Sold Data List

A 990 client sold a Data List (Names & Addresses).  This is not what they are in business for (this list was a self generated list).  Where should I input this in Lacerte?

Will they have to pay tax on the gain?

Thank you so much for your answer.

If it's unrelated business income.

When you research this, consider whether they really sold it or "rented" it for xx uses or x months.

Also look at what type of entity the buyer is.

They sold their business list of names and addresses.  They are going out of business next year.  There basis is $0, but they claim it took $5,022 of labor to create.

I put it in 'Unrelated Business Income' in screen 20, giving it a business code of 900099 and an amount of $5,022.  

On screen 1 do I put for 'Type Of Return' 990-T only?
