I have a client that sold their business. $300,000. $60,000 for assets, $10,0000 non compete, $230,000 good will. Installment sale . doing this in 2019 Lacerte.
Installment sale- received $ 84,964.56 received 1st year.
I am filling out the depreciation page and not getting it to work, and am hoping someone can let me know what I am doing wrong.
Assets have a basis of $ 36,534.00 , sold for $60,000- so there is a recapture of $23,466.00 that needs to occur. ( total assets were $ 237,719, Accumulated depreciation $ 201,185). $ 175,014 was section 179, 10,328.00 was bonus and 15,843.00 was normal depreciation). I did remember that all the gain needs to be recognized this year as it is recapture. The K-1 supplemental information is stating: Sale price correctly, the cost correctly, the section 179 previously reported correctly, but is stating depreciation allowed or allowable as $ 26,172.00. Shouldn't this be $23,466?
Then if I allocate $60K of the $84,964.56 received this year to the asset sale, that leave $24,964.56 that I can allocate to Good will and Covenant not to compete. Goodwill will go as a capital gain and the covenant not to compete will go as ordinary income. Do I set up 2 installment sales? ( one for goodwill and one for the non compete) or can they be combined into one?
I believe I would enter both the Goodwill and Covenant not to compete on the disposition page.
I want to thank you in advance for any insight you can give me, is greatly appreciated.
