Question

Do you have to do anything with a AJ in box 20 of a K1 when the figures are on the front of the K1?

I'll round figures to make this question easier.. I have a client that has a loss of -$5000  (1)in Ordinary and in(14a) -5000 self employed boxes plus box 14 also has  C  2000.     box 10 has a -18000      My main question is in the other information box states AJ statement.. and with you look at it on the back.  it states the aggregate business acitivity was -8000. and the aggregate business gross income was 3000   

So looking at it the income matches the front with the loss off 5000    

Is there somewhere I need to enter that back information ( which really equals the front boxes?)    I do understand that box 10 is 1231 loss of 18,000 which I think has nothing to do with this question...

( none of it is interest income or interest loss)

The code AJ relates to loss limitations.  While you can enter code AJ in the screen for Box 20 in ProSeries, as you've likely noticed the program doesn't compute anything on the tax return. 

Assuming your client doesn't have other business losses aside from the round numbers reflected here, there isn't anything else you need to do.  

 

If you client has aggregate net loss that exceed $313,000 (single) or $626,000 (married filing jointly), you may need to adjust the return. 

If business loss limitations do apply adjustments must be made manually in ProSeries and supporting forms filled out manually and attached as a PDF to the return.  

Excess losses are not deductible in the the current year and are carried forward as an NOL.
