Creating Custom Statements
The Statements tool allows users to build custom documents to include in their K-1 packages—everything from cover letters to explanatory footnotes and supplemental detail.
The Statements tool allows users to build custom documents to include in their K-1 packages—everything from cover letters to explanatory footnotes and supplemental detail.
There are two levels of templates available:
-
Project-level templates: Useful when similar content will be included across all entities in the project. These support limited customization options.
-
Entity-level templates: Designed for situations that require greater flexibility. The entity-level template builder includes a suite of tools to help tailor statements to your needs:
-
Tokenization – Use dynamic placeholders to insert key data (such as investor name, tax ID, or allocation amounts) into the output for each recipient.
-
Table builder – Add tables to organize detailed information within the statement.
-
Formatting options – Apply text styling, page breaks, and more to control the structure and appearance of the output.
-
Image uploads – Click Manage Attachments, locate image files, and click Upload. Once uploaded, you can insert them into your statements using the Images dropdown in the editor.
-
You can also return calculated allocated values to investors within their statements using plain text syntax:
Choose the desired allocation code followed by the amount you wish to allocate in parentheses.
For example: [AB](100000) will dynamically pull in each investor’s allocated amount for allocation code AB.
Statements can be associated with K-1 line items, in which case they’ll be automatically included in the final K-1 package and grouped accordingly. As of the April release, this association is only supported for federal K-1 line items. Users can still include statements manually with K-3s. The ability to associate statements with lines from any jurisdiction will be added in a future release.
Alternatively, users can create stand-alone statements and decide their placement manually when configuring the K-1 package output.
Statements can also be associated with specific investors. When included in a package, those investor-specific statements will appear only in the recipient’s copy of the output.
