    How did you enter the transaction into TurboTax? Also, did you receive a K-1?

    Using info from a K-1. Partnership was dissolved by year end 2019. K-1 shows a basis and ending capital account with a positive number. K-1 notes that it is a final k-1. In TurboTax I checked the box for “disposed a portion of my interest” then indicated that I sold my interest receiving zero and noting the ending capital basis. This then shows a capital loss, but the loss does not carry to form 8949 as a Sale of a Capital Asset and therefor no benefit carries to the calculation of taxable income.
