Investors & landlords

Here are a few comments:

  • If there is an ending date on the K-1, use that as the sale date.  If not, just use 12/31/2023
  • You should have been maintaining a separate "tax basis" schedule.  What is listed on the K-1 is tax capital.  While these may close in theory, your tax basis cannot go below zero, however, the tax capital can go below zero; as noted in your facts.
  • I think your choice of "liquidation" is fine.
  • Complete disposition needs to be checked as well.  This will free up any suspended losses, which based on your facts you in fact have suspended losses.
  • Don't get hung up on "sale price" and the liquidation.  End result will be the same for tax purposes.
    • For the sales proceeds use the $42,888 figure.  
    • When updating your tax basis for the final K-1, DO NOT adjust it for the liquidating distribution noted in the previous bullet.
    • You will need your tax basis amount when asked by TT for your "cost basis".
