Client sold his share of an LLC. Long-term passive gain is recognized.

I entered the transaction directly using the Capital gain/loss worksheet, but I can't come up with the code for the transaction to be recognized as a passive long-term gain.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for any help!

Don't enter it there.

On the K-1 worksheet, above line 1 there is a "Quickzoom" button about dispositions.  Click that and enter the sales information there.

What software are you using?

Usually there is a way to link it to a K-1 activity.

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

Pro Series Basic

Gain is shown as a note in Box 20 (the amount is correct as it's the net of the selling price and the reduction of the shareholder's capital account)

Thanks for your help!
