The selling price should be allocated between assets when a property is sold. You can enter a zero for assets that may not have any significant selling price such as an appliance that is on your depreciation schedule that has no real value at the time of sale.
- Allocation of consideration paid for a business. The sale of a trade or business for a lump sum is considered a sale of each individual asset rather than of a single asset.
The gain from the land will be handled slightly differently than the sale of the building and improvements, if applicable. The building and improvements sale with a gain could be taxed at a maximum of 25% if your ordinary tax rate is higher. Land could have capital gains tax rates because it is not a depreciable asset (if owned more than one year). This means that any gain from the land portion of the sale could be taxed at a lower rate (maximum rate of 20%) if your ordinary income tax is higher.
Any other asset, such as an appliance, as example, if a selling price is considered and appropriate in your case, is not real property (land, buildings and structural components). Any gain from this asset would be taxed at your ordinary tax rate to the extent of any depreciation claimed in the past.
