I have a pass through company that is invested in 3 other LLC's.  I received K-1's totaling loss of -225,712 and had a distribution of 2,352.  on the Schedule L i have Cash at end of year 2,352, since i did not make any distributions to the partners.  the beginning cash balance was 0.  I collected 236,000 which is in other investments.  So, my total assets are sitting at 238,352.  the partners' capital account is at 10,288.  I dont know what i inputted wrong where, but it says the balance sheet iss out of balance by 228,064.  Can anyone point out what i am doing wrong?

Fine, except you stated you collected 236,000 making the total assets 238,052 so, without distributions, something on the liabilities/capital side needs to increase, most likely the capital account as no distributions were made.

It almost looks like your capital account needs to be increased by the amount your balance sheet is out of balance (i.e., 228,064) - at least something on the liabilities and capital side. Did you make a distribution to your members?

I did not.  the distributions were made to the partnership from the 3 investments the partnership is a part of, but i did not make any distributions since the amount was small.  i made sure all of the capital accounts of the shareholders was correct.
