Basically, this exception applies if the entity has:  \n-No foreign activity, or the activity is limited to the passive category (Forms 1099-DIV, etc. ) and there is $300 or less of foreign taxes paid.  \n-All owners are U.S. citizens or resident aliens.  \n-All owners have been advised , by the due date of the entity return, they will not receive a Schedule K-3 unless they request it , and  \n-No owner has requested a Schedule K-3 prior to one month before the entity files its timely tax return.  \nThe SMALL ENTITY FILING EXCEPTION , as of May 2025, says the Schedules K-2/K-3 do not have to be issued if the entity meets the small entity provision for not having to include a balance sheet with the tax return and certain Schedule K-1 information.  \nPartnership – A “small partnership” for this purpose is a partnership that meets the provisions found on Form 1065, Schedule B, question 4. These provisions are:  \n-The partnership’s total receipts for the tax year were less than $250,000 .  \n-The partnership’s total assets at the end of the tax year were less than $1 million.  \n-Schedules K-1 are filed with the return and furnished to the partners on or before the due date (including extensions) for the partnership return.  \n-The partnership isn’t filing and isn’t required to file Schedule M-3.  \nThe partners must receive notification from the partnership no later than the date the partnership furnishes Schedules K-1 to the partners. The notice can be provided as an attachment to Schedules K-1. The notification must state that partners won’t receive Schedules K-3 from the partnership unless the partners request the schedule.  \nS corporations-A small S corporation does not have to complete Schedule K-2s, except for those shareholders who request them.  \nA “small S corporation” for this purpose is a S corporation that meets the provisions found on Form 1120-S, Schedule B, question 11. These provisions are:  \n-The S corporation’s total receipts for the tax year were less than $250,000 .  \n-The S corporation’s total assets at the end of the tax year were less than $250,000 .  \n-Schedules K-1 are filed with the return and furnished to the shareholders on or before the due date (including extensions) for the S corporation return.  \n-The S corporation isn’t filing and isn’t required to file Schedule M-3.  \nThe shareholders must receive notification from the S corporation at the latest when the S corporation furnishes Schedules K-1 to the shareholders. The notice can be provided as an attachment to Schedules K-1. The notification must state that shareholders won’t receive Schedules K-3 from the S corporation unless the shareholders request the schedule.  \nThis text has been shared courtesy of Ashwaubenon Tax Professionals and David & Mary Mellem, EAs.  \nWe ask that no reproduction of this article take place without the express written consent of Ashwaubenon Tax Professionals, 2140 Holmgren Way, Suite 1040, Green Bay, WI 54304.  \nWe do not sell, give, or in any way share email addresses with anyone.
