My client registered a single member LLC and bought a property under its name. A little more than a year and after incurring some expenses, sold that property. I'm trying to report the sale and capital gain. How do I report the sale of an asset under schedule C?

The only purpose of this single member LLC was to buy this property, demolish and build a new property and sell it. The old property was demolished but nothing was built and it was finally sold. It is under the name of the company not the taxpayer. That's why I think it should be reported under the schedule C for that company.

Well it would have been Schedule D, if it was under client name.

Even though it's not under the name of the taxpayer? Is there an option to show it's connected to schedule C?

Yes.
No. Schedule C is only appropriate if this was a business. Having something titled in the name of an LLC does not make it a business.
SMLLC disregarded for tax purposes means it is disregarded for tax purposes. You make believe it had John's name on it instead of John LLC.
The more I know the more I don’t know.
