Prior C Corp assets with 179 - Disposition with Prior Section 179 Does Not Produce a Form 4797 for prior C-Corp assets in anS-Corporation

I understand why this occurs for S-Corp assets that had 179 that flowed through to shareholders.  However, why would this occur for assets that were in a prior C-Corporation that was converted to an S-Corp at a later date?  179 was NOT flowed through based on in-service dates compared to S-Corp Conversion Dates.

Answered my own question - FMV and adjusted basis at the time of conversion must be entered in order for the asset to be reported on 4797 as a prior C-Corp asset subject to built-in gains.
