Instructions and Help about 2016 irs form 6252

In this talk I'll go through what an installment sale is and how it's reported for taxes, so there are two characteristics that create an installment sale first is that payment for the property you sold is received over two or more tax years second is that there is a gain on the sale of your property if you have an installment sale you can use the installment sale method rules to report a portion of the gain each year when you actually receive payment now the rules define calculating that gain each year but if you do not want to use the installment sale rules you can elect out of them by simply reporting the gain in full in the year of the sale so to make this election you simply report the gain in full but the installment sale method rules are advantageous because they allow you to defer paying the taxes on the sale until you've actually received the income so to report the gain in full during the year you would simply complete the relevant form to report the game for property used in a trade or business you'd complete form 47 97 sale of business property or for most personal property you'd report the sale on Schedule D for capital gains and losses and form 8949 sales and other dispositions of capital assets now if you are using the installment sale method to calculate the portion of the gain each year then you complete form six to five to installment sale and come first and then the relevant amount will flow to form 47 97 or the Schedule D and 8949 as required so with an installment sale there are a few items to calculate first is the gain on the sale of the property in total, so this is your total proceeds receive minus the adjusted basis in the property, so there are many detailed rules for calculating gain or loss for different types of property and be aware that for property used in a trade or business the calculation involves recapturing depreciation for the property second is the amount of gain recognized for the payment in the current year and third is the interest income on the sale each installment sale payment you receive will usually be made up of three parts return of your adjusted basis gain on sale and interest income so why do we have to calculate these items for the installment sell well because not all three items can be taxed the same the adjusted basis in the property is a return on your investment and therefore is not taxed at all while interest income is always taxed at ordinary individual income tax rates and gains on sale may have special more favorable tax rates all the three amounts are calculated on the installment sale form six to five two and then flow to their relevant form to be reported, but the installment sell form is completed every year you receive a payment and included with your return let's talk a little more about the interest income piece now because of the passage of time an installment sale is effectively giving the buyer alone and therefore an installment sale always has interest income if an...
