Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Based on the original question and follow-up responses:

  • You indicate that your final K-1 has an amount on line 16 code D.
    • Does this represent your liquidating distribution?
    • Technically the liquidating distribution should be reported on form 1099-DIV and NOT the K-1
  • Your facts also indicate that you only received cash as a liquidating distribution.
    • As such, you need to input the items reflected on your K-1 in TT just as any other year
    • You then need to update your tax basis (form 7203)
    • Do not adjust your tax basis for the liquidating distribution
  • You will have two levels of tax
    • The first is associated with the sale of the land reported on the K-1.  TT will handle this based on your input.
    • The second is the difference between your stock basis and your liquidating distribution
    • This second level of tax will be reported on form 8949 and then Schedule D
    • TT will ask questions related to the final K-1.  It is here that you will input your stock basis (not adjusted for the liquidating distribution), and then the selling price will be the liquidating distribution amount.
