Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@manbeing MLP is Master Limited Partnership, but it doesn't matter.  The only thing you need to do is enter the $1 in the Ordinary Income box, and then set the Cost Basis to -1.  Do the same in the AMT column (using whatever the sales schedule tells you the AMT Ord Income is).  That will make sure the K-1 doesn't create a new 1099-B for the sale, and you can use the existing one to handle the Cap Gain.

 

Note that the broker who gave you the 1099-B doesn't see the K-1.  If the K-1 includes any adjustments to your cost basis, you need to change the cost the broker gave you.  That's why the broker doesn't report it to the IRS:  they don't know if its correct or not.
