Taxizen Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 In a tax free reorganization, the basis of the property received is the same as that of the acquired corporation's basis. My question is how I show the fixed asset on the ASSET ENTRY. Do I continue to use the original asset cost and date placed in service for the acquring corporation's return? Any input is appreciated. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulldogTom Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 TAXIZEN, Why don't you try duplicating the return, changing the main form (1040 to 1065/1120) and see if the assets move over and populate. I think you would have to just go into Asset Entry and change the link from the Sch C to the new form. Might save a bunch of typing? Never had to do it myself, just thinking out loud.

Tom Lodi, CA You can only have one signature form in each return. Is it possible to delete the 1040? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you take a 1040 EZout and put a 1040 in, it lets you. Will it go from a 1040 to a 1120 and keep all the supporting schedules? I don't know, but I would try before typing in all the assets.
