Whenever a taxpayer can use losses to offset taxable profits or use deductions to offset their taxable income, this is an economic benefit to the taxpayer. Seller-take-over financing and installment financing may defer profit recognition to future taxation years if the taxpayer can expect significant tax losses or deductions, possibly for the contribution of a maintenance easement; or the taxpayer can expect a reduction in income, perhaps through retirement; or an older taxpayer wants to defer a lump sum payment for a period long enough to be taxable, if any, as part of their estate. If you are selling properties for which you claimed or could have claimed capital cost allowance, you must report all depreciation recovery income for the year of sale, whether or not a instalment payment was received in that year. Indicate your capital cost-depreciation and loss income (including the deduction under section 179 and the deduction under section 179A) in Part III of Form 4797. Report the collection income in Part II of Form 4797 as ordinary income for the year of sale. Revenues from the reconquest are also included in Part I of Form 6252. However, the profit of the amount of the reconquest income is fully declared in the year of sale. Only the profit greater than the reconquest income is declared according to the method of payment in instalments. For more information on depreciation recovery, see Chapter 3 of Pub. 544. The parties are free to determine the amount and frequency of payments in the instalment payment agreement according to their will.

Treat the $1,000 difference between the mortgage and your installment sales base as a payment and report 100% of it as a profit in the year of the sale.

Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a business is not an exchange-type exchange unless the taxpayer negotiates and receives properties that are not primarily for sale. Before the entry into force of the new tax law, certain exchanges of personal or intangible assets were referred to as exchange-type elements. A transitional rule in the new law provides that profit may be deferred in the case of a qualified exchange of personal or intangible property if the taxpayer disposed of the goods exchanged no later than December 31, 2017 or received replacement property no later than that date. .
