What to enter for Depreciation for expensed assets with Sale of Business Assets Form 4797

[MissyKayK]

Self-employed with business website and domain. Stopped working previous year due to disability. 

Following year, selling website domain and website content (not entire business). 

Filling out form 4797 in turbotax.

I expensed both in previous years -- website & domain as advertising costs.

  1) What do I put in the field for "Depreciation taken on this property"?  0??

2) Next question asks if this is property I took a depreciation on. It's not. Very confused what to do here.

3) Figure I can still expense costs to maintain the website like hosting fees. Do these get taken off price of sale or in regular business expenses?

Thanks!

Elect to capitalize the costs to maintain and add to basis.....your depreciation is 0 because these were advertising expenses written off and now your basis in them is also 0 = 100% gain.
