K-1 Distribution - Taxpayer Instructions

Part of the taxpayer experience is the review and distribution of K-1s.  The K-1 packages can be distributed by the taxpayer that the return was delivered to, or by the firm if the setting for it is enabled.

 Note:

  • The taxpayer can only distribute K-1s after the return has been signed.
  • The taxpayer will receive an email notification if the K-1 recipient declines to consent to receive the document(s) electronically.
