Which of the following is a 'separately stated item' on a Partnership Schedule K-1?

Answer options:

Charitable contributions

Employee salaries (non-partners)

Rent expense

Depreciation expense (MACRS)

How to approach this question

Ask: Does this item affect different partners differently based on their personal tax situation? If yes, it's Separately Stated.

Full Answer

A.Charitable contributions✓ Correct

Items that could affect partners' tax liabilities differently must be separately stated. Charitable contributions are subject to AGI limitations at the individual partner level, so they are separately stated. Salaries, rent, and standard depreciation are part of ordinary business income.

Common mistakes

Thinking depreciation is always separately stated (only §179 is).
