    This is not a C Corp and the investment is totally worthless.  This was not a restructure.  They do not exist anymore.  Their assets were transferred and liquidated.  I am not concerned about proving that the investment is worthless.  I could prove that if questioned by the IRS.  My only concern is how to record it using turbotax.  I need help in being pointed in the right direction of how to do it.


    Based on the limited information:

    • If you never received a K-1, then I am assuming that you have never entered any information into TT regarding this investment; i.e. Schedule E and potentially reflected as a passive activity.
    • As a result, I would just enter the information directly on form 8949 which will then flow to Schedule D
    • You would enter it just as a stock sale as you received no proceeds and you know what you invested.  Just use the name of the investment entity in the description column.
    • TT will handle the rest

    This was an E-commerce company structured as an LLC that was poorly run.  They had raised money through debt, equity positions, and preferred dividend units.  They eventually filed bankruptcy in 2023.  They had issued 1099-INTs and 1099-DIVs, but never K-1s.
