My client has royalty income from a trust.  Where is depletion reported? And what are the steps in proconnect to get the deduction in the right place on the proper form?

    Same place as the royalty income. Schedule E page 1.

    Your client has a Form 1041 Sch K-1, reporting oil & gas royalty income (probably as a component of Line 5)? Use the O&G input section.

     

    Your client has a publicly traded investment in something called a royalty trust? Ask them to give you the five bazillion page booklet explaining how to calculate all the numbers. It tells you exactly what line everything should show up on.

    When I include depletion on Sch E part 1 as suggested, the depletion is limited due to passive activity loss limitations while the income is not allowed as an offset.  Why? Seems that the royalty income should appear on Sch E page 2, Part III and the depletion should be a deduction in that same area.

    There should be a box to check, or similar, to get the Royalty income on Schedule E page 1.

    If I check the box, the depletion amount  gets added to the 8582 as a passive loss while the royalty income is not characterized as passive income such that depletion would be fully deductible.
