Couple of questions from the simulation below.
1) Could somebody walk me through how this flows from a filing perspective? Does this all end up in Cartwright's 1040 or does the portion that is shown on the K-1 go some other form? He is employed by a C Corp which he owns, owns 50% of an S Corp, and 10% of an LLP.
2) In the answer for what he lists as interest income, the answer is $6200. But what happens to the profits of the corporation that he owns 100% of, including its $50,000 of Interest Income? Is this all on form 1120?

Brian Cartwright is a single taxpayer who itemizes deductions and has no dependents. In 20X5, he earned wages of $200,000 from Brandise Corporation, a newly-formed C Corporation of which he is the sole shareholder and only employee. Brandise is not considered to be a personal service corporation or a personal holding company.

In addition, since 20X2 Brian has owned a 50% interest in Technology Plus, Inc., an S Corporation from which he was paid a salary and received distributions in 20X5 (each paid according to the ratio of ownership). Brian is also a 10% limited partner in Wonderland Resorts, a limited liability partnership, which paid him no distributions in 20X5 and in which he had a $300,000 basis at 12/31/X4.



Technology Plus, Inc. and Wonderland Resorts, LLP each issued Brian a K-1 for the tax year 20X5 (detail provided below). Brian also received 1099s for taxable interest income from banks in the amount of $3,500 and $15,000 in gambling winnings from a casino.
In addition, Brian owns a fully-depreciated residential rental unit that had income of $25,000 and deductible expenses of $20,000. There are no passive loss carryforward amounts.

Brian made no pension or IRA contributions of any kind for the year 20X5 and does not plan to do so. He had verifiable gambling losses of $27,000 and is not considered a professional gambler. In 20X4, Brian created a long-term capital loss carryforward from the sale of stock in the amount of $35,000.

Details related to 100% of the activity in Brian’s investment holdings follows:

2) Capital Gain / Loss: ($3,000)
3) Income from Real Estate: $1,000
Net Rental $5K + Technology Plus Inc $10K x 50% - Section 179 expense $6K x 50% - Wonderland Resorts $6K

GVen--

It's hard for me to see the numbers you pasted in as they're all coming up as "&nbs p" symbols.

I will say this: C Corps are not pass-through entities so there would be no form on which the net profit is reported to the shareholder's, nor are there any seperately stated items.

For the S-Corp and the LLP, the net profits as well as seperate stated items (to the extent of ownership %, and basis if we're talking losses) are reported to the owner on form K-1; and the K-1 is included on schedule E (I think) of the individual's 1040. 

Does that help?
