Faqs

FAQ — K-1 Automation

What types of K-1s does Black Ore support?

Black Ore handles Federal, State, and K-3 forms—regardless of format, layout, or source. We support tiered structures, mixed PDFs, and multi-entity packages at scale

Can the platform process complex K-1s with footnotes and partner grids?

Yes. Black Ore extracts data from face pages, footnotes, and partner-level schedules. It also reclassifies, allocates, and maps line items automatically—even when formatting is inconsistent

How does Black Ore handle activity breakout and special allocations?

Our AI identifies and classifies active vs. passive income, handles grouped activities, and applies logic for 199A, recourse status, and partner-specific breakouts—ensuring accurate downstream treatment

What does K-1 reclassification mean, and how does it work?

Black Ore automatically converts raw line items into their correct tax treatment categories (e.g. ordinary vs. passive income, deductible vs. non-deductible). You can also layer in firm-specific overrides

How does K-1 data integrate into our tax software?

Data is mapped and exported directly to your firm’s prep system at the K-1, activity, and field level—no rekeying, no bridges
