I have a 1099 b for the sale of profit interest units. What type of investment did I sell? What is the sales category?

Profits interest refers to an equity right based on the future value of a partnership awarded to an individual for their service to the partnership. What is a Profit Interest

A profit interest is worth nothing upon receipt.  As equity gross the profit interest gains value.  The later sale of a equity interest will generally yield a more favorable tax treatment.
