How about help with this one - I have a final limited partnership K-1 with a Section 1231 gain.  TurboTax transfers this to  form 4797 and uses it to reduce my long term capital loss carry forward from last year, therefore no tax.  I also have rental property schedule E with a loss carry forward and turbo tax is also using the K-1 Section 1231 gain to reduce the schedule E loss carry forward.  The net calculates a reduction in income and reduces both my capital loss carry forward and my Schedule E loss carry forward. This is double dipping.  The schedule E loss carry forward should not change since I used the Section 1231 gain against capital loss carry forward.  I can not figure out how to correct this in the software.
