A practical guide to Section 453 installment sales and Form 6252 — how the gross profit ratio defers capital gains across years, when depreciation recapture forces year-one recognition, how the Section 453A interest charge applies above the $5 million threshold, and when electing out beats deferral.

How U.S. partnerships and S corporations qualify for the Schedule K-2/K-3 domestic filing exception, manage the 1-month-date partner request rule, and use the new small-entity exception for entities with under $250,000 in total receipts.
Section 197 requires buyers in a taxable asset acquisition to amortize acquired intangibles — goodwill, customer lists, workforce in place, covenants not to compete — straight-line over 180 months.
