Per Form 8594 instructions, both the seller and purchaser of a group of assets that makes up a trade or business must use Form 8594 to report such a sale if goodwill or going concern value attaches, or could attach, to such assets and if the purchaser's basis in the assets is determined only by the amount paid for the assets. Each seller and buyer will allocate assets acquired/sold between seven asset categories. Such allocations can be tricky and because buyer’s interest is generally adverse from sellers. This could potentially trigger mismatch between how much buyer allocates to a certain asset category and reports it on Form 8594 versus how much seller allocated to that same category and reported on that form
Form 8594 may need to be attached to your income tax return (Forms 1040, 1041, 1065, 1120, 1120S, etc.), and compliance may become more complicated when US shareholders have to attach 8594 to 5471 informational tax return if buyer or seller is a CFC (controlled foreign corporation).
