Importing 1040 Passthrough Activity From Another Return
You can import Fiduciary, Partnership, and S Corporation passthrough information that has been exported to a Microsoft® Excel® file from another return. The data that is exported is formatted as a template and can be imported in a rolled forward 1040 Individual return.
Passthrough data is imported in the following worksheets:
- Income > Sch E, p2 - Fiduciary Passthrough
- Income > Sch E, p2 - Partership Passthrough
- Income > Sch E, p2 - Large Partnership Passthrough
- Income > Sch E, p2 - S Corporation Passthrough
