K-1 tax loss question

K-1 tax loss question

************************

My wife and I are partners in a small biz. that made a loss last year. We are 50%- 50% partners. We use IRS form 1065 for this business normally.

In the past we always had profits so I was never faced with this situation.

Questions...

1.Should I transfer 50% of the loss to each of our K-1's? Is that how it works?

2.From the K-1s should I transfer the amount (loss) to the 1040 package?

So if the total loss was $10,000, will this 10,000 loss show up in line 17 of the 1040 form?

Please let me know.

Thanks, Irfan Smith
