K-1, Alternative Investment, and Private Fund Tax Support
Help clients prepare for Schedule K-1 reporting, private fund documents, state filing questions, passive activity rules, and extension planning.
K-1 investments can affect timing, extensions, basis, passive activity limits, state filings, and estimated taxes. A CPA can review filing information and tax projections while investment selection and due diligence remain with the client and advisor.
Best fit
Clients with partnership K-1s, S-corp K-1s, private funds, real estate syndications, hedge funds, private equity, or multi-state investment reporting.
What we help clarify
Advisor and client questions this page addresses
- Will K-1s arrive after the individual filing deadline, making an extension likely?
- Do K-1s include state-source income, composite payments, withholding, or credits?
- Are losses limited by basis, at-risk, passive activity, or other rules?
- Do alternative investments create unrelated business taxable income, foreign reporting questions, or special statements?

How the review typically works

Frequently asked questions
Does Averkamp perform investment due diligence on private funds?
No. Averkamp does not recommend or diligence investments. We review tax reporting, documentation, and filing issues after the client or advisor provides investment tax documents.
Why do K-1s often delay tax filing?
Partnership and private fund tax packages may arrive after individual returns are otherwise ready, and supplemental state or activity statements may require additional review.
Can K-1 losses always offset other income?
No. Loss use can be limited by basis, at-risk rules, passive activity rules, and other tax limitations.
