K-1 Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

• When will my K-1(s) be ready?

  We anticipate sending all 2022 K-1s by March 31, 2023. Unitholders will receive an email, with DocuSign instructions, which will allow you to access your AVG LLC K-1s. If there are any unexpected delivery delays, we will notify you as soon as possible. In the unlikely event we don’t have a Final K-1 by March 31, we plan to send an Estimated K-1, which will provide all the necessary information to allow you to calculate your taxes and file an extension. Please consult your tax advisor if you have questions.

• Why are K-1s delivered in March?

  K-1s require accurate and complex analysis of tax implications related to all 1,000+ portfolio companies. It’s quite rare to receive any K-1s prior to normal tax deadlines. Each year, we make this a top priority because we know it makes a difference to our investors.

• I have a meeting with my accountant prior to March 31, 2023. Can I get my K-1(s) early?

  It’s possible that some K-1s will be available prior to March 31. You can check by logging in, click on the “Access K-1s” on your Message Center, or click “Documents & Tax Statements” in the top navigation bar and then scroll down to “Tax Statements.”

• How do I access my K-1(s)?

  In your AV Investor Portal (click here to access), click on the “Access K-1s” on your Message Center, or click “Documents & Tax Statements” in the top navigation bar and then scroll down to “Tax Statements.”

• I would like my K-1 to be delivered electronically.

  All investors will have the ability to receive their K-1s online. If you’ve opted to receive your K-1 electronically, we will notify you when it’s ready on or before March 31, 2023. If not, just follow the steps below:

  • Log into your Investor Portal Dashboard
  • Click the drop down in the upper right-hand corner of the Dashboard
  • Choose “My Settings”
  • Scroll to “Tax Information” and click the drop down to select “Electronic Only”
  • Your K-1 delivery will now be set to “Electronic Only”
• I invested this year (2023) and I don’t see a K-1. Why?

  Your investment in 2023 will be reflected on your tax year 2023 Schedule K-1, which will be delivered in March 2024.

• I invested via my self-directed IRA. Do I need to file the K-1 on my personal taxes?

  K-1 forms will be generated for any investments made via retirement funds and uploaded to your AV Investor Portal. Please consult your tax advisor to determine your filing requirements.

• Do I have to file K-1's for the states I do not reside in?

  Please consult your tax advisors on your personal filing requirements.

• Will non-U.S. investors receive a K-1?

  If you are a non-U.S. investor who invested via the offshore vehicle (AVG Global Investor Fund 1, LP), then you will not receive a 2022 Schedule K-1. If you are a non-U.S. investor who did not invest via the offshore vehicle (AVG Global Investor Fund 1, LP), then you will receive a 2022 Schedule K-1.

• My address has changed. Does it need to be corrected on the Schedule K-1?

  If your address has changed, there is generally no need to reissue your K-1, as the IRS keys off your Taxpayer Identification Number for tax matters. If you would like to update your Primary Residential Address with Alumni Ventures, you can do so in your online Investor Portal under “My Settings.”

• I subscribed jointly with another investor. Where do we find the K-1 for their portion of our investment?

  As joint investors, both you and your co-subscriber own an equal split (50%) of the total investment — as reflected on your separate K-1s. Each of you also have your own mutually exclusive Investor Portal login. As joint investors, you will each receive an individual K-1 for your proportional ownership of the investment within your individual Investor Portals.

• I think there is an error on my K-1. What do I do?

  If you suspect an error, please email our Investor Relations at [email protected].

• Am I expected to file a Massachusetts income tax return?

  We suggest you consult your tax advisor as we cannot provide tax advice. However, it is our understanding the answer is no if you are not a Massachusetts resident and your only passive income from MA is a result of your investments in Alumni Venture funds or the management company, Alumni Ventures Group, LLC.

• What is a K-3, and why am I getting a K-3? Do I file this with my K-1?

  This a new schedule created by the IRS for tax year 2021 and onward. The Form 1065 Schedule K-3 reports an investor’s distributive share of items of international tax relevance and is an extension of the Form 1065 Schedule K-1. It replaces line 16, portions of line 20, and numerous unformatted statements attached to prior versions of the Schedule K-1 Form 1065, Schedule K-1. You are getting a Schedule K-3 because the fund is required to report an investor’s distributive share of items of international tax relevance. Please consult your tax advisor.
