Hello 123csm!
I'm making an assumption that you're entering a bulk sale. Please correct me if I'm wrong!
For a bulk sale, ensure you have entered all building, land, improvements, etc. as separate assets.
On the main asset for the bulk sale (typically the main building):
- In the Quick Entry Grid, click on Details to expand the input section.
- Scroll to the General Disposition Information section.
- Enter the date sold in the field Date sold, disposed or retired (MANDATORY).
- Enter any Basis adjustments (if applicable).
- Enter the Expense of sale or exchange.
- Scroll down to the Sale of Asset (4797/6252) section.
- Enter the Sales price for the bulk sale.
- Scroll to review the other fields for any other information related to the bulk sale.
Note: When selling a building, land, and improvements, use the building as the main asset. In all other situations, use the lowest number asset as the main asset .
For all subsequent assets associated with the same bulk sale, make two entries:
- In the Quick Entry Grid, click on Details to expand the input section.
- Scroll to the General Disposition Information section.
- Enter the Date sold in the field Date sold, disposed of, retired.
- Enter the Asset number for the main asset in the field Bulk sale (multi-asset disposition: select the asset containing disposition amounts).
- Review all other fields for possible required entries. Keep in mind that all information regarding the sale is entered on the main asset (e.g. sales price)
Note: All assets in a bulk sale must be of the same type - that is, 1245, or 1250, or intangible, etc. This classification is determined by what depreciation method is used. Prepare a separate bulk sale for each different category of asset.
If you're following those steps, what specifically isn't coming out correct?
