The correct way to report the sale of business assets is to compute the sale separately from expenses.  You deduct expenses as expenses, full amount.  

 

When selling a business asset:

  1. Yes - Edit the item as sold/disposed in the Asset Summary list, BUT
  2. No - You do not need to include the sale price as income elsewhere.

Just enter the information on the sale and TurboTax will calculate any gain/loss and include it on Form 4797 for your business.

 

Expenses should be deducted separate from the sale of asset unless a sales expense.
