Business & farm

I agree with @AmeliesUncle .

You have two transactions going on here.

  • First you "sold" a business asset that was fully depreciated and received $17,000.  You just need to indicate in TT that the vehicle was sold.  This will generate a $17,000 gain on the form 4797.
  • Second, you then used those proceeds to purchase another vehicle; a personal vehicle.
  • These two transactions are separate.  There is no conversion of a business vehicle to personal vehicle.  The business vehicle is gone.
