Next year, you'll complete Form 8990 and repeat in future years until you can claim all the excess business interest expense. This is a complicated issue that may or may not be worth your effort. You may wish to consult a local tax professional with partnership experience to advise you how to proceed.

If you are able to deduct the business interest expense reported on Schedule K-1, the expense may reduce your taxable income.

According to IRS Instructions for Form 1065 Schedule K-1 Box 13 Code K. Excess business interest expense (EBIE): "If the partnership reports EBIE to the partner, the partner is required to file Form 8990. See the Instructions for Form 8990 for additional information."

Form 8990 is used to figure the amount of business interest expense you can deduct and the amount to carry forward to the next year. This form is not supported by TurboTax. You'll need to use this IRS link to download the form and complete it manually. To include it with return, you will need to print and mail your federal tax return.

Thank you, Patricia. If I use the form 8990 to carryforward business interest expense to the next year, how can I use this business interest expense carryforward to deduct my tax next year? Can you please explain? Thank you!
