    I've found it to be easiest to report it on the 1099-B, but you still need to enter the K-1 as well.  The trick is to make sure that the Cap Gain only gets reported once.  Here's a thread that discusses it in more detail:  https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/investments-and-rental-properties/discussion/how-i-report-the-sale-of-mlp-shares-in-turbo-tax-i-sold-all-shares/00/776624

    So I enter ordinary gain as $37,689 and AMT gain as -4,001? So my adjusted basis is my original purchase amount minus $21,762?  Then my capital gain is sales proceed - adjusted basis - ordinary income?  Thanks for your help?

    Sort of.

     

    AMT gain is $4,001 less than Ordinary Gain, so $33,688.

     

    Your overall cost basis is 21,762 less than your purchase price.  So your TOTAL gain is sale price less overall cost basis.  But that TOTAL gain is split -- part of it is taxed as Ordinary Gain, and part is taxed as Cap Gain.  So you need to make sure the Cap Gain that appears on your 1099-B reflects that.
