We are an S-corp and I sold assets that need a 179 recapture of depreciation.  The 1120S form does not have a place to report this.  I read something about the recapture being reported on the Schedule K's.  My depreciation expense is not showing the recapture either.  Can someone please explain how this is being handled?  Where would I verify the amount is showing on the Schedule K?  Do I need to enter it on the Schedule K manually?  If so where.  Do I do enter it anywhere on the 1120s?

Need to put that on your 1120S as sale of asset and should flow to K-1 with a report.

the gain should appear on form 4797 part III and will show up on a separate line on schedules K and K-1

Why does my 1120s not include form 4797?  The 179 disposition report does not allow me to record the recapture either.
