@Justin G.You will receive a K-1 from the syndication reporting your share of income/losses.If the K-1 is received prior to April 15th, you have the opportunity to file a timely filed return.if the K-1 is expected after April 15th, you will be required to file an extension for your individual return.Depending on where the K-1 invests and the amount of your investment, you may be expected/required to file in multiple states.You may have some tax decisions to make during the period when the syndication plans to exit(normally 5 to 7 years).
