S Corp sale of inventory how to record

S-Corp sold all of their inventory for the value listed in the balance sheet.  The sale was recorded as a debit to cash and credit to Current Assets-Inventory to zero out the balance sheet - there was no gain and no entry on the P&L.  However, when I input into Turbo tax the beginning inventory and then $0 for the ending inventory, it adjusts my profit/loss number on my P&L.  Should the sale of the inventory flow through my P&L?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Yes.  The other side of the entry is Dr. CGS and Cr. Sales / Revenue.

TT isn't an integrated software system for the entire business cycle, so you only adjusted the balance sheet and running it through CGS, which is necessary, is the income statement effect.

Okay that makes sense; however, is the cr. sales/revenue to Ordinary Income or to Other Income since the sale was not related to sales to customers but to an individual purchasing the business?
