pmacduff Posted March 6 Posted March 6 I can't believe in all my years of administration I've never run into this before, but here's the situation: LLC that had owners with W-2 wages in 2023 (and prior) decided in 2024 to put the owners on K-1 income. This Company traditionally fails the ADP-ACP testing. Accountant gave us preliminary K-1 information so that we can at least run preliminary 2024 testing and determine refunds prior to 03/15. We'll then make adjustments when the final K-1 info is available, and the client will have to pay excise tax on any late refunds. Am I missing anything? I guess because 99% of my K-1 and Sch C clients are safe harbor I haven't run into this ever before. I can't believe it's very common, though, is it? Thoughts?

Was this a change in how the entity was taxed, switching from S-corp to partnership? Otherwise, what is the basis for this? Anyway, yes, you handle like you would any sole prop or partnership in that regard. Kenneth M. Prell, CEBS, ERPA Vice President, BPAS Actuarial & Pension Services kprell@bpas.com
pmacduff Posted March 6 Author Posted March 6 I'm not an Accountant, but I believe that an LLC owner or owners can change from W-2 to K-1. Much like our industry however, I don't believe they can switch back and forth.
