Well, are you active in the business? If you are a passive investor
the activity is all passive for you. I'm not sure why TurboTax won't
let you input the other K-1 boxes.
I'm wondering if TT's idea of a "real estate" business is a real
estate professional. That's different from a passive investment in
real estate. What are your other options?
