Sold half of business for 16,000. How do I enter this in taxes.

The sale of a business is reported as an Investment Sale. Search on "investment sales" and use the jump-to link to go to the start of that section. If you have other investment sales already entered, choose "Add more sales" at the bottom of the page. Enter only the information for the half that you sold.
