PURPOSE OF SCHEDULE
Partnerships and S corporations use PA Schedule RK-1
to report income and losses by class of income to each
of its resident owners. A PA Schedule RK-1 is prepared
for each individual partner or shareholder showing the
share of income (losses) by class and other items
required to be reported.
Pennsylvania partners/members/shareholders (owners) who
are individuals are subject to Pennsylvania personal income
tax on their share of the entity’s income, whether or not the
income is actually distributed.
Owners who are individuals who reside in Pennsylvania are
taxed on their share of the entity’s income, regardless of the
income source.
The PA-20S/PA-65 Schedule RK-1 provides each partner/
member/shareholder (owner) and entity owner their share
of income, losses and credits from the partnership, PA S
corporation, estate, trust and/or entity formed as a limited
liability company classified as a partnership or S corporation
for federal income tax purposes.
A PA-20S/PA-65 Schedule RK-1 must be completed for every
Pennsylvania resident owner that has an ownership interest
in a partnership, S corporation, estate, trust and/or entity
formed as a limited liability company classified as a
partnership or S corporation for federal income tax purposes.
A copy of the PA-20S/PA-65 Schedules RK-1 for each
partner/member/shareholder (owner) must accompany the
entity’s PA-20S/PA-65 Information Return. Owners must
receive a copy or copies to prepare Pennsylvania tax or
information returns. The PA S corporation or partnership
must also retain a copy of all PA-20S/PA-65 Schedules RK-1
as part of the entity’s records.
In addition, a PA-20S/PA-65 Schedule RK-1 must be
completed for all resident owners that are estates, trusts,
other PA S corporations, other partnerships, and other pass
through entities. The Pennsylvania taxable income passes
through to the final taxpayer. Therefore, the immediate
partners and shareholders must know the total
Pennsylvania taxable income in the event the final owner is
a Pennsylvania resident. In the event that the final owner
is a nonresident of Pennsylvania, the owner must know
Pennsylvania source taxable income.
A partnership, S corporation or limited liability company
classified as a partnership or S corporation for federal tax
purposes (entity) that fails to file a PA-20S/PA-65, S
Corporation/Partnership Information Return may be subject
to a $250 non-filer penalty. The $250 penalty also applies
to each missing Schedule RK-1 or NRK-1.
NOTE: An entity that is the owner of another entity
receives both the PA-20S/PA-65 Schedules RK-1
and NRK-1.
PAPER RETURNS AND ELECTRONIC FILED RETURNS
The PA-20S/PA-65 Schedule RK-1 submitted with the
PA-20S/PA-65 Information Return does not need to be
issued to C corporation taxpayers unless a credit from the
PA-20S/PA-65 Schedule OC has been allocated.
Partnerships, PA S corporations, estates, trusts and/or
limited liability companies must submit PA-20S/PA-65
Schedule RK-1 with the applicable Pennsylvania tax returns.
If a C corporation taxpayer receives a PA-20S/PA-65
Schedule RK-1, the amount from Line 9, Total Other
Credits, must be reported on the appropriate Pennsylvania
tax return.
The requirements are different for PA S corporations and
partnerships to issue PA-20S/PA-65 Schedules RK-1 and/or
NRK-1 to its owners as described below.
PA S CORPORATIONS ONLY
SHAREHOLDER RESIDENCY PERIOD
A PA S corporation must submit a separate PA-20S/PA-65
Schedule RK-1 for that portion of the tax year during which
a part-year resident shareholder was a resident of
Pennsylvania. Part-year shareholders have business
income and losses prorated based upon the number of days
in the tax year these individuals are located within and
outside the state. Each shareholder’s pro rata distributive
share of total income, losses and credits reported on the
PA-20S/PA-65 Information Return determines the income
amounts for the lines that are included on the PA-20S/PA-65
Schedule RK-1. Income is allocated based on days residing
or not residing in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania considers any
day or partial day an owner has a residence or domicile
within the commonwealth to be a Pennsylvania residency
day. The owner will receive a PA-20S/PA-65 Schedule RK-1
and NRK-1 reflecting the proportionate share of income
earned while a resident and a nonresident.
In order to calculate the PA Schedule RK-1 income and losses
by class for the residency period, first determine the
proportional number of days a shareholder resided in the state.
Using the number of days a shareholder was located in the
state as the numerator, divide this figure by the total number
