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):
  1. In the Quick Entry Grid, click on Details to expand the input section.
  2. Scroll to the General Disposition Information section.
  3. Enter the date sold in the field Date sold, disposed or retired (MANDATORY).
  4. Enter any Basis adjustments (if applicable).
  5. Enter the Expense of sale or exchange.
  6. Scroll down to the Sale of Asset (4797/6252) section.
  7. Enter the Sales price for the bulk sale.
  8. 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:

  1. In the Quick Entry Grid, click on Details to expand the input section.
  2. Scroll to the General Disposition Information section.
  3. Enter the Date sold in the field Date sold, disposed of, retired.
  4. Enter the Asset number for the main asset in the field Bulk sale (multi-asset disposition: select the asset containing disposition amounts).
  5. 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?
