Get your taxes done using TurboTax
@Anonymous On the K-1, you'd enter for sales, 1282 for Ordinary Income, and -1282 for Partnership Basis. On the next screen, you'll see that this info causes it to calculate zero cap gain/loss. But, you'll see the $1,282 show up on Form 4797 just like it should.
On your cap gain/loss, I'll combine ST and LT for a moment.
You sold for $6,515
You purchased for $8,373
Your total adjustments were -$1659
So your cost basis is 8373-1659 = $6,714
Your TOTAL profit/loss on the sale is 6515-6714 = -$199
That TOTAL loss of $199 is split into 2 pieces: Ordinary Income of $1,282 and a Capital Loss of -$1,419 (this number just comes from -199-1282).
So you want your 1099-B to show a total loss of 1,419, which means you need a total basis of $7,934.
Make sense?
The final complication is that this is split between short term and long term. Your Sales Schedule should have a column in it that tells you the % of the adjustment that is short term vs long term. You'd have to repeat the process above for each piece, but the total will get to the same place.
