if the
aggregate cost of the production exceeds

$15 million, you are not entitled to the
deduction. The limitation is $20 million for
productions in certain areas (see section 181
for details). If you didn't materially participate
in the activity, use Form 8582 to determine
the amount that can be reported on
Schedule E (Form 1040), line 28, column (g).
If you materially participated in the
production activity, report the deduction on
Schedule E (Form 1040), line 28, column (i).

basis of your interest in the partnership by
this amount.

Code B. Other tax-exempt income.
Increase the adjusted basis of your interest
in the partnership by the amount shown, but
do not include it in income on your tax return.
The partnership will attach a

TIP statement for the amount included

under code B that is exempt by
reason of section 892 and describe the
nature of the income.

Code C. Nondeductible expenses. The
nondeductible expenses paid or incurred by
the partnership are not deductible on your
tax return. Decrease the adjusted basis of
your interest in the partnership by this
amount.

Box 19. Distributions
Code A. Cash and marketable securities.
Code A shows the distributions the
partnership made to you of cash and certain
marketable securities. The marketable
securities are included at their FMV on the
date of distribution (minus your share of the
partnership's gain on the securities
distributed to you). If the amount shown as
code A exceeds the adjusted basis of your
partnership interest immediately before the
distribution, the excess is treated as gain
from the sale or exchange of your
partnership interest. Generally, this gain is
treated as gain from the sale of a capital
asset and should be reported on Form 8949
and the Schedule D for your return.
However, if you receive cash or property in
exchange for any part of a partnership
interest, the amount of the distribution
attributable to your share of the partnership's
unrealized receivable or inventory items
results in ordinary income (see Regulations
section 1.751-1(a) and Sale or Exchange of
Partnership Interest, earlier). For details, see
Pub. 541.
The partnership will separately identify
both of the following.
• The FMV of the marketable securities
when distributed (minus your share of the
gain on the securities distributed to you).
• The partnership's adjusted basis of those
securities immediately before the
distribution.

Code B. Distribution subject to section
737. If a partner contributed section 704(c)
built-in gain property within the last 7 years
and the partnership made a distribution of
property to that partner other than the
previously contributed built-in gain property,
the partner may be required to recognize
gain under section 737. This gain is in
addition to any gain recognized under
section 731 on the distribution.
When this occurs, the partnership will
enter code B in box 19 of the contributing
partner's Schedule K-1 and attach a
statement that provides the information the
partner needs to figure the recognized gain
under section 737. The partnership is
required to provide the following information.
• The FMV of the distributed property (other
than money).
• The amount of money received in the
distribution.
• The net precontribution gain of the
partner.
Using the information from the attached
statement, complete the worksheet below to
figure your recognized gain under section
737.

Partner's Inst. for Sch. K-1 (Form 1065) (2021)

gain . . . . . . . . . . . . .

7. Section 737 gain. Enter the
lesser of the amount on line 5 or
line 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The type of gain (section 1231 gain,
capital gain) generated is determined by the
type of gain you would have recognized if
you sold the property rather than contributing
it to the partnership. Accordingly, report the
amount from line 7, above, on Form 4797 or
Form 8949 and the Schedule D of your tax
return.

Code C. Other property. Code C shows
the partnership's adjusted basis of property
other than money immediately before the
property was distributed to you. In addition,
the partnership should report the adjusted
basis and FMV of each property distributed.
Decrease the adjusted basis of your interest
in the partnership by the amount of your
basis in the distributed property. Your basis
in the distributed property (other than in
liquidation of your interest) is the smaller of:
• The partnership's adjusted basis
immediately before the distribution, or
• The adjusted basis of your partnership
interest reduced by any cash distributed in
the same transaction.
If you received the property in liquidation
of your interest, your basis in the distributed
property is equal to the adjusted basis of
your partnership interest reduced by any
cash distributed in the same transaction.
If you receive cash or property in
exchange for any part of a partnership
interest, the amount of the distribution
attributable to your share of the partnership's
unrealized receivable or inventory items
results in ordinary income (see Regulations
section 1.751-1(a) and Sale or Exchange of
Partnership Interest, earlier).

partnership is reporting expenditures from
more than one activity, the attached
statement will separately identify the
expenditures from each activity.
Combine the expenditures (for Form
3468 reporting) from box 15, code E, and
box 20, code D. The expenditures related to
rental real estate activities (box 15, code E)
are reported on Schedule K-1 separately
