    • Rent & Royalty folder
    • Farm folder
    • Farm Rental folder
    If the information reported on Form 1099-A pertains to a particular activity, enter the information on the

  • Per IRS Publication 544, Sales and Other Dispositions of Assets, report the cancellation of a nonbusiness debt as other income on Form 1040, line 21.
  • Per IRS Publication 544, Sales and Other Dispositions of Assets, a loss from abandonment of business or investment property is deductible as an ordinary loss, even if the property is a capital asset. The loss is the property's adjusted basis when abandoned.
  • If the taxpayer received Form 1099-A for property that's for personal use, UltraTax CS doesn't calculate a loss and it's a non-deductible personal loss. Refer to Publication 4681 for more information.
