It sounds like you sold Publicly Traded Partnerships  (PTP)/ Master Limited Partnerships (MLP).  When you sell these, you have to report bptj your K-1 and your Form 1099-B transactions. PTPs make "dividend" payments which are in part a return of basis.  Therefore, when you sell them you have to calculate both capital gain/loss - reported on Form 8949 and Schedule D, and ordinary income reported on Form 4797.  Reporting the information in your K-1 package will result in ordinary income being reported on Form 4797 and a gain or loss on Form 8949. But you also have a 1099-B with the same sales that needs to be reported.  Report the information on the 1099-B and then adjust to cost basis to equal the sales proceed, resulting a gain/loss of $0.  The sales information on the 1099-B will match what the information the IRS receives and expects to see reported, and the correct gain/loss and oridnary income will be reported via the K-1 reporting.
