Question or Topic

If my business produces or sells products on installment contracts, may I use the Installment Method of reporting the gains?

 

 

The Answer

Installment Method of Accounting Allowed for Qualifying Accrual Method Taxpayers

Before December 17, 1999, qualifying accrual method taxpayers could report sales or other dispositions of property on the installment method. For sales of certain property occurring after December 16, 1999, accrual method taxpayers were prohibited from using the installment method.

This prohibition has been repealed, retroactive to December 17, 1999. Qualifying accrual method taxpayers can use the installment method to report sales and other dispositions of property as if the prohibition had never been enacted.
