Reporting related party transactions in Lacerte

Currently, you can only report related party transactions in Lacerte using Form 8824, Like-Kind Exchanges or Form 6252, Installment Sale Income. You can enter this information on the Dispositions or Deprecation screens. Select your module below for instructions.

Sometimes Part III of Form 6252 will not generate. This can be caused by a couple of things. There are circumstances when the "Related Part Information" (Form 6252, Part III) will not be completed.

1. When the disposition date is over 2 years old. This occurs on a prior year installment sale. (See Form 6252, Line 4 instructions)
2. When the final payment was received in the current tax year. (See Form 6252, Part III instructions)

Note: Lines 29-37 on the Form 6252 will only fill out if line 28 is checked yes.
