PTP- publicly traded partnership partial sales I made the following purchases and sales of the publicly traded partnership (PTP) Blackstone (BX). You'll note the sales are of partial interests in the partnership with holding periods of more than a year (i.e. LT gains) for each interest. However, I don't know how to report the sales in order to meet both the"unified basis" requirement of Rev. Rul. 84-53 and the holding period reporting requirement of Reg. 1.223-3(c)(2)(i). Do I report them each as separate transactions on the Schedule D in order to identify the holding periods as the Reg. suggests? Or do I aggregate them as one sale so they can have a "unified basis" as the Rev. Rul. requires?
I am really struggling to make sense of this. Any help you can offer is much appreciated. The transactions were as follows:
