Our partnership client never reported a loss from a 2018 K-1, and they are a BBA partnership. I know we can't amend the 2018 tax return, and we need to file a Form 8985 at the partnership level and provide partners with Forms 8986.

The instructions for Form 8986 say that we need to include Forms 8986/8985 with our AAR, but what year is the AAR filed? The instructions for an AAR are noted below and suggest we need to check the "Amended Return" section, but we were hoping to file the Form 8082/8986/8985 all in the 2020 software.

Anyone have any insight on this?

How to File an AAR
For Electronically Filed Returns, file the following:
Form 8082, Notice of Inconsistent Treatment or Administrative Adjustment Request (AAR)
Form 1065, U.S. Return of Partnership Income, check box G(5) ‘Amended return’ section [required for transmission purposes]
If making a Push Out Election OR if the AAR contains adjustments that do not result in an IU, also include the following forms with the AAR submission:
Form 8985, Pass-Through Statement – Transmittal/Partnership Adjustment Tracking Report (Required under Sections 6226 and 6227)
Forms 8986, Partner’s Share of Adjustments(s) to Partnership-Related Items (Required Under Sections 6226 and 6227)
