Regular Gain or Loss.  Do I enter sale price ???

No selling expense    (none)

Is Partnership Basis the price I paid when I purchased it 9 years ago ???

    Yes, you enter the sales price you received.  

     

    Your basis in the partnership is the amount you originally invested, plus income reported on the K-1s, minus losses on K-1 and distributions you received.  If you invested more money into the partnership that also adds to your basis.

     

    If you invested in the partnership more than 1 year ago, when you sell your investment is it a Long Term Capital Gain/Loss.

     

    This can be complicated to figure this information, because there may be other factors that add to your basis or reduce it.
