how to input sales of one partner 's share (50%) in the final 1065

Hello, I am filing the final 2020 1065 partnership return (2 partners) and one partner sold her share (50%) to the other partner (my client). I don't know how to put this sale in the final 1065 tax return.

Besides, she sold her share in Dec 2019 but the previous tax preparer did not file the final return 1065 for the 2019 tax period. Do I have to file the final 1065 return for the 2020  short tax period? if yes, do I have to file the sole proprietor for my client for the 2020 tax period? 

What should I do to convert from partnership to sole proprietor?

The selling partner reports the sale on his 2019 1040. 

Again, it is not a partnership 1065 transaction.

Sale of one partner's interest to the other partner is not reportable on the 1065.

The Partnership terminated in 2019. There is no short year filing for 2020.

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

Was the sale date Dec 31 2019?  Can you amend the 2019 to mark as final?   

For 2020 - to convert from F1065 to Schedule C - just prepare Sched C with LLC name and EIN

The IRS would never even notice that "final" mark on it.  Just let it die a natural death and move on to the 2020 schedule C.
