Follow these steps to enter and allocate guaranteed payments:
- Go to the Input Return tab.
- From the left of the screen, select Ordinary Income and choose Deductions.
- Locate the Deductions section.
- Scroll down to the Guaranteed Payments (including partner health insurance) subsection.

- Select Guaranteed Payments (Deductions) from the left menu.
- Enter the Amount ($) for each partner, or select Percentage (%) from the top menu to allocate by percentages.
