How can I make K1 income not passive?

Folks:

Client is a consultant, operating through an S Corp.  Client's SEP IRA contribution deduction is disallowed because she has no self-employment income.  But she does--all the money coming from the K-1.

Maybe Lacerte is treating the income as passive?  Is there something I have to do in the S Corp module (generating the K-1) to make the income count so that there can be an offset for teh retirement contributi9on?  Or in the Individual model?

Thanks.

Micah

    SEP IRA deduction would be taken on the S-Corp return, and based on the W-2 wages.

    NOT on the F.1040

    Ah.  In that case, would you mind sharing how that is done?  Is it just a deduction in Pensions and Profit-Sharing Plans (and if there are multiple people doing voluntary contributions, do you not distinguish how much each person contributed?)

    A SEP is an employer-funded plan. All covered W-2 employees get the same percentage.
