Report sale of publicly traded partnership after importing data from brokerage and receiving K-1 form 1065 to avoid double reporting of gain or loss

Where in the step by step interview process do I make adjustments for the difference between the brokerage basis for the PTP units and the basis reported on the K-1 sales schedule? Simply entering the sale information and the partnership basis in the PTP in the interview process results in a double taxation. Do I delete the brokerage transactions for the PTP or do I make adjustments for the amounts reported in the PTP interview process for entering sales info. Do I adjust the sale price to be equal to the basis reported by the brokerage and then increase or decrease the Partnership basis to reflect the actual basis?

@userOne To keep the K-1 interview from messing up your return, on the Sales screen enter the Ordinary Gain on the appropriate line (you may have different numbers for Regular vs AMT), enter its inverse on the cost basis line (e.g., if Ord Gain is $100, cost basis is -100), and put 0 for Sales Price. Now the K-1 won't create any new 1099-B entries.

For your cost basis, you'll adjust the value your broker provided on the 1099-B. You'll be given the opportunity to make those changes in the interview, or you can just do it directly in 'forms' mode.
