An exchange of city property for farm property, or improved property for unimproved property, is a like-kind exchange. Some examples of this type of property are a building in which you live and operate a grocery, and a building in which you live on the first floor and rent out the second floor. There is no test or group of tests to prove what the parties intended when they made the agreement. You should consider each agreement based on its own facts and circumstances.

Examples of fixed assets include land, buildings, equipment, furniture, fixtures, vehicles, and computers.

Gain on sale of asset is an accounting term that refers to the increase in capital resulting from the sale of a fixed asset. A fixed asset is an asset that a company owns and uses in the production of goods or services but is not intended for resale.

In some cases, the replacement property may have been produced after you identified it (as described earlier in Replacement property to be produced). In that case, to determine whether the property you received was substantially the same property that met the identification requirement, do not take into account any variations due to usual production changes. Substantial changes in the property to be produced, however, will disqualify it.

If, in 2022, you engaged in any transaction involving virtual currency, check the “Yes” box next to the question on virtual currency on page 1 of Form 1040 or 1040-SR. Also, if you disposed of any virtual currency in 2022 that was held as a capital asset through a sale, exchange, or transfer, use Form 8949 to figure your capital gain or loss and report it on Schedule D (Form 1040). If a sale or exchange is between any of these related persons and involves the lump-sum sale of a number of blocks of stock or pieces of property, the gain or loss must be figured separately for each block of stock or piece of property. Gains from the sales of any of these items may not be offset by losses on the sales of any of the other items.

The residual method must be used for any transfer of a group of assets that constitutes a trade or business and for which the buyer’s basis is determined only by the amount paid for the assets.

If the gain is more than the depreciation recapture income, report the rest of the gain using the rules of the installment method. For this purpose, include the recapture income in your installment sale basis to determine your gross profit on the installment sale. If you can show that the deduction allowed for any tax year was less than the amount allowable, the lesser figure will be the depreciation adjustment for figuring additional depreciation. Tree stumps are a capital asset if they are on land held by an investor who is not in the timber or stump business as a buyer, seller, or processor. Gain from the sale of stumps sold in one lot by such a holder is taxed as a capital gain.
