Why are the portfolio expenses non-deductible this year.
Our clubs expenses are usually deductible but this year they
show as not deductible. Does anyone know why?

Because they changed the tax laws for 2018.

If you want to know why, you need to ask your legislators that voted for the changes.

Some states, such as New York, will allow the deductions, but they are still
subject to the 2% rule so not many can take advantage of this.

You probably weren't paying attention (few people do) to the tax changes, but the list of "deductible" items is much shorter with the new tax law. While that steps on a few toes, that is indeed simplification. On your personal income taxes, it is much more likely you will find the standard deduction more financially advantageous. This is one reason, taking away some of the detail items from the long form. They also took away the "personal exemption" for each individual on the tax return. Since the new standard deduction is nearly twice as large, and most tax brackets reduced approximately 2%, the great majority of taxpayers come out ahead... unless they had a big and complicated itemized deduction.

I've been preparing personal income taxes for moderate/low income individuals nearly 20 years, under the AARP Tax-Aide program.

To add to Lindas comment, since portfolio expenses may still be deductible on certain state tax forms, each partner will now see the amount allocated to them shown on an attachment to their K-1 form that we have included this year.

Is this attachment an official part of the federal form that must be mailed to the IRS? Saving 25 printed pages and trees

No. Unless there are itemized foreign tax items on it, it doesn't have to go to the IRS, just to each member.

I agree with that recommendation.  Take it to the legislature.  We need to be in moe contact.

This year (2019 return) the portfolio expenses show as
investment expense and deductible this year. Does anyone
know why? Thanks.
"Portfolio expenses (2%)" (reported as 13W on your K-1) are not deductible on your federal individual income tax return. They may be deductible on your state income tax return if your state does not conform to federal rules. In 2018, they were reported as 18C on your K-1,
