Expert: John Stancil, CPA - 11/5/2009

Question
I have a few questions in filling out Schedule K-1 (1065):

Part II L: Partner's capital account.

beginning capital account: Would this be what is in the checking account for our management LLC at beginning of year?
Ending Cap account: " " at end of year.

Is it that simple?

If 2 members in the partnership (my wife and I) the amount would be divided by 2.

Do I check Tax basis or ?

Thanks
Jeff

Answer
Jeff,

Thanks for your question.

The cash account is an asset. The capital balance is the amount invested in the company by the owners. Back to day one of accounting: Assets - Liabilities = Owner's Capital

Hope this helps.
