Deductions & credits

Yes, you may report this sale on your current tax return. Enter this under Wages & Income >> Investment Income

While you might have reported the investment as disposed of in the year of the final K-1, since you actually sold the investment in the following year, you should report the sale in the year it occurred.

  1. Choose Federal Taxes >> Wages & Income, then I’ll Choose What I Work On.
  2. Investment Income >> Stocks, Mutual Funds >> Start/Update.
  3. Type of Investment: Everything Else
  4. Enter a description, Net Proceeds of sale, and date of sale
  5. Acquired: whatever method fits
  6. Cost Basis: your net investment as of the date of the sale
    Note: The capital account reconciliation on the K-1 is not necessarily your book value for the investment. You should have separate records of investment, distributions, allocated income/loss, etc. to determine your basis on the date of the sale.
  7. Date of Acquisition: the first date you contributed to the partnership
