Target Allocations

Describe your idea. The more information you provide, the clearer picture of your idea we will have.

Some partnerships use target allocations to allocate income. Essentially, they calculate allocations as if a hypothetical liquidation were to occur at the end of the partnership's tax year. This is currently a largely manual process requiring creation of an Excel workpaper in year 1 and manually plugging ending GL values into it thereafter.

How will this idea help you and potentially others? Understanding how things are done today, where the pain is, and how the idea is beneficial puts us in your shoes.

Allowing users to build their own calculation in K-1 Navigator and use it to create an allocation code would eliminate the need for an outside workpaper, house the calculation in the same tool used for K-1 production and automatically apply the allocation code to Schedule K values.

Who will benefit from this idea? Whether it's specific roles of users, users of a specific product, or certain departments/markets, this helps us know who to talk to when we need more information.

All users working on partnerships that use target allocations.

How do you envision this idea being implemented at K1x? You're the expert and understanding how you see this working helps kickstart the idea.

  • Allow user to build calculation "rules"

  • Use calculation results to create an allocation code

  • Set target allocation code as default, automatically applying it to Scenario Builder line items
