How do I post sale of inventory as partial sale of business? I put on 4797 and it is showing as long term capital gain

Sale of inventory (in bulk) is no different than selling it bit by bit over time.

It's ordinary income. It goes on the same line regular sales in the normal course of business would go.

How is it "as partial sale of business?"

They sold out a specific product line and intend to stop that activity? There is no tax provision for this. Did they sell something else, that makes this "part of the business?"
