When I purchased the assets I elected to write them all off so their basis was 0.


You have nothing to report in that event since this was business property and it was discarded, although you should have reported that the assets were disposed of in that tax year. 

 

Effectively, you sold assets that had a $0 basis for $0. There is no gain or loss as a result.
