Client replaced roof on a rental property.  The old roof was not fully depreciated and therefore is a loss.  The loss on Form 4797 Part 1 is 0.  Why is the loss not reported?

You entered the date of disposal of the old roof on the asset entry worksheet with 0 as the sales price?  or how did you dispose of the old roof?

Yes I entered information on the asset input sheet.  It shows the loss on the asset input sheet but not on Part 1 of the 4797.  The transaction shows but with 0 loss.
