Some common K-1 Mistakes are given below: 

  1. Misapplied waterfall logic: This increases the likelihood of errors and inconsistencies in returns, interests, and catch-ups.
     
  2. Mid-Year partner changes: Mid-year partner changes result in failure to see the entry and exit dates lead which results in incorrect allocations and misreporting. 
     
  3. Doing Manual Data entry: If you have filled out your application details manually, then it can result in transcription errors and versioning conflicts. 
     
  4. Outdated ownership: Not filing the latest or current distributions and tax reporting on outdated ownership information. 
     
  5. Tax basis and Capital account mismatch: Incorrect information on the capital accounts and tax basis, which can lead to deductibility and capital loss recognition.
