Taxpayer received final K-1 (limited partner) that have negative ending capital balance.  Taxpayer did receive $119 distribution during the year.  But, Partnership was sold and he did not receive any residual from the buyer.

1. do I report $119 as capital gain distribution?  If yes, where to input this?

2. do we need to report ~$3k negative capital as gain?

You just run everything through the usual basis calculations. Your guy likely has distributions in excess of basis and/or losses suspended for lack of basis.

Capital account is not necessarily indicative of basis.

So, we need to report $119 excess distribution through long-term capital gain in Sch D?

Distributions in excess of basis do go on Schedule D, yes.

Is it true also, if the final year of Ptrnshp, Partner's Neg capital balance can be reported on his or her's Sch D as LTCL?

I think you have that going the wrong way.  A negative capital basis would not be a loss.
