Sorry, getting back to this now, as I need to finish my taxes before my next trip.

Actually the number on 4797 part 1, $9,859, seems to be the total of allowed losses from all of my k-1's.
Why is that same number shown as a gain on 4797 instead?
I think if you look closely you'll see that whenever you have a useable loss, they show the equivalent amount of gain for it to offset. That amount of gain is then subtracted off your original gain to get your net gain.
there should be a page 3 to form 8582 where you should see where the 4797 gain is coming from.
