For instance - if you sell a rental property - the sale is reported on form 4797, but if you sell a land that was held for investment only and not for production income -the sale is reported on form 8949. If you sell stocks, bonds, etc - these are reported on form 8949.

Key Takeaways. Form 4797 is a tax form distributed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Form 4797 is used to report gains made from the sale or exchange of business property, including property used to generate rental income, and property used for industrial, agricultural, or extractive resources.

Use Schedule D (Form 1040) to report the following: The sale or exchange of a capital asset not reported on another form or schedule. Gains from involuntary conversions (other than from casualty or theft) of capital assets not held for business or profit.

Generally, the gain is reported on Form 8949 and Schedule D. However, part of the gain on the sale or exchange of the depreciable property may have to be recaptured as ordinary income on Form 4797. Use Part III of Form 4797 to figure the amount of ordinary income recapture.

When filling out Form 4797, entities must provide the following information: a description of the property, purchase date, sale or transfer date, cost of purchase, gross sales price, and the depreciation amount.

The recapture amount is included on line 31 (and line 13) of Form 4797. See the instructions for Part III. If the total gain for the depreciable property is more than the recapture amount, the excess is reported on Form 8949.

Use Form 4797 to report: The sale or exchange of property. The involuntary conversion of property and capital assets. The disposition of noncapital assets.

IRS Form 4797 has much more specific utilization, while Schedule D is a required form for anyone reporting personal gains in general. So when filling out Schedule D, you'll be automatically referred to Form 4797 if you are reporting gains from the sale of business property.
