Anyone who has realized gains from the sale or transfer of a property used for business purposes is required to file Form 4797 along with their regular tax return with the IRS for the year the gains were realized.

If you sold property that was your home and you also used it for business, you may need to use Form 4797 to report the sale of the part used for business (or the sale of the entire property if used entirely for business). Gain or loss on the sale of the home may be a capital gain or loss or an ordinary gain or loss.

When filling out Form 4797, entities must provide the following information: Description of the property. Purchase date. Sale or transfer date. Cost of purchase. Gross sales price. Depreciation amount (which is added to the sales price1? 1?

What form(s) do we need to fill out to report the sale of rental property? Report the gain or loss on the sale of rental property on Form 4797, Sales of Business Property or on Form 8949, Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets depending on the purpose of the rental activity.

Most deals are reportable with Form 4797, but some use 8949, mainly when reporting the deferral of a capital gain through investment in a qualified opportunity fund or the disposition of interests in such a fund. Use Form 4797 for sales, exchanges, and involuntary conversions.

Both are reporting gains or losses on the sale of property. However, a very distinct difference is that Schedule D is for gains/losses on personal property, while Form 4797 is for property used for business purposes.

Gains on the sale of business assets that are not capital assets are ordinary gains. They're taxed at ordinary income tax rates. They don't qualify for capital gains treatment. Enter your resulting gain or loss on line 14 of Form 1040 when you've completed Form 4797, and then attach Form 4797 to your tax return.
