If your small business receives a K-1 for an investment, follow these straightforward steps to adjust your Investment Account (Long-Term Asset) in QuickBooks. This will ensure the net income and other items from the K-1 are properly reflected. Once completed, the Investment Account balance will match the Ending Capital reported on the K-1. 

Interest, dividends, and expenses that impact the gain or loss on an investment are reflected on the K-1. Book them by offsetting to Gain or Loss on the Investment Account.
