Partnerships - Form 1065

How is the guaranteed salary amount reported?

Guaranteed salary that is fixed without regard to partnership income is taxable as ordinary wages and not as partnership earnings. As a General partner the guaranteed salary and net partnership income is subject to self-employment tax. Limited partners do not pay self-employment taxes unless guaranteed payments are received.
