Get your taxes done using TurboTax
OK. That $3220 is not your revenue. "Withdrawals" on that line refers to the cost basis you withdrew, not how much you sold it for.
As a simple example,
- if your beginning capital account was $0,
- you bought for $2400: "Capital contributed"... would show $2400
- every line on the K-1 is 0: "Current year net income" would show $0
- you sold late in the year for $3100: "Withdrawals and distributions" would show $2400 -- the value of the capital you originally contributed.
In your case, since you bought for $2400, and received no distributions, I'd assume there's $820 worth of income showing up on the K-1, which is what raises your Capital to $3220. That $820 is going to show up on your return somewhere (make sure you verify that!), and you'll be taxed on it. As a result, you increase your basis on your 1099-B by that $820 to avoid any extra taxation.
- In the real world, you spent $2400 and received $3100 for a profit of $700. You should pay taxes on $700
- In the tax world, you got some phantom stuff on the K-1 worth $820. So you get to change the basis on your 1099-B to give a Cap Loss of $120. Again, you pay taxes on a total of $700.
Note that its a little more complicated if the Sales Schedule shows Ordinary Income, but I don't think that applies to USO
