An Asset Purchase Agreement is a legally binding contract between a buyer and a seller that details the terms and conditions of the sale of a business's assets. Form 8594 is a tax document required in certain business sales where the buyer acquires assets rather than stock or equity.Here is a guide to an Asset Purchase Agreement which provides a general overview and simplifications for non-lawyers. It may be easier to buy the cash in the cash registers rather than collecting all the cash and then restocking the registers with the buyer's cash. Both the buyer and seller must complete IRS Form 8594 during the sale to report the sale and purchase of business assets. Asset purchases occur between a seller and buyer of a company's assets, including facilities, vehicles, equipment, stock, and inventory. In an asset sale, Company A transfers certain property to Company B in exchange for consideration (i.e. cash).
