Common mistakes

  • Skipping required schedules. All partnerships must complete the applicable portions of Schedule FACT, as well as Schedule K and Schedule KP.
  • Leaving partners out of Schedule KP. Complete columns 1 through 5 for all partners. Complete column 6 for nonresident partners and tax-exempt organization partners. Columns 7 and 8 apply only to nonresident partners, when applicable.
  • Assuming “nonresident partner” means only an individual. The form reminds filers that the definition includes entities other than individuals and refers them to the instructions.
  • Overlooking property tax clearance. All taxpayers must read this section of Schedule K. It must be completed when claiming a deduction or credit on line 4, 5, 7a, 7b, 7c, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12a, 13, 15a, 20 or 21. Attach completed Property Tax Clearance Records from each county identified.
