How Should Discontinued Items Be Presented on the Income Statement?
When your small business sells or plans to sell a business component, such as a subsidiary or division, that is separate from the rest of your continuing operations, you must report the component’s financial items in a separate section on your income statement. Report the after-tax operating income or loss the component generated during an accounting period prior to the sale and the after-tax gain or loss your small business recognized from the sale. Reporting these items separately helps financial statement users to better forecast future financial performance.
