You seem to be describing income without any basis.

Goodwill is a capital asset and the sale goes on Schedule D. It would also be an entry on Form  8594, if there are multiple assets sold. 

@jgcpa You my want to come back and complete your sentence to give us more information.

How is the sale of self-created goodwill asset entered on schedule D? It looks like to me that the only options to enter sale of any assets in ProSeries is thru QuickZoom for 1099-B, Nonbusiness Bad Debt, or Home Sale Worksheet and I know that it is none of those.

The link to 1099-B entry worksheet has places to enter assets where they ask if the sale was reported on Form 1099-B.  Just say no.
