I have a new client that bought an acupuncture practice in 2022 consisting of just the book of business, no other assets. She paid 55k with a 10k down payment and is paying the rest in installments over two years with no interest. She had a sole-proprietorship acupuncture business prior to the purchase and she became an s corp mid-year. So, I'm wondering how to show this on her tax return--do we need to file form 8594? Is there any other forms that need to be filed or other tax considerations?

Any advice on this is appreciated. Thank you!

This question has me on pins-and-needles.   đŸ¤Ŗ

If the only thing bought is the client list, no, you don't need Form 8594.

I think the only thing you need to do with it is amortize the cost.
