Partner distribution review Workbook
Organize partner distribution review with AE Tax Advisors’ editable workbook, evidence checklist and CSV export. Prepare the records for review.
When to use this workbook
Use this partner distribution review workbook to connect distribution form, payment record and tax workpaper question before the next review. Keep the three records distinct so a missing item is visible.
Use the partnership agreement, transaction documents and prior K-1 workpapers together. Identify the partner, affected period and responsible preparer before reconciling capital or basis.
Review checkpoint: Book capital, tax capital and outside basis serve different purposes. A matching total in one ledger does not resolve the other workpapers.
Record checks for partner distribution review
| Record | What to check |
|---|---|
| Distribution form | Use a short factual description and a reference to the underlying record. Mark missing or conflicting evidence as unresolved instead of assuming an answer. |
| Payment record | Identify the source and period behind the amount. Distinguish a quote or estimate from a posted transaction and flag any difference. |
| Tax workpaper question | Write the specific unresolved question or task, name the responsible role and record the evidence needed to close it. |
Your partner distribution review working record
Enter short notes or document references. Use aliases instead of account numbers or personal identifiers. This worksheet exports the values you enter; it does not send them to AE or determine a filing position. Entries are not saved after you leave or reload.
Information readiness checklist
These checks track information readiness, not tax compliance or eligibility.
0 of 5 information checks marked.
Turn the record into a review handoff
For partner distribution review, start the handoff with the connection between distribution form and payment record. Then identify what tax workpaper question still needs to establish. The exported sheet should make that relationship clear without replacing the original documents.
List the person collecting evidence separately from the professional deciding treatment. A blank field is a request for follow-up, not a zero, an approval or a concluded answer. Keep the supporting documents in your agreed secure record system; this public page accepts no document uploads.
