I shorted an ETF last year, United States Oil Fund (USO). It issues a Schedule K-1. But because I shorted it, and never actually owned it, do I skip doing all the Schedule K-1 stuff?   My short position was only for a couple of days. It was only 100 shares. I made a very small profit. I don't think there was any dividend activity or anything like that during that period.   So I would really like to hear I can skip doing the Schedule K-1 stuff because it is so complicated.   I have one extra complication I want to mention. The USO people sent me an incorrect Schedule K-1 form in the mail. They screwed up and messed up my transaction dates. The effect is that it makes it look like I was long the USO, not short.  I called the support phone number to correct it. The guy had reservations about fixing my dates because he said their system doesn't handle shorts very well. But I told him it is wrong and it is already causing me problems, so he made the changes. But I can no longer download a corrected TXF file because it now says "Ownership information is incorrect and must be corrected before a K1 can be created." I didn't have this problem before because I had successfully downloaded the original incorrect version, so I presume this is the kind of problem the representative was worried about.   Any way, for curiosity, I was wondering what would happen if I tried doing the Schedule K-1 stuff in TurboTax with the old incorrect TXF, and if there was a way I could fix the numbers so it correctly shows I was short. I found one part where I could change the values for "Capital contributed during the year" and "Withdrawals and distributions" so the first is negative and the latter is positive.   But going deeper into it, I hit a part where Box 16 "Schedule K-3 is attached if checked", and my form has a check. I didn't get a Schedule K-3. A web search says the form often comes very late (October-ish), and I have to file an extension and wait.   So I would really like to hear that I don't need to do any of this Schedule K-1 stuff for my tax return because I was in a short position. I'd rather not have to wait until October to file. And I don't have experience on how much money if any I need to pay for the estimated taxes on this. (My expectation is $0 because my position was only for a couple of days.) And now because they corrected my dates, I'm worried their system may never send me a K-3 and I will never know if that was because I didn't need it because I didn't actually have to do the K-1/K-3 stuff because I was short, or because their system is now sufficiently broken because they can't handle the short.   I appreciate any responses and insights into this situation. Thank you.  

In the section for reporting foreign tax paid, I need to prepare individual Form 1116 reports for each country. I have foreign income reported on two separate 1099-Div forms that I have entered, but in the Turbo Tax section where I create the Forms 1116, I only have access to one of the 1099's which happens to be the smallest amount of foreign tax. Seems to be some sort of bug in the system that is not picking up the additional 1099-Div. I have verified that they are both properly entered. What do I do?
