If you have a business sale on an installment form 6252 and you have to repossess the business now do you write off what was uncollectable?

It becomes your new cost basis less the profit portion not yet collected.

How does this coordinated with the computation of the amount of COD income?

Steve, the difference between the fmv of the business and the taxpayer's tax basis in the installment obligation is a gain or loss.
