What is a Schedule K-1?

A Schedule K-1 is a federal tax form issued annually by Partnerships, S Corporations, trusts, and estates to report each owner's proportionate share of the entity's income, deductions, credits, and other tax items. Partners and shareholders use the K-1 to complete their individual returns, since the entity itself generally pays no federal income tax. Businesses that leverage Depreciation and amortization or other deductions pass those benefits directly to owners via the K-1. K-1s must be issued by the entity's filing deadline or extended deadline and are essential for accurate individual tax reporting each year.
