What EXACTLY was sold?
- Did the shareholder sell the corporate stock?
- Did the corporation sell its assets? If so, what kind of assets?
- Something else?

Hello,
Looking at the settlement statement from the lawyer I would say it was the assets of this business that were sold. They bought the name and all of the assets, which were those of a take out restaurant. Do I show the sale of each asset? Then this will show a capital gain or loss on the K1?

Sch D and/or F 4797, depending on the answers to Bill's (excellent) questions.
And yep, basis should be considered unless you want to really short-change your client.
