Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Sorry -- from your question I thought you were asking why your basis changed by more than distributions.

TT won't automatically change the handling of everything based on the values you place into Section L and Section K.  Part of that is probably because they just haven't tried to put in all the logic into the program.  But part of it is also that the rules around basis are very complex, and the right handling isn't automatic.  For example, your basis is the total of your capital account and your nonrecourse loan allocation.  So your capital account can go negative (meaning you no longer have capital at risk) but you still have positive basis (due to the loans).  That has to be handled differently than when your basis actually goes negative.

So if your basis is actually negative, you'll have to create the entry on Sched D for distributions in excess of basis.  Here's a link on how to do that:  <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/4395965-how-where-to-report-distribution-in-excess-of-basis-llc">h...>
