Business & farm

Once again, I will reiterate that sitting down with a tax professional where you can have a one on one discussion would be significantly better.  We have very limited information or understanding of the business.

As a follow-up to your response:

  • As stated previously, class IV and V items are handled differently and you have not indicated what that split is.
  • We don't know how you have handled what you are calling "consumables".  
    • Are these expensed when purchased?
    • Are these sold as part of your services?
    • Without a clear understanding of these items, it is not possible to provide direction as to where these go on the tax return.
    • As noted in bullet one, the purchase price allocated to these items is important.
  • Other responses have shown where to address class V property within TT.
    • Even though the equipment is fully depreciated, you will need to allocate the value associated with the class V property to all the assets.
    • You will need to indicate in TT what depreciation has been taken.
    • You will have ordinary income recapture to the extent of all depreciation previously taken.
  • Class VI and VII property will be treated the same. 
    • As stated previously, unless you purchased either an intangible or goodwill in a separate transaction, this category will have a zero basis.
    • As stated previously, these assets will be reported on form 8949 which will then flow to Schedule D

Also keep in mind the date of replies, as tax law changes.
