Tax Question - K1

So I had my taxes done about a month ago...had all of my paperwork and I've already sent in my check, and it's been cashed.

had some income from selling a few shares of the USO oil fund (way too early apparently). ANyway, they just sent me a freaking K1 in the mail and it says that I need to include it in my income taxes.

Few things:

The amount I made off this limited partnership was already claimed using a capital gains form. BUT, my wife got a K1 from an oil partnership with her family so I saw my accountant used a form just for that.

So, do I need to get my return ammended to put that income (only $500) into a special K1 type form? Or will it be ok when just claimed as capital gains?

And lastly -- will this screw me over by throwing up a red flag either way? If I fix it, am I asking for trouble? And if I leave it, am I asking for trouble?
 
Technically yes you need to amend. There is usually more on a K-1 than just capital gains.

Too many people get into partnership not knowing they are going to get a K-1 which don't have to be sent out on any deadline. One of my LP's usually gets me my K-1 by May 1st.
