This is a long-standing bug.

 

In the K-1 interview, when it asks about the details for the sale, you have to avoid letting it calculate any cap gains/losses.  Assuming you have Ordinary Income:

- If AMT isn't an issue, set the sales price = to Ord Income, and use 0 for basis

- If you pay AMT, your Ord Income will have an adjustment.  Enter the Ord Income into each column, then enter its inverse as basis and $0 for sales price (e.g., if $100 for Ord Income, use -100 for basis).

 

If you do this correctly, the next screen will show all 0s for Cap Gain.  This will prevent the K-1 from generating a new 8949 and double reporting the gain.

 

Note that you still need to adjust your basis on the 1099 received from the broker.
