Thanks for your reply.  Regarding “…have potential for recognizing ordinary income…”, in my case all the liquidated property had a gain equal to its FMV.   The gain was less than its original cost and all property was fully depreciated (exceeded the useful lifespan), so it would not be subject to depreciation recapture due to disposal before its useful life was reached.    However the sec 179 disposed property gain gets reported on K-1, Box 17 K.  When I enter that into my personal return it counts as ordinary income.  The 1099-DIV gain gets entered on Form 8949 and Schedule D as an exchange for my stock.  If the gain exceeds my stock basis (disregarding any gain from the liquidated property distribution) I realize a gain and pay tax on that too, so it seems I’m being taxed twice on the property distribution.   I was planning as reporting the FMV (my gain) of all liquidated property to be treated as exchange for my stock and not treated as ordinary income.  I can attach a spreadsheet to my return to show the details of the FMV (my gain) of each liquidated property.  I’m still trying to figure out where to report that on K-1 (I’m guessing Box 16 D).  Does all of this sound correct?
