    if you have already reported this on a K-1, check Schedule 1 Line 8Z to see if it is already reported.  if not, here is how to report. 

     

    • Federal
    • Income and Expenses
    • Scroll down to Less Common Income and click Show More
    • Start next to Miscellaneous Income
    • Start next to Other Reportable Income
    • For description Section 988 Loss and then place a minus sign in front of the amount.
    • This will now be reported in Schedule 1 line 8Z and will be labeled as 988 Loss with the negative amount recorded.
