Very true, thanks for your response. I did add another 1099-b provider that I named in the name of my OZ fund, and inputted 0 for proceeds to reflect an accompanying loss. I think that solves most of the issue you bring up, but I realize it's a questionable hack, and am more intrigued as to what my .pdf looks like and if I can make small superficial changes as needed (add the "Z").
It's not the way this is supposed to be done, but my taxes are complex, and having a new account start fresh with all these legacy situations is really unappealing. Painful all around for this relatively large and high profile program not to be supported, particularly given the simplicity of what's actually happening here (defer cap gains; record separate ledger of QOF investment on 8997).
