While it may be possible to amend the returns and issue corrected K-1s after this date, there would still be the issue of potential penalties for incorrect reporting on the original K-1s and tax returns.  Also, there can be restrictions on a partnership filing an amended return after the due date of the return unless the partnership has made an election under Sec. 6031(b). If this situation applies to you, immediate action is required to determine whether to amend the partnership or S Corporation tax return or send out the notification.  [Contact us](https://info.mooredm.com/contact-us) for help in analyzing your alternatives and providing guidance on how you should proceed.
