Where do we report? we sold equipment to a third party, and we are receiving payments over 3 years. how do we declare this on the 1120S?

 Form 4797 and possibly Form 6252 (after depreciation is accounted for).

4797 is a capital gains dividends form.

our company sold equipment, and is receiving payments over a three year period. This money is distributed among four shareholders. How do we classify this, as it is not revenue but a repayment

I think you have some reading to do

https://www.irs.gov/publications/p544

@abctax55 gave you the correct answer to your question. Are you doing the tax return or just trying to create some type of bookkeeping entry?

You are confused. The Sale is a sale. The taking of money might be possible because someone is making payments on the sale. You don't decide what is or is not revenue vs repayment. Circumstances make it clear.

You do seem to be lost on the internet. This is not a TurboTax community.
