Installment Sale of a Rental Property

[prkwork]

Where does one best enter the data related to the installment sale of a rental property? For the rental property, disposition is entered in the Depreciation screen, Disposition tab. This gives the depreciation expense for the property for the year sold (up to the sale date, though I find that it miscalculates). Farther down in that screen is a section for installment sales, but it seems incomplete. Should I leave this area blank and put all the installment sales data into the Dispositions / Schedule D entry screen? Will a disposition entered here interfere with the disposition shown in the Depreciation section, in the tab for the property sold? Overall advice on this would be appreciated.

If the installment data are to be entered in Dispositions / Schedule D, it would appear that there is no ability for the software to take data to calculate the years the proceeds will be received. So, is this is all to be manual calculation and then entry year-by-year here?

Look to form 6252

On asset worksheet double-click link to 6252. On 6252 double-clink to link to Sch E. Info from Asset will transfer to 6252. Percentage gain/sales price will calculate, 4797 page 2 also, but no income will appear until you enter Payments received.

Received $xxx, gain is yyy%, taxable gain is $zzz, 4797 page 1, line 4 and Sch D line 11 are now completed.

{Edit} Sorry, this is how Pro Series does it.
