Section 1231 gains on K-1

I was a shareholder in a bank corporation that was sold in 2020. I had inherited the stock so I have an increase between the cost basis when inherited and the sale price. The corporation K-1 shows an Section 1231 gain on the 1120 S. Is this gain in addition to the gain between cost basis and sale price or part of it?

The basis is obviously stepped up to the FMV on the date of death, but you should have kept track of the K-1s you got each year. It can get tricky unless it was handled right from the beginning and it's likely that the gain occurred post-death and not part of your inherited basis.
