I sold my S-Corp's assets in 2022. The Equipment component was a cash sale and the Goodwill component was an installment sale covering 3 years. My question is what does my Balance Sheet look like at the end of 2022 (Year 1)? The company isn't operating anymore, so I am thinking that the only asset I have is the Installment Income Receivable? What about the offsetting capital entry?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
if there was no plan of liquidation as described by @Rick19744 so that he S-Corp remains alive. in the simplest scenario (balance sheet) using tax basis accounting there would be the receivable, deferred gain (a liability) and offsetting amount in a shareholder equity account or accounts. if using proper accounting then only the receivable and equity. the gain recognized each year would be shown in the M-1 line 2.
oh and the S-corp return is due 9/15 not 10/15
the original due date of the S-corp return was 3/15/2023 the 7004, if filed, gives you a 6 month extension.
The vast majority of balance sheet issues are beyond the purview of this board and/or are not conducive to being resolved via this board's format.
I will page @Rick19744 and @Mike9241 for any further input.
I would strongly recommend you get some assistance from a tax professional. There are a number of issues that come into play here:

Thank you. This makes sense to me. The S-Corp was not liquidated. According to the Form 4797 I have a Deferred Gain of $131,360 (section 1231) at the end of 2022. My receivable is $250,00. How do I make it balance?
I understand that every time I receive an installment I make an entry on M-1 Line 2, per the Form 6252.
Thanks for the reminder about the September 15th deadline.
