Where do I record accumulated depreciation on sold assets?

When you sell an asset, you record its accumulated depreciation in the "Accumulated Depreciation" account. It's a contra asset account.

You'll also need to subtract the accumulated depreciation and the asset's original cost from your total assets.

You should record the accumulated depreciation in the same account where you keep track of depreciation. That's usually a contra-asset account called accumulated depreciation.
