Sold Business

Purchase Price Allocation:

How would you enter that on the return for a S Corp?

Thank you!

All go under dispositions.

Equip & LHI sale should flow to 4797, Goodwill to 8949 (some put it on 4797)

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Run the equip & LHI thru using Screen 16.

The goodwill (I'm assuming self created) will go thru Screen 23.
