Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Here is my case.

  1. When I filed my tax earlier this year, I had included the capital gains for UVXY that was part of form 1099B. I paid tax on this already.

the basis on the 1099-B is probably wrong (none of the partnership activity that affects your basis is recorded by the broker). you need to compute basis using the sales schedule provided by the partnership

2. got schedule K-1 (and K-3). Schedule K-1 was mailed to me but for some reasons, I saw schedule K-3 when I got an E-copy of K-1.

3. i entered the information on schedule K-1 and K-3 in Turbotax desktop. OK 

4. It appears to generate a copy 2 of form 8949 with the UVXY info (based on what I entered)This is marked with (C) short-term transactions not reported to you on Form 1099-B OK but see above as to tax basis 

5.  Form 6781 was also created to include the section 1256 contracts and straddles based on Schedule K-1 box 11 (C) Other Income (loss) OKAfter I entered all of the information on schedule K-1,

6. I noticed my money owe went up a few dollars IT HAPPENS IF THERE IS NET INCOME 

****************************************************************************

Here are the details of what I did in Turbotax

 

  1. Choose the Type of Partner 
    1. Selection: Limited Partner or Other LLC Member  USE WHAT'S ON THE K-1
  2. Type of partner 
    1. Selection: domestic partner SEE 1 BOLDED
  3.  Percentage of your share
    1. Selection: didn't enter anything. This was where I had to enter Profit, loss, capital on beginning and ending columns
  4.  enter your liability share
    1. Selection: didn't enter anything here as well. This is Nonrecourse, Qualified Nonresource, Recourse on beginning and ending columns.
  5. Enter capital Account Information (basically matching row L in K-1 form)
    1. Opening capital account: 0
    2. capital contributed during 2024: 19,610
    3. current year net income (loss): 3061
    4. Other increase (decrease): 0
    5. withdrawls and distributions: -22,671
    6. ending capital account: 0 L FOR 3 THROUGH 5 A WASTE OF TIME BECAUSE TURBOTAX DOESN'T USE THESE NUMBERS AT ALL
  6. Describe the partnership 
    1. Selection: selected both "This is a publicly traded partnership" and "this partnership ended in 2024"
  7. Describe partnership disposal 
    1. Selection: Complete disposition
  8.  Tell us about your sale
    1. Selection: Sold partnership Interest
  9. Enter Sales Dates 
    1. Selection: The purchase time and sold time varied but I entered purchase date as the first day I entered the position and sale date as last date I sold the remaining shares.
    2. Let me know if this is correct? 6 THROUGH 9 OK 
  10. Enter Sale Information  (there were 2 columns)
    1. Regular Gain or Loss Column
      1. Sales Price: 23,810 (this was a bit confusing to me but I ended up using the sale proceeds for UVXY in form 1099B)
      2. Selling Expense: left this blank
      3. Partnership Basics: 22,671 (I used the value on row L in form K-1)
      4. Ordinary Gain: left blank
      5. 1250 Gain: left blank (since box 9c on form K-1 was empty)
    2. AMT Gain or Loss
      1. Partnership Basis: 22,671
      2. Ordinary Gain: left blank
      3. 1250 GainL left blank 10 AND 11 IN THE SALES ECTION OF THE K-1 (NOT THE 8949) THE ONLY THING REPORTED HERE IS SECTION 751 GAIN. LINE 20AB OF K-1 IF PRESENT AND ITS ORDINARY. THIS IS DEPRECITION RECAPTURE. IT IS DOUBTFUL THAT THE PARTNERSHIP REPORTED ANY ON EITHER 20AB OR THE SALE SCHEDULE SO ALL YOU ENTER IS SALES PRICE 0 BASIS O ORDINARY GAIN 0
  11. Review Investment Gain or Loss on Sale
    1. Shorter-term Gain (Loss): 1,139 on both columns "regular gain or loss" and "AMT Gain or loss"
    2. Long-Term Gain (Loss): both columns zero/ YOU HABE JUST DOUBLE REPORTED THE SALE. THIS IS TREATED AS A SEPARATE SALE FROM WHATS REPORTED ON THE 8949 AND WILL LIKLEY APPEAR ON FORM 8949 TYPE C SHORT-TERM SALES PROCEEDS AND BASIS NOT REPORTED TO THEIRS. THIS DUBLICATES WHAT SHOULD BE TYPE B ON THE 8949
  12.  Choose Type of Activity
    1. Selection: Other
  13. I checked the boxes that have an amount which were boxes 5, 8 (this is 0), 11 (with C designation), 13 (AE designation), 16 (checked marked), and 20 (with A and B designation)
  14.  Enter info from boxes 4-7

    4. Box 13: AE - Deductions - portfolio Income: 
    5. JUST ENTER THE NUMEBERS THAT APPEAR IN THE BOXES IN PART III THROUGH LINE 18. LINE 19 ISN'T USED BY TURBOTAX
      1. Yes box 16 is checked
  15. Proceeded to enter form K-3 in Turbotax YOUR ON YOUR OWN BUT IT PROBABLY DOESN'T MATTER SINCE THE FOREIGN TAX CREDIT IS ZERO

    2. foreign gross income - gross income from all sources (column G): 3,071
  18.  Enter deduction info (I think this one is coming from box 13)
    1. Deduction allocated at individual level - interest expense (column F - sum of lines 39-43): 0
    2. Deduction allocated at individual level - Other (column F - line 54 minus sum of lines 39-43): 10

  21. Enter box 20 Info 
    1. A - Investment income: 45
    2. B - investment expenses: 10
  22. Describe the partnership 
    1. Left it all blank but options were (sorry for typos, typing as fast as I can):
      1. I am required to pay supplmental business expenses on behalf of this partnership/llc for which I am not reimbursed
      2. i have passive inactivity losses carried over from last year
      3. all of my investment in this activity is at risk
      4. i have at-risk losses carrying over from 2023
      5. i personally paid health insurance and/or long-term care insurance preiums ofr. myself and for my family
      6. i have passive activitiy credits to claim from this publicly traded partnership (this is not common)

That's it and it went back to the summary page and I clicked Done. Let me know if I should include an image of part III of form K-1 in here for clarity.

 

Can someone help me verify if what I entered were correct?

 

As mentioned above, I saw form 6781 and 8949 (copy 2) generated (copy 1 has all my stock trades info). My tax owed went up a few bucks. I had already paid the UVXY capital gain when I filed earlier this year.
