The K-1 schedule shows where to put each item on Form 1040. Estates and trusts report income, deductions and credits to beneficiaries on a Schedule K-1 Form 1041. Beneficiaries must report the K-1 income on Form 1040, where it is included in total income and taxed accordingly.

How is a Schedule K-1 tax form different from a 1041?
Whenever a beneficiary receives a distribution of income, the trust or estate reports a deduction for the same amount on its 1041.

The Schedule K-1 is slightly different depending on whether it comes from a trust, partnership or S corporation.
When do I get my business K-1 form?
Since businesses need more time to file their tax returns, the K-1 isn’t due until March 15th, but by now you should receive your K-1 so you can finish filing your taxes. If you actually own the business, you can prepare your own K-1 when you prepare your business taxes and then file your K-1 with your personal taxes.
