Screen SalePT - Sale of Section 179 Assets (1065)

Show all hidden content

Overview

When filing Form 1065, use this screen to enter information for current-year or prior-year installment disposals of assets for which a section 179 expense deduction was previously passed through to the partners. For 1065 and 8865 returns, Forms 4684, 4797, 6252, and 8824 for the partnership aren't completed for these types of asset dispositions. Instead, each asset disposition is separately reported on the Section 179 Sales Worksheet.
