Trying to prepare final form 1065. There is unamortized goodwill and closing costs on the books. Should I just amortize the entire leftover portion in the final return? Pro-series is calculating only current year portion only. Please advise.

The goodwill was "sold" on the last day of the entity.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Thanks for the response. that means, goodwill loss will go to form 4797 as trade or business loss. Only startup cost needs to be force amortize. Am I right? 

 

Thank you!!
