Again, thanks a lot for your instant response.

Let me state that I had sold ALL my units in 2017 and got final K-1 and Sales Schedule now.

I am a little bit confusion regarding how to calculate final Gain or Loss.  

For example,

Sales price = $200
Purchase/Cost = $300
Original 1099-B shows Cap Gain or Loss of ($100)

Sales Schedule shows Cum Adjustments of ($70)
New basis is $230
Enter $230 under correct cost on the 1099-B
Cap Gain or Loss is now ($30)

In this way, it seems the more I lost from the transaction, the more tax I should pay, because loss is becoming less? Compare ($100) before apply Cum Adjustments and ($30) after apply Cum Adjustments for Cap Gain or Loss. Is that the case?

In my mind, I thought it should be this way?

Sales Schedule shows Cum Adjustments of ($70)
New cost will be $300 + $70 = $370
Enter $370 under correct cost on the 1099-B
Cap Gain or Loss is now ($170)

My understand for Cum Adjustments is a negative because it all about loss, no any gain. That way, it cannot make cost amount even less.

Please correct me if I was wrong. Thanks a lot for all your time and efforts towards helping me.
