Sale of business assets for a $1 6 Months, 1 Week ago Karma: 3  
Client has a yoga studio and has an adjusted cost basis in it of $9,000. Wants to sell it to another yoga owner for $1 just to get out of the business and get out of the lease.

Any problems with this? It appear to be arms length????

Thoughts?

There are several considerations before the plan be materialized. Hard though.

It appears casual and simple yet it is complex. Several matters to deal before waging such a move.

I think the risk is that the IRS say its not an arms length transaction then they impute a sale price and make you pay taxes on the gain. I would consult with an accountant or tax attorney.

But, the amount that the yoga gym is really worth is small. I cant see the IRS caring about such a small transaction
