Form 4797 instructions say to put loss on abandonment on Form 4797 Part II line 10. However, if the asset was held over a year, then Lacerte puts the loss on Form 4797 Part I line 1 for a long-term asset. I would think to follow the instructions that it would go on Part II line 10. There is no over-ride. So, there should be a box to check showing this is an abandonment so it flows to the correct line on the form.
