At the moment, it is not possible to generate the K-1 form using any QuickBooks product. However, you can directly download the form from the IRS website. After downloading the form, run financial reports on your account and use the information to manually process the form.

Here is the link where you can download the form: https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs-search?search=k1

What financial reports will be needed & what details are useful for completing a K1?

Level 4

@candice0517 A K-1 is a form resulting from the preparation of an 1120S (S-Corporation) or 1065 (Partnership) income tax return.

While you could technically prepare one without doing said income tax returns, by the time you had the necessary information, you'd do just as well to do the return and generate the K-1s.

At any rate, the relevant details are usually as follows:

P&L for the correct year

% of ownership and other relevant %s

As necessary for the 199A, the profit, depreciation basis, and wages for the officers in question

Various other bits and bobs

Really though, whoever you have doing your business return should be able to provide the K1s without issue.
