Schedule AR K-1 (Partnership) — Partner Share of Income Instructions

Official textdfa.arkansas.gov

# What's New for 2025

The column order has been switched to more align with various income tax forms. The first column (a) now represents the total amounts reported to Arkansas resident members, while the second column (b) represents the apportioned/allocated amounts sourced to Arkansas. For more information, see Part III.
Schedule AR K-1 uses two columns to distinguish between resident and nonresident reporting requirements.

  • Column (a) - Resident Total: For Arkansas residents. Enter the full distributive share of each item, including amounts from other states.
    • Column (b) - Arkansas Source: For non-residents and part-year residents. Enter only the portion allocated or apportioned to Arkansas.

Example: An entity with $100,000 of income apportions 30% to Arkansas. Two equal owners (one resident, one nonresident) each hold 50%.

  • Resident reports $50,000 in Column (a), Box 1a.
    • Nonresident reports $15,000 in Column (b), Box 1b ($100,000 × 50% × 30%).

Apply this column structure to all items in Part III. Residents report Arkansas-adjusted totals; nonresidents and part-year resident individuals, partnerships, and corporations report only Arkansas-source amounts.
Other Useful Information (Preparers and AR K-1 Recipients) The AR K-1 reports each member's distributive share of income, loss, deductions, credits, and other items from a pass through entity with activity in Arkansas. It is the member's primary record for properly reporting Arkansas taxable amounts on the member's own return and for documenting adjustments required under Arkansas law. Keep the AR K-1 with your tax records and use it to complete the Arkansas return and any schedules that require item level detail.
Box 20b - Arkansas withholding or other payments. Your pass through entity may have remitted tax on your behalf. Box 20b reports your share of: (1) Arkansas withholding paid with a withholding pass through filing on Form AR941PT, (2) tax paid through an income composite return for eligible nonresident members (AR1000-CR), and/or (3) taxes the entity paid if it elected to file and pay under the pass through entity tax (AR1100PET). These amounts are reported for transparency, but they are not all treated the same on an individual return:

  • May be claimed as Arkansas withholding on an individual return: Amounts withheld from a withholding pass through return filing and tax paid from an income composite tax filing (AR1000-CR), to the extent attributable to you.
  • May not be claimed as Arkansas withholding: Any tax paid by an entity that elected to file and pay income tax on AR1100PET. Members of a PET electing entity may exclude the applicable pass through income on their individual Arkansas return, but they cannot claim their share of PET paid as Arkansas withholding.
  • AR1099PT: The same rules apply to reported income tax withheld/paid on Form AR1099PT. While income tax paid on AR1100PET cannot be claimed for withholding, it is useful information for federal tax purposes and/or other state filing purposes.

Review the AR K-1 carefully and retain underlying statements that show how each amount was determined. Enter the items from the AR K-1 on your Arkansas return as instructed to ensure your return refiects the correct Arkansas income, deductions, credits, and payments.
