Oil & Gas Royalty

I am working with a new client who has Oil & Gas Royalties. I understand that I need a Schedule E for each company. However, I have a copy of the previous year's tax record and I do not see how the numbers add up to what was on the form provided. There is several years of depletion with a negative "less carryover to future year". I do see where to put the "other deductions" and "production taxes". How do I get the "depletion" amount. Is there a worksheet I am missing? Thank you for your assistance. I have never had a client with Oil & Gas Royalties.

And there are limits on how much may be deductible. Hence the carryover you see on last year's return.

You manually calculate it at 15% of revenue and enter it.

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

"I need a Schedule E for each company"

Company they run, or company that pays them?

Did your taxpayer get multiple 1099-Misc? Do they have lease (rent) payments, working interest, royalties, overriding royalties? More than one property or property type?

If you are completely new to this, I found a nice starter article:

The client is paid royalties from a company under "Oil & Gas Royalty". I think I have it figured out now. Thank you for the article.
