I sold all my shares in an S-Corp business for a loss of $24,964. How do I report it. Also, do I still get a K-1 and need to report that?

I had purchased 36,460 shares of an S-corp business for $25,000 back in September 2005.  Sold all shares December 31, 2016 for $36.46 (yes, a big loss).  There have been no distributions of profits over the years. I did not “materially participate” in the business.

Looking at my 2015 taxes, I see a Form 8849 and it seems this would go under “Long-term transactions not reported to you on Form 1099-B” (assuming 2016 uses the same form)?  Proceeds (d) would the $36.46 and cost basis (e) the $25k?  This right? 

Being I sold the business in 2016, do I still get and report the 2016 K-1 for the business in the 1040 schedule E?  Or because I sold during the year, I no longer report that?  Business made a loss, but has never gotten this form filled in on time, so having to file would most likely require me to file an extension.
