Not sure if you prepared your final S corp return or if you were just provided the K-1.
Regardless, the K-1 is not correct. Liquidating distributions do not get reflected on the K-1. The liquidating distribution is to be reported on 1099-DIV in the liquidating distribution box.
Your K-1, and 1065, should be amended. The only thing the K-1 should report is activity related to the winding down of any operations.
The problem with your current K-1, is now the IRS will be looking to match this capital gain which is not correct. In addition, reflecting a capital gain on the K-1 means that you must report this gain and increase your basis. Based on your limited facts, this is not correct.
I don't know what else is on the final K-1, but what should occur is that you update your basis schedule for the applicable lines of the K-1 (not any liquidating distribution) and compare this to your liquidating distribution. If you have basis remaining after subtracting the liquidating distribution, you have a capital loss. If your basis goes below zero, then you have a capital gain to the extent of the negative amount. Which ever it is, this then gets reported on Sch D and the applicable 8949.
I don't know the amount, but I recommend you consult with a tax advisor. It is getting into a difficult time of year for those individuals, so you may want to consider filing an extension to allow time to get this properly handled.
Also keep in mind the date of replies, as tax law changes.
