Do not deduct the amount shown on this form. It is the partnership’s contribution. Instead, deduct the amount identified by code C, box 13, subject to the 50% AGI limitation, on line 16 of (Schedule A).
If the partnership provides you with information that the contribution was property other than cash and does not give you a (Form 8283), see instructions for form 8283 for filing requirements. Do not file Form 8283 unless the total claimed deduction for all contributed items of property exceeds $500.
Code D = Noncash contributions (30%) – Report this amount, subject to the 30% AGI limitation ,on line 16 of (Schedule A)..
Code E. = Capital gain property to 50% organization (30%) – Report this amount, subject to the 30% AGI limitation, on line 16 of schedule A. See special 30% limit for capital gain property in (Publication 526).
Code F = Capital gain property (20%) – Report this amount, subject to the 20% AGI limitation, on line 16 of (Schedule A)..
Code G = Cash Contributions (100%) = The partnership will report your share of qualified cash contributions. You can elect to deduct 100% of these contributions on line 15b of Schedule A(1040). If you do not make this election, add this amount to the cash contributions reported in box 13 using code A, and enter the total amount, subject to the 50% AGI limitation, on line 15a of schedule A (1040).
Code H = Investment Interest Expense – Enter this amount (Form 4952) line 1. If the partnership has investment income or other investment expenses, it will report your share of these in box 20 using codes A and B. Include investment income and expenses from other sources to figure out how much of your total investment expenses is deductible. You will need this information to figure your investment interest expense deduction.
Code I = Deductions – Royalty Income = Enter deductions allocable to royalties on (schedule E,line 18). For this type of expense, write “From Schedule K-1 (1065)”.
These amounts are not taken into account in figuring your passive activity loss for the year.
Code J = Section 59(e)(2) expenditures = on an attached statement, the partnership will show the type and amount of qualified expenditures to which an election under section 59(e) may apply. The statement will also identify the property for which expenditures were paid or incurred. If there is more than one type of expenditure, the amount of each type will also be listed.
Generally, section 59(e) allows each partner to elect to deduct certain expenses ratably over the number of years in the applicable period rather than deduct the full amount in the current year. Under the election, you may deduct circulation expenditures ratably over a 3 year period. Research and development expenditures and mining exploration and development costs qualify for write-off period of 10 years. Intangible drilling and development costs may be deducted over a 60 month period, beginning with the month in which such costs were paid or incurred.
If you make this election, these items are not treated as adjustments or tax preference items for the purpose of the alternative minimum tax. Make this election on (Form 4562).
Because each partner decides whether to make this election under section 59(e), the partnership cannot provide you with the amount of the adjustment or tax preference item related to the expense. You must decide how to claim the expense on your return and compute the resulting adjustment or tax preference item.
Code K = Deductions – Portfolio (2% Floor) - Amounts entered with this code are deductions that are clearly and directly allocable to portfolio income (other than investment interest expense and section 212 expenses from a REMIC).

If you did not materially participate in the oil and gas activity, this interest is investment interest expense and should be reported on (Form 4952). If you materially participated in the activity, report the interest on line 28 of (schedule E). On a separate line, enter “Interest Expense” and the name of the partnership in column (a) and the amount in column (h).

In the margin to the left of line 42, write “CCF” and the amount of the deduction. The partnership will give you a description and an amount for your share of each of these items.
