An investment partnership makes a distribution of marketable securities.  What information do I need to include on the partner's K-1?  Do I need to code it on the K-1 or is it considered supplemental information?  It is not a liquidating distribution.

It is a distribution, just like cash, but with a value of basis of the shares as the distribution.  I would suggest a supplemental statement of the shares distributed and the basis of those shares. 

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

I think the distribution is done at FMV, but the partner's basis in these shares is the partnership's basis.

The more I know the more I don’t know.
