Currently, K-1 Reader IDs the form received as a duplicate when the following fields are identical:
Partnership name
EIN
Partner EIN
Requesting that K1R be able, in a partnership, to have the same info in the 3 fields listed above in two different K-1s, but box G would be different -- e.g. a general partner and a limited partner at the same time -- so two separate K-1s would be recognized and uploaded and they would receive two K-1s.
There is a workaround, which is to enter the "duplicate" forms manually, but clients find this inconvenient and time-consuming. They would like K1R to be able to read Box G and, by doing so, to be able to distinguish between otherwise identical K-1 forms.
K1X is currently working to improve the usability and design of our K-1 products. Once that work is complete, we will be reviewing ideas such as this one to implement in that new experience.
