S-Corp K-1 Loss Not Limited by Form 7203

Hi,

I am preparing an individual return who should have their loss from their S-Corp K-1 limited since the K-1 loss exceeds their stock and debt basis on Form 7203. The loss allowed should be $68,449 (the Form 7203 Part III col (c) and (d) amounts) but the Schedule E still shows a loss of $81,178. Is there a way for the loss on the return to shown the $68,449 limited loss instead of the full $81,178 loss?

ProSeries does not apply the basis limitation.

You need to manually limit the loss entered.

The K-1 worksheet and the 7203 don't get along together very well so they don't talk to each other.  You need to enter the limited loss on the K-1 worksheet instead of the full loss.
