Installment Sale - Real Estate Inventory

Jan 09, 2020 Last reply: 6 years ago 1 Replies

Hi All -



I got a question more appropriate for some of you than for me, and I haven't been able to figure it out.



An individual sells real estate as inventory (i.e. not capital gain property), but does so as installment sales.



How does he report those? Schedule C or D? Form 4797 or 6252? I looked into it and I'm confused.



Thanks for any insight you can give.


OK, for anyone interested I found the answer - the sale of inventory, whether personal or real property, simply does not qualify for installment sale treatment.
