Get your taxes done using TurboTax

the 1099-B does not reflect the correct tax basis because the broker does not get the k-1 and therefore can't adjust your basis for the partnership activity. All I have ever seen on the 1099-B is the original tax basis (what you paid). In the k-1 package there should be a supplemental sales schedule which should provide all the info needed to correctly report gain/loss on sale including any section 751 recapture also reported on line 20AB, if any.  

 

 

another way to figure you correct tax basis is from schedule L of the k-1

capital contributed should be what you paid

+ current year income - current year loss

- line 19a withdrawals and distributions

+ the amount, if any, from 20AB

this is reported on the 1099B/8949 not in the sales section of the k-1. type B proceeds but not tax basis reported to the iRS

 

only the amount on 20AB,if any,  is reported as ordinary income through the k-1 sales section
