Why am I receiving schedule K-1 but no actual payment?

You should contact the regional center and/or a tax expert for this issue. The distribution of profits/income could be governed by the agreements you signed with the regional center or by complicated tax laws.

You need to contact the project or the regional center about that.

You will need to contact your regional center project and also consult a CPA for specific guidance. Partners in a limited partnership or members in an LLC get their share of items of income, deductions, credits, etc. and may be liable for reporting income even if there is no actual distribution. This is because, under the U.S. federal tax law, a partnership or LLC does not pay taxes at the entity level (unlike a corporation) and items get passed through to the individual partners or members to report on their individual federal/state tax returns as applicable. A K-1 schedule is issued for these purposes.

Including EB-5 immigrant investors, the IRS requires that all cooperative enterprises (such as a limited partnership or an LLC) provide a K-1 form to investors. The main purpose of this form is for the tax filings of both the partnership and the investor. You should contact the partnership with whom you are invested to inquire as to the whereabouts of the $20,000.

You should review your agreement with the regional center and also reach out to them regarding the payments.

It is possible that the subscription agreement you signed allows for the distributions to be made at a future date on a compounded or non-compounded (simple) basis. Unfortunately, even though you have not actually received the income in cash in your hand, you cannot claim that you have not earned it. This is sometimes referred to as phantom income when the income you are deemed to have received is reported on the K-1 but will never be distributed to you in cash. In other very common cases such as zero coupon bonds that pay no interest until they mature, despite the fact that they make no periodic payments until maturity, holders are typically liable for local, state and federal taxes on them on their imputed interest, or phantom income.

You need to contact the company that issued the K-1 to address your questions.

You should consult with your tax advisor regarding your K-1 questions. It may be that you have putative earnings without receiving the same.

You should reach out to the regional center and also to your CPA.

Contact the project in which you are invested to find out where the money has gone.

I understand the confusion. I hope I can help. This is a function of income vs. distributions. If the company has income but which is utilized at the entity level and not distributed, the partners/members/shareholders would have to report their share of income even though no distributions yet. A schedule K-1 provides the partner (in a partnership), member (in a limited liability company) or shareholder (in a subchapter S corporation) with his or her distributive share of all ordinary income or loss, any other types of income or loss, credits and other items for inclusion with the taxpayer&#39s federal and state income tax returns. A partnership/LLC or S corporation do not pay tax at the entity level. Instead, the partners/members/shareholders report all of the income. The partnership files a tax return with the IRS to report their income that is "passed through" to the partners/ members/shareholders, who then must report the income on their individual returns. This is in contrast to stocks, which are issued by corporations who file their own tax return and pay tax on their income Schedule K-1 should include a schedule to assist in the association of each item on Schedule K-1 with the taxpayer&#39s individual tax return. The schedule is usually on the second page to the K-1.

You need to contact the operator of the project either directly or through your legal counsel. They may be using the money for capital investment but they may also be using the money in ways they shouldn&#39t be.

Contact the regional center/issuer of the K-1.

Contact the issuer/NCE, who can explain more to you. Your K-1 shows interest income earned to date but usually won&#39t be paid out until you&#39ve fulfilled the at-risk requirements and the EB-5 loan is repaid. You&#39ll also likely need it at the I-829 stage for the same reason.
