However, as a retired member, I am receiving retirement distributions from the entity. Although I no longer have any ownership in the entity, I still receive a K-1 annually with my retirement income reflected as guaranteed payments (non self-employment income). I haven't had this on my OBA listing since 10-1-18 when the name of the firm changed from Beall Barclay & Company, PLC, CPAs, because I didn't think it was required. This year's ACQ states in the Branch Office section that it is required, so I am now adding it back with the new name. Note that my retirement date from the firm was 12-31-20. 4) FARMERS BANK POSITION: Consulting NATURE: Consulting related primarily to loan file & loan policy compliance.
