If the partnership is a disregarded entity, you, most likely,  report the business profit or loss on Schedule C.  Alternatively, you report the capital  loss on form 8949 and Schedule D.  However, since it's a partnership, that will be filing form 1065, Schedule E may be more appropriate.

After determining how to treat the loss, the partnership will have to file a partnership return (form 1065) and issue form K-1 to each partner.
