Question

Need help with K1 PTP and Sales schedule

Hi can someone walk me through how to fill in the K1 interview on TT home & business? I searched the forums but I got more confused. So I purchased PTP in 2020 and sold all in 2021 so here is the step by step of what I'm doing:

 

 

 

 

 

On the next screen it shows enter sale information and this is where I have issues filling in the data since the sale price will be on 1099-B I'm entering 0 however I'm not sure what to enter in the rest of the fields so any help is appreciated. I attached the sales schedule for reference also.

 

 Do I enter for Partnership basis 9,798 from column 7 or 9830 from column 10? What to enter in the rest of the fields?

 

Thanks again

For the Ordinary Gain line, you'd enter 9798 in the first column, and 9106 in the AMT column.  You want to keep TT from calculating any Cap Gain/Loss here since you already have a 1099-B, so for Partnership Basis enter -9798 and -9106.  On the next screen, you'll see that Cap Gain/Loss is 0.  But the Ord Income will transfer to form 4797.

 

On your 1099-B, you'll change the cost to report the correct Cap Gain/Loss.  The K-1 should walk you through the math, but its [purchase cost] less [cum adjustments] plus [Ordinary Income]

Note:  Edited to fix formula.  Originally entered "less [Ordinary Income]" which is wrong

Thank you very much for your help nexchap. So I have to go manually into the 1099-B form and change the numbers?  So based on the calculation I will have -4956.72 loss instead of 817.41 gain? I attached screenshot for reference.

@EleK Looks like you bought these shares for $10,640.87 (cost basis on your 1099-B).  You should double-check your own records to verify, but usually what the broker reports is the purchase price.  Assuming that's right, your true cost basis is 10647.87-6617 = $4,030.87.  So you're TOTAL gain on the sale was $11,458.28 - $4,030.87 = $7,427.41.

 

However, that TOTAL gain is split between Ordinary Income and Capital Gain.  You're Ordinary Income is $9,798, so your Capital Gain/Loss must be ($2,370.59).  So the Basis you want on the 1099-B is $13,828.87.  That's actually your purchase price (10647) less your cumulative adjustment (6617) PLUS your ord income (9,798).  I apologize for my mistake in the formula provided earlier (I've edited it to make the correction).  I was typing too fast and didn't think it through.

 

Make sense?

I disagree enetering negative basis results in a gain twice the amount

basis should be entered as 0

ordinary income 9796/9796 (the amt adj is for the capital gain portion

then you need to adjust cost basis on the 1099-B

purchase price

less the adjustment to basis (assume it's a positive number) or add the purchase price and adj to basis as a negative (ex purchase price 26617-6617=20000)

add the ordinary income of 9796

so in my example the revised cost basis would be 29796

 

 

 

the amt adj to line 2k of 6251

you need to access the 6251 worksheet

you will come to  a line that says  disposition of property

there will be an amount  for regular tax.  reduce that by 692

then you will see a negative 692 on line 2k of the actual 6251

@Mike9241Thank you. I entered the 9,798 for the ordinary gain and then went into the form and it actually says to enter 0 on sales price and 0 on Partnership Basis. When I go to 1099-B Wks form I can't edit anything. also there is no 6251 form for some reason?😕😕 Also there is Schedule E Wks (I'm guessing worksheet) for Royalties. The line 7 on my K-1 form has 0.

Hey, your advice from a couple years ago has been extremely helpful but what if the sale of the PTP is only a partial sale...how do you enter the ordinary gain on the K-1 so that it flows to form 4797 correctly but doesn't trigger passive loss carryovers to offset? Since my understanding is you cannot use passive loss carryovers until the entire asset is disposed of.  Thanks!

@4catsandme The general instructions still apply:  on the screen for 'Enter Sales Information' put the Ordinary Gain on the line indicated (you may have different numbers for 'Regular' and AMT).  Entering it here will transfer it to Form 4797.  To avoid this screen creating new Cap Gain/Loss, enter the inverse of the Ord Gain on the 'Basis' line (so if Ord Gain was 100, enter -100) and 0 for Sales Price.  You'll see all 0s on the next screen if you've done this correctly.

Okay I have done that but it's offsetting the ordinary gain from the sale with passive loss carryovers on Schedule E.  I didn't think you were allowed to do this until the entire holding was sold.
