A farm asset ( a barn) is now an event venue, a new business. How do I move the asset?

Enter the date of disposition on the old asset worksheet. Leave the sales price blank. There should not be any gain or loss.

Enter a new asset worksheet with the existing basis plus improvements, if any, linked to the new business.

You can move the asset to a different activity.

Open the asset entry worksheet, then top menu bar   Forms  > Change Activity  and choose the new Sch C business

If the barn was being depreciated using less than 39 years, make sure you adjust it to 39 years.
