I inherited a 1/11th interest in real estate. The heirs formed an LLC and the real estate was subsequently sold. I received a K-1 showing the capital gain on the sale. I believe my cost basis in the real estate was the 1/11th of the value on the date it was inherited. Where do I record my cost basis to reduce the LLC gain?

Any capital gain or loss calculations for this transaction is reported by the LLC, who in turn will issue you a K-1 that reports your share of the capital gains! Thus, the total reported to you no the K-1 reflects your distributive share of the capital gain on the sale of the inherited property, (that is 1/11th share of the overall capital gain).
