I have a small business income ( 3769) on line 1 of my K1 form and a large Net section 1231 gain (143,958) in box 10 -Turbo tax shows me paying taxes on the large amount

the net section 1231 increase came from the sale of property and is reflected in current year increase in the partner's capital account analysis

The ordinary income (Box 1) and the Net Section 1231 gain would be taxable in the year the business earned this income, regardless of how much of that income you received in cash. The Net Section 1231 gain added to your Schedule D as a long term capital gain.

You would have to pay taxes on this gain, as a disregarded entity passes its tax liabilities over to its owners/ partners/ members.

Your capital account doesn't impact your tax return.

I see you posted the same question a while back. Would you please clarify what you don't understand or what doesn't make sense specifically? This income is taxable.

Thank You -- I think I understand now -- I assume the increase in net gain ( Box 10 ) is taxed this year though the distribution of some of this gain  ( approx. 1/3 ) will be next year and presumably tax free --- is this correct ?
