Client has a K-1 with box 17E for two assets there were disposed of with prior section 179 expense. How do I treat this? One of the assets is a 2003 Trailer of which $17,323 was Sec 179 and the K-1 says $0 (no) depreciatio allowed or allowable. The other asset is a 2001 Navigator of which $12,000 Sec 179 was previously reported and $5,536 was allowed or allowable.

Does anybody out there know how to treat this on the 1040?

I would greatly appreciate guidance.

You're going to need more information to complete the transaction. You'll need to know sales price, original cost, expense of sale, etc. Line 17E is information for the sale of assets for which Sec. 179 expense was passed through to the shareholders. Hope this helps.

All of this information has been supplied as supplemental information from the K-1. I just don't know where on the tax return these numbers belong. Can you help?

Once again - does anybody understand this? I have a Trailer purchased 10/31/03 and sold 10/31/05. Sales price was $10,000 and purchase price was $17,323. Section 179 expense deduction previously reported was $17,323. The K-1 says there no depreciation allowed or allowable.

I put this informtaion on 4797 on the 1040 return and come up with the $10,000 gain. It was my impression that I would have to recapture some of the 179 - the amount in excess of what normal MACRS would have allowed for the two years the asset was held.

I'm struggling to grasp what I need to do.
