Tax 101: The Anatomy of a K-1

Have you ever wondered what a K-1 form is and why it’s important for filing taxes? For a fund manager, understanding a K-1 is crucial. The K-1 provides detailed information about a partner’s share of a partnership’s income, deductions, credits, and other tax-related items. Fund managers often deal with investments that involve partnerships, such as hedge funds, real estate funds, or private equity funds. These investments generate K-1s, as the investors are considered partners in the fund. By understanding the K-1, a fund manager can accurately assess the tax implications of these investments for the fund itself and for the individual partners. This knowledge can help the fund manager make more informed decisions about the allocation of fund resources and investment strategies, ultimately leading to enhanced fund performance and investor satisfaction.

In this video, Richey May’s tax expert, Gareth Chatkin, breaks down all the details of a Schedule K-1 and everything you need to know to benefit your taxes.
