From time to time we like to check on our tax peeps to see how they’re holding up during busy season.
Well … there’s the new schedules K-2/K-3 requirements for pass-through entities (see Michael Rapaport’s article for Bloomberg Tax on the new IRS foreign income reporting requirements for partnerships), which is driving tax pros completely out of their minds:
This K2/K3 nonsense has me seriously thinking about switching careers. #TaxTwitter

This is horseshit. The pile of returns sitting on my desk on February 8th because I am/or was waiting for K2/K3 guidance, Rev. Proc. 2021-48 stmt., forms to be finalized. pic.twitter.com/y5ianLlPXi

The whole K2/K3 fiasco is a going to make a lot of competent and dedicated tax preparers quit, but the ones who break the rules and don't know what they're doing/missing will continue unabated.

The k2/k3 "crisis" is sad. I truly think the IRS will revise their guidance because there is no reason for a PTE to have any effect on a form 1116 filed on a 1040. On top of that few PTE returns will be preoared with a k2/k3 this year no matter what the IRS does.#taxtwitter

Do you know what made me cry just now?
Thinking about me figuring out how to do K2/K3 reporting.#DonutTwitter

The answer is SIMPLE for this K2/K3 issue. This filing requirement has to be delayed at least a year.
The IRS isn’t even ready to handle this. Can’t file forms until AFTER the due date?
This is crippling to taxpayers and our industry. @AICPA help!!! #TaxTwitter
