Section 179 Carryover - Disposition

How do I handle in Lacerte - I have a final partnership return with a section 179 carryover. I have properly disposed of the asset in the depreciation screen with no sales price since it was an abandonment of a leasehold improvement. I am thinking that the disallowed S179 should be released like a passive loss but it does not. The 4562 still reports a carryover (return is marked final).

Is there a checkbox I am missing? Trying to figure out how to handle. I did increase the basis of the property and that did work but the 4797 reporting looks forced.

Anyone?

Why was the 179 carried over? Lack of business income? Lack of basis? Not at risk?

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

Here is the solution:

Go to Screen 22 - Other Schedule K Items. Select Section - 179 Deduction (4562) (the very last section)and go to the field "Taxable income for limitation (O)" and enter the Section 179 carryover amount. That will zero out Line 13 - Carryover of disallowed deduction to 2021 on Form 4562, without affecting the balance sheet.

Hi - Yes, I have completed that step to remove the c/o from the 4562 + QBI Section 199A and the "general Info".

Thanks for your response.
