Accounting for the Sale of a Fixed Asset
by: Vickey

I don't know of any requirement to report the sale of a church's fixed asset to the IRS; however, you should make sure you record it properly in your accounting records. You would record it the same as a "for-profit" business, so you can search the internet for step by step instructions on how to record a fixed asset sale.

HOWEVER, please note that if it is the sale of a closing church... there are several "laws" governing what can happen to those proceeds, so if that is the case... PLEASE consult a knowledgable CPA or attorney.

If you want to DIY your payroll, I highly recommend you look at using Gusto! It is very user friendly and their support is awesome! Plus they know how to set up and maintain payrolls for churches and nonprofit organizations.

Note: I am a "partner" of Gusto, but as I have told you before ... I never recommend anything that we or our clients have not tried and love =)
