Retirement tax questions

Without many facts, my best advice would be to treat this similar to owning a stock.

  • I'm not clear on how you determine your tax basis (cost) if you never received a K-1.
  • Did you receive a W-2 for any compensation?
    • If "yes", was there ever a value placed on the units?
    • Was this value included in your W-2?
  • If you never received a K-1, it doesn't sound as if you were ever truly a member of the LLC
  • If you have a value for your cost basis, then as noted above, just use this figure as you would any other equity and then your "distribution" would be your selling price.
  • This information would go on form 8949 and Schedule D
