If you have a few assets, you can allocate the sale proceeds and expenses to each asset based on the relative cost basis. But if you have one main asset and many small ones, you may instead "write off" the smaller assets at their remaining basis with a zero sale amount. Then report the entire sale to the main asset. The net result is the same.
