Let's start with: Which K-1?  There are multiple K-1 forms for the various forms of business.  Which one are you referring? Actually, why don't you actually tell us what the line says so we don't have to go look up what you are referring to????

 This is a partnership.  Line 14 says "Self Employment earnings"  14A  has $120,000 and 14C has just over one million dollars

For 401(K) comp what lines on the K-1 do I use?

The answer is you use my outline to calc self employment comp.  You cannot trust the information on K-1 forms.

Can someone who is reading this who I sent my compensation outline recently attach it for Jim as I am in Prague and can't access the computer that has that outline.

I would love a copy, too to see how it compares to the one my TPA uses. Thank you!

Hope you are enjoying Prague!  Couple of questions if I may ...

1)  Would you never use amounts that are code B or C on line 14 to compute plan compensation?

2)  LLP was issuing K-1 to partner X until 2016.  In 2017 they issue K-1 to partner X living trust using partner X SSN.  Can we treat this as partner X SE earnings?  We are confirming whether the amounts are reflected on X' Form 1040.

Thanks!

Sorry, but it just will take too much work to analyze the issue when I am not in the office. Having said that, I want the accountant to provide me the Schedule SE and explain where all the input numbers came from. If the values PROPERLY belong on the Schedule SE, then I think they will be included in the determination, but the question I can't answer is whether they are correctly included in the SE.

Thanks Larry, that's very helpful!  Maybe you can provide a quick response without analysing the issue at depth:  plan sponsored by partnership excludes union employees.  One of the partners receives W-2 as a union employee but he also receives K-1 income.  I am assuming his K-1 amount can be treated as eligible income for calculating plan compensation.  Am I missing something?

First of all, he shouldn't have a W-2; if he'a a partner, IRS says he can't also be a W-2 employee (unless it occurred BEFORE he became a partner). There is citation for this.

But, if there is a W-2 and a K-1, they get aggregated (with the K-1 income being adjusted as appropriate for net SE income).
