Per the Form 4797 instructions, S-corporations need to separately report to the shareholders the sale, exchange, or other disposition of assets where a section 179 expense deduction was claimed in a previous year. These asset dispositions are no longer reported on federal Forms 4797, 4684, 6252, or 8824, but instead are separately reported on federal Schedule K, line 17d and in the Schedule K-1 statements. The gain or loss on the disposition of section 179 assets is calculated from information entered in the federal Screens SalePT, 8824PT, K1Sale, and 8824 in the K1 P/T folder.
The application reduces the basis of the asset by the amount of the section 179 deduction when calculating the gain or loss. This amount will be included on Form IL-1120-ST, Step 2, line 6, and Schedule K-1-P, line 31. A not required statement will print detailing this amount. Use the Force field to override the calculated amount. If
0
(zero) is entered no adjustment will be made.
