partial disposition of business property

My client had part of her land taken by the highway department for expanding the road and made 272 on that portion of the land.  How do I report that (it's a business property)?

Just put it on the 4797 part one not on the asset sheet

It is reported as a sale,

When I put the sale in the disposition part, it takes a loss on the whole value of the land.  I can't figure out how to tell it that it was only a fraction of the asset.

If this is on form 4797, how does it change the amount in the Depreciation schedule

You'll have to manually make an adjustment to the cost.  I would use a supporting statement to note the original cost and the date, amount, and reason for a reduction.
