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

of days in the tax year representing the denominator. The
resulting ratio should be multiplied by the PA and non-PA
income and losses by class shown on page one of the
PA-20S/PA-65 Information Return. This figure is then
multiplied by the shareholder’s stock ownership percentage
to determine the PA Schedule RK-1 income and losses by
class.
PARTNERSHIPS ONLY
RESIDENCY PERIOD
A resident partner reports income based upon residency
status at year-end and does not prorate the income. The
partnership must submit a separate PA-20S/PA-65 Schedule
RK-1 for each individual partner if during the partnership’s
taxable year the partner was:
A Pennsylvania resident at the close of the taxable year;
Deceased and a Pennsylvania resident at the time of
death during the taxable year; and/or
A Pennsylvania resident at the close of business on the
day during the taxable year that the partner sold,
exchanged, disposed of, liquidated, or redeemed their
entire interest in the partnership.
NOTE: Income is considered earned on the final day
of the tax year. If the partner is a resident on the last
day of the year, they will receive a PA-20S/PA-65 Schedule
RK-1. The Partner can claim out-of-state credit on income
taxed elsewhere.
The department will not accept PA Schedules RK-1 and
NRK-1 in CD rom format. Please reference Informational
Notice PIT 2013-02. Schedules RK-1 and NRK-1 submitted
in this format will not be processed and the entity may be
subject to the $250 non-filer penalty that applies for each
missing PA Schedule RK-1 and NRK-1.
An amended PA-20S/PA-65 Information Return and an
amended PA-20S/PA-65 Schedule RK-1 for each owner
must be filed to correct any error on or reflect any change to
the original PA-20S/PA-65 Information Return, whether or
not an amended federal Form 1120S or federal Form 1065
was filed for that year.
To amend an original PA-20S/PA-65 Schedule RK-1, use a
blank schedule for the tax year to be amended and fill in the
“Amended Schedule” oval at the top of the schedule. Do not
send a copy of the original schedule. Complete the schedule
by entering the corrected information and submit it with the
amended PA-20S/PA-65 Information Return. See Where To
File in the PA-20S/PA-65 Information Return instructions.
IMPORTANT: When submitting an amended RK-1, the
amended PA-20S/PA-65 Information Return must
accompany it.
FOREIGN ADDRESS STANDARDS
If the PA S corporation, partnership or entity formed as a
limited liability company that is classified as a partnership or
PA S corporation for federal income tax purposes is located
outside the U.S., it is important to write the foreign address
on the PA-20S/PA-65 Schedule RK-1 according to U.S.
Postal Service standards.
Failure to use these standards may delay processing or
correspondence necessary to complete the processing of
the return.
To comply with foreign address standards, use the following

corporations in other states.
The statement must include the entity’s name, entity’s
federal employer identification number, tax year, owner
name(s), and owner tax identification number(s).
IMPORTANT: See PA-20S/PA-65 Schedule OC
instructions for which credits must be applied to
corporate tax liability prior to being passed through to the
entity’s owners. C corporation owners cannot claim credit for
taxes paid to other states.
DISTRIBUTIONS FROM PARTNERSHIPS
Noncorporate shareholders and partners should use
amounts from PA-20S/PA-65 Schedule RK-1, Section IV
through Section VII to determine or calculate owner’s basis.
Partners include Line 12 in net classified income on their
Pennsylvania tax returns.
DISTRIBUTION OF CASH, MARKETABLE SECURITIES
AND PROPERTY NOT INCLUDING GUARANTEED
PAYMENTS
Enter the partner’s share of distribution of cash, marketable
securities and property, other than guaranteed payments.
With respect to liquidating property distributions, this line will
include the total of cash and the fair market value of
marketable securities and property distributed to the
Pennsylvania resident partner.
The partner reduces his basis in the partnership by amount
of distributions. If the distribution amount is in excess of
basis, it must be reported on the resident partner’s return as
taxable gain on PA-20S/PA-65 Schedule D.
GUARANTEED PAYMENTS FOR CAPITAL
OR OTHER SERVICES
Enter the partner’s share of guaranteed payments for capital
or other services.
Pennsylvania does not follow federal treatment for
guaranteed payments for services. Under Pennsylvania tax
law, to the extent paid for other services or for the use of
capital, a guaranteed payment is:
A withdrawal proportionately from the capital of all
partners;
A gain from the disposition of the recipient’s partnership
interest and a loss from the disposition of the other
partners’ partnership interests, to the extent derived from
the capital of the other partners; and
A return of capital by the recipients to the extent derived
from their own capital.
Pennsylvania allows the deduction.
ALL OTHER GUARANTEED PAYMENTS
FOR SERVICES RENDERED
Enter the partner’s share of such payments. Typically,
guaranteed payments to partners are paid to the extent the
services are rendered directly in the production of income
from a business, profession or farm, and/or from rental or
royalty income.
NOTE: The partner must know the class of income
from which the partnership made the guaranteed
payments. The partner must then properly classify the
payments on their PA-40 Individual Income Tax Return.
IMPORTANT: If the total guaranteed payment includes
more than one of the income classes described below,
the partnership must provide a statement to the partners
showing the amounts for each line.
For Pennsylvania personal income tax purposes,
guaranteed payments are classified as follows:
If services are rendered directly in the production of
income from a business, profession, or farm, the
guaranteed payments are gross income from that
income class.
If services are rendered directly in the production of
rental or royalty income, the guaranteed payments are
gross income from that income class.
HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNTS (HSA)
Contributions by a partnership to a bona fide partner’s HSA
are not contributions by an employer. The contributions are
treated as a distribution of money and are not included in
the partner’s income.
Contributions by a partnership to a partner’s HSA for
services rendered, however, are treated as guaranteed
payments that are deducted by the partnership and included
in the partner’s income. In both situations, the partnership
can deduct the contribution made to the partner’s HSA.
Contributions to a nonresident partner’s HSA for services
must be apportioned.
Contributions by an S corporation to a 2 percent
shareholder-employee’s HSA for services rendered are
deducted by the S corporation as wage or salary expense
and included in the shareholder-employee’s gross
compensation. The shareholder-employee can deduct the
contribution made to the shareholder-employee’s HSA.
GUARANTEED PAYMENTS TO RETIRED PARTNER
Guaranteed payments to a retired partner must meet the
exception described in IRC §1402(a)(10).
Generally, retirement payments received by a retired partner
from a partnership (of which he or she is a member or former
member) are counted as net earnings from self-employment.
Certain periodic payments by a partnership to a retired
partner made on account of retirement under a written plan
of partnership are excluded from the tax. To be effective, the

plan must meet such requirements as are prescribed by Reg
§1.1402(a)-17. It must apply to partners generally or to a
class or classes of partners, and provide such payments at
least until the retired partner's death.
The exclusion applies to retirement payments received by a
retired partner only if he or she renders no services in any

NONTAXABLE INCOME (LOSS) IN OWNER’S BASIS
NONTAXABLE INCOME (LOSS) OR
NONDEDUCTIBLE EXPENSES REQUIRED
TO CALCULATE OWNER’S BASIS
The difference between federal and Pennsylvania
depreciation should not be included on this line. Line 16 is
based on permanent nontaxable income or nondeductible
expenses in calculating Pennsylvania taxable income. This
amount is generally not the same amount reported on the
PA-20S/ PA-65 Information Return, Section IV, Line 12
because Line 12 should include non-permanent items.
Submit a statement that includes the entity’s name, entity’s
federal employer identification number and tax year. Provide
a breakdown of all nontaxable income earned and all
nondeductible expenses not taken. This amount should only
include permanent differences needed to calculate the
owner’s basis in the entity. If reporting a loss, fill in the oval.
The entity provides the owners with this information so the
owners can calculate their basis. Examples of nontaxable
income are tax-exempt interest, gifts, inheritance, loan
proceeds, insurance proceeds and federal tax refunds.
Examples of non-deductible expenses are partner's
retirement contributions, partner's life and health
insurance premiums.
These items may be listed on federal Form 1120S Schedule
K as “Items Affecting Shareholder Basis” and on federal
Form 1065 Schedule K as “Other Information.”
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

outside Pennsylvania basis in the entity, taking into
consideration distributions that may exceed their
ownership interests.

determining Business Income (Loss) from Operations and/or
Rental Income (Loss).
