Understanding your Schedule K1 (Form 1065)
Share on facebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

With the tax season coming soon, many of our accredited investors may be in the process of submitting their tax documents. Willow Wealth distributes Schedule K1, and to answer any questions investors may have about filling them out, we’ve compiled a breakdown of the form below. In this article you can find out what numbers on your Schedule K1 mean, as well as information on where you can find them in your online investment portfolio. These are based on the most recent Schedule K1 form – 2025 Schedule K-1 (Form 1065).

Schedule K1 Form - Part 1, Form 1065, 2025 version

Part I deals with the Partnership information, which will be completed by Willow Wealth to identify the individual SPV name and tax identification number, depending on the investment opportunity that this K-1 is for.

Part II deals with the Partner, or the investor. This part contains information about the investor’s participation in the opportunity.

Section J

Schedule K1 Form - Part 2, Form 1065, 2025 version

Capital Percentages – This section reflects your beginning and ending ownership percentage in the fund for the current tax year, which represents your committed capital over the total committed capital raised by the fund. For a detailed breakdown or if you have any questions, reach out to [email protected]

FAQ: My Ending Capital is 0%. How was this determined?

If the opportunity closed and was repaid during this tax year (by December 31, 2025), your Ending Capital will be 0%.

Section L

Beginning capital amount: This figure represents your beginning tax capital in the fund, which may vary from your beginning book capital in the fund.

Capital contributed during the year: This number will reflect how much you invested in the opportunity during the current tax year.

Current year increase (decrease): This is your current year taxable income/(loss), plus other certain items such as, tax-exempt income and non-deductible expenses.

Withdrawals and distributions: This number will be the total amount of principal and net interest distributions for the current year. You may get this number by going to the Reports section of your portfolio and adding up all distributions effective in the 2025 tax year. This amount reflects all cash payments received by you during the current taxable year.

FAQ: I have added up all distributions from my Portfolio, but my calculation does not match my K1.

On some occasions, there are distributions that were initiated prior to January 1, but did not hit an investor’s bank account until after January 1, and thus would not have been included in this tax year. All Willow Wealth transaction pages have a “Cleared Date” on the Transaction tab in your Portfolio. To get the number reflected on your K-1, add up all the transactions that occurred with a clear date during 2025.

Ending capital account: This number can be calculated by adding up all the above, minus the distributions. It will be carried over into your followingyour following year K-1 and will be reflected as the Beginning Capital Account.

Part III

Schedule K1 Form - Part 3, Form 1065, 2025 version

Interest income: This is your pro-rate share of interest earned by the fund for the current year.

Interest Expense: In some cases, earlier Willow Wealth opportunities which were pre-funded by Willow Wealth, accumulated interest from the opportunity while it was being filled by investors. Willow Wealth effectively accrued that interest. When the opportunity closes, Willow Wealth passes on that interest to the opportunity’s investors in the form of an investment interest expense deduction (Box 13H).

Other deductions: There are other expenses incurred by the fund which need to flow through to the investors of the fund. These expenses are reflected as “other deductions”. An example of this is certain portfolio deductions (i.e., management fee expenses) in Box 13W on the K-1.

What is Schedule K1 (Form 1065)?

The Schedule K-1 (Form 1065), sometimes called the Form K-1065, is a tax document that reports each partner’s share of a partnership’s income, deductions and credits. It breaks down your individual share of the partnership’s financial activities, including income, deductions, and credits. This form also offers a detailed account of your portion of the partnership’s profits, losses, and various tax-related items.

So, if a partnership makes $200,000 and you have 30 per cent of a partnership, then your K-1 would report $60,000 as your share of the income. The Schedule K-1 would also list your share of the deductions, credits and all other tax items so those details are properly reported on your individual tax return.

Investments made on your behalf in a Willow 360 Managed Portfolio are highly speculative and entail substantial risks, including the fact that such investments are illiquid and subject to significant restrictions on transferability and redemption and that all or a substantial amount of the principal invested may be lost. No amount of diversification can eliminate such risks. Investment strategies such as the ones offered for Managed Portfolios may not be suitable for all investors, and potential investors must make an independent assessment of the appropriateness of any investment in light of their own objectives and circumstances.

Willow Wealth Inc. is the direct owner of Willow Asset Management LLC, which is an SEC-registered investment adviser that manages the Willow Wealth funds and provides investment advice to “retail investors” through “Willow 360 Managed Portfolios.”

Brokerage services for customers of Willow Wealth Inc.are provided by Atomic Brokerage. Custodial and clearing services are provided to Atomic Brokerage by Pershing LLC. Technology services may be provided by AtomicVest. For more details about Atomic Brokerage, please see the Form CRS, Atomic Brokerage General Disclosures, and the Privacy Policy.

1 Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Any historical returns, expected returns, or probability projections may not reflect actual future performance. All securities involve risk and may result in significant losses.

3 "Annual interest," "Annualized Return" or "Target Returns" represents a projected annual target rate of interest or annualized target return, and not returns or interest actually obtained by fund investors. “Term" represents the estimated term of the investment; the term of the fund is generally at the discretion of the fund’s manager, and may exceed the estimated term by a significant amount of time. Unless otherwise specified on the fund's offering page, target interest or returns are based on an analysis performed by Willow Wealth of the potential inflows and outflows related to the transactions in which the strategy or fund has engaged and/or is anticipated to engage in over the estimated term of the fund. There is no guarantee that targeted interest or returns will be realized or achieved or that an investment will be successful. Actual performance may deviate from these expectations materially, including due to market or economic factors, portfolio management decisions, modelling error, or other reasons.

4 Reflects the annualized distribution rate that is calculated by taking the most recent quarterly distribution approved by the Fund's Board of Directors and dividing it by prior quarter-end NAV and annualizing it. The Fund’s distribution may exceed its earnings. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distribution may be a return of the money you originally invested and represent a return of capital to you for tax purposes.

5 Represents the sum of the interest accrued in the statement period plus the interest paid in the statement period.

6 The internal rate of return ("IRR") represents an average net realized IRR with respect to all matured investments, excluding our Short Term Notes and Structured Notes programs, weighted by the investment size of each individual investment, made by private investment vehicles managed by Willow Asset Management LLCfrom July 1, 2015 through and including March 31, 2025, after deduction of management fees and all other expenses charged to investments.
