I assume no tax implications if you buy the A/R with the purchase of a business but how do you handle the cash received when it comes in (as income??)

The seller has the implication of selling "hot assets". You have basis in the A/R hence not taxed when you collect.

When you "journalize" purchase entry you will debit many assets, equipment , goodwill and in your case A/R and credit loans etc....


When the AR is collected, credit AR.
