I have a new partnership client that reported loss last year. Since I did nor prepare their return last year, how can I add it to this year? Is it added to the Partnership return? or to the partners personal taxes?

See if you can reconcile the partners capital accounts for last year. Any loss on the 1065 should have ended up on the K-1s. 

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

Isn't that going to only apply to their capital balances? So they are not able to use it against this year profit?

Nope. All partnership items pass through to the partners on their K-1s. It's a flow through entity. Partnerships do not have NOLs.

The more I know the more I don’t know.
