disposal of fixed asset that has no depreciation - non profit

We recently demolished our parsonage but are retaining the land it was on.  There has been no depreciation over the years recorded.  How do I record the disposal of the parsonage and remove it from fixed assets.  Thank you.

You need to contact the church's CPA.  Is there a reason the building was not depreciated?  From my understanding, if it's on the balance sheet, you need to depreciate it, just as any for-profit business would.  If you should have taken depreciation and didn't, that complicates things quite a bit and your CPA is the best resource for your situation.

I was never given a clear understanding of why the church never recorded depreciation.  It appears they never did at all over the years.  I was lead to believe it wasn't necessary.  So I am awaiting an answer as to who we are to contact for a resolution to this issue.  Thank you for responding.
