Written by Evgenia V. Sheaffer, CPA , Senior Manager at Trout CPA What is an installment sale? Business owners considering selling their business as a stock or asset sale at a gain often wonder if there is a way to minimize the tax impact in the year of sale. The good news is that if you receive at least one payment after the tax year of the sale, then the gain will be recognized when you receive each payment, therefore allowing the business owner the option to defer the gain.

The truth is we should not condemn capitalism, because we have not had that in some time.
