Welcome to Building Passive Income with CREI Collin and Tax Pro Tina

You received your K-1. Now what? In this episode, CREI Collin and Tax Pro Tina walk you through your post-K-1 action plan: when to expect K-1s, how to review them for accuracy, how to organize multiple K-1s, when to send them to your CPA, how to handle amended or late K-1s, and how to track your passive loss carryforwards. This is the follow-up to Episode 12—and it’s essential listening for every passive investor.

  • How to handle amended K-1s and late K-1s (extensions and Form 1040-X)
  • How to track your passive loss carryforwards year over year

Key Takeaways: ✅ Expect K-1s by mid-March (some sponsors file extensions until September 15th)

✅ Review each K-1 for accuracy: verify personal info, compare to prior year, look for red flags

✅ Organize multiple K-1s with digital folders and a tracking spreadsheet

✅ Wait until you have ALL K-1s before sending to your CPA (send by mid-March if possible)

✅ Amended/late K-1s happen—contact your CPA immediately and file extension if needed

✅ Track your passive loss carryforwards annually—this is your “tax shield”

✅ Update your tracking spreadsheet every year and review with your CPA
