If Donor ABFMV, then dual basis applies (1Gain basis& 1loss basis). Where GB=donorAB & LB=FMV prop. ///If SellPr>DonorAB DoneeAB=DonorAB at date of gift./// If SellPr

Scott has decided to dispose of these assets that he rcvd as a gift. Compute his real&recog G/L on these disposals: a. In 2000, he rcvd stock with a FMV of 88k. The donor’s ab was 100k. He sells the stock for 72k this year. GainBasis=100k LossBasis=88k  AmtReal=72k-Lossbasis88k=(12k) RecogL.

In 2001, he rcvd land with fmv of 42k. The donor’s ab was 50k. He sells the land this year for 45k. Since SellPr b/w ab&FMV. No G/L permitted.

Nicky rcvs a car from Sam as a gift. Sam paid 48k for the car. He had used it for business purposes and had deducted 10k for depr. up to the time he gave the car to Nicky. The fmv car is 33k.

  1. Assuming that Nicky uses the car for business purposes, what is her basis for depr?

Basis for Depr. Is Donee GB 38k(48cost-10accudepr.) LB=FMV 33k

  1. Assume that Nicky deducts depr. of 6.5k and then sells the car for 32.5k. What is her RecogG/L ? AmtReal=32.5k-AdjBasis31.5k(GB** of 38k-6.5K)=1kReal&RecogG
  2. Assume that Nicky deducts depr. of 6.5k and then sells the car for 20k. What is her RecogG/L? AmtReal=20k-AdjBasis26.5k(LB** 33k- 6.5k)=6.5kRealL&RecogL

Disallowed Losses(RP/personalUse Asset)

Jenn owns a personal-use car that has a FMV 17k&ab 20k Jen’s AGI is 80k. Calc the real and recogL if:

Jenn sells the car for 17k  3kRealL not Recog.(Loss disallowed on personalUse)

Jenn exchanges the car for another car worth 17k RealL=3k. Recog0(Not L-k b/c personalUse)

Lisa sells business property with an ab of 140k her son, Alfred, for its fmv 100k.

What is Lisa’s Real&RecogG/L? Lisa’s realL of 40k not recog(disallowed)///What is Alfred’s RecogG/L if he subsequently sells the property for 155k? For 85k? RecogG 55k & RecogL 15k ez

Sheila sells land to E, her sister, for fmv of 40k. 6 months later when the land is worth 45k, E gives it to Joe, her son. (No gift tax) Shortly thereafter, Joe sells the land for 48k.

Assuming that Sheila’s ab for the land is 24k, what are Sheila’s and Jacob’s RecogG/L on the sales? S: AmtReal40k-24adjbasis=16realG=16krecogG///J: AmtReal48k-40adjbasis(b/c donorAB)=8krealg>

Assuming that Sheila’s adjusted basis for the land is $60,000, what are Sheila’s and Jacob’s recognized gain or loss on the sales? S:AmtReal40-60AdjBasis=20kRealL=0RecogL (Disallowed RP)  J:amtReal48k-40kadjbasis=8krealG=8kRecogG (Cant offset S’s 20kdisallowed loss b/c not original transferee)

Involuntary Conversion

Jenn owns a personal-use car that has a FMV of 17k and an ab of 20k. Jennifer’s AGI is 80k. Calculate the realized and recognized loss if:

.The car is stolen and she receives $17,000 in insurance proceeds:AB 17**-17(ins.proceed)=0 allowed loss.**lesser of AB or decline in FMV

Thomas’s automobile, ab of 12k is used exclusively for business and is damaged in an accident. The FMV before the accident is 18k and the FMV after is just $950. If the insurance recovery is 16k, what is Thomas’s ab after the casualty? What is his casualty gain, if any?

InsProceeds 16k-12k(basisb4crash)=4k casualty gain basis after ins=0. Nothing left to recover.

  1. Edith’s warehouse ab of 450k is destroyed by a hurricane in Oct 2017. Edith, a calendar yr taxpayer, receives ins. proceeds of 525k in Jan 2018. Calc Edith’s RealG/L, RecogG/L, and basis for the replacement prop. if she:

Acquires a new warehouse for 550kin Jan 2018. AmtReal 525k-AB 450k=75kRealG/// Since all insProceeds reinvested on qualifying prop. S1033InvConv. in affect. 75k gain postponed. RecogG zero///Basis is 475k(550-75kPostponedG)///Acquires a new warehouse for 500k in Jan 2018. 525-450=75kRealG///AmtReal525-Reinvestment500k=25kRecogGain/// Basis is 450k(500k-50kpostponedG)

Does not acquire replacement prop 525-450=75kRealG/// RecoG75k b/c none reinvested.

Sale of residence

Constanza, who is single, sells her current personal residence (ab 195k) for 546k. She has owned and lived in the house for 30 yrs. Her selling exps are 27.3k. RealG?RecogG?  AmtReal518.7k(546k-27.3k)-AB195k=323.7kRealG///-Exclusion of 250k(standard)=73,700 RecogGain

Arianna’s personal residence has an ab of 240k and a fmv of $200k. Arianna converts the personal residence to rental prop. What is Arianna’s gain basis? What is her loss

basis? Arianna’s basis for gain is 240,000 and her basis for loss is $200k

Jessica’s personal residence originally cost 225k,25k of that cost was allocated to the land). After living in the house for 7yrs, she converts it to rental prop. At the date of conversion, the FMV of the house and land was 345k. As to the rental property, calculate her basis:

Could she have obtained better tax results if she had sold her personal residence for $345kand then buy another house for $345k to hold as rental property?

Personalresi cost 225k. Alloc. To land 25k. FMV 345k. Basis for loss 225k(lesser of AB&FMV) Depr.Basis=200k.(land not depr.)

Its recognized gain or loss? RecogG(On prop not L-k)

The basis of the newly acquired real estate?240-105=135 new basis

Logan & John exchange land, and the exchange qualifies as like kind under § 1031. Because Logan’s land (adjusted basis of $160k) is worth $192k and Johnathan’s land has a fair market value of $152,475, Johnathan also gives Logan cash of 40k. Logan’s RecogG: lesser of realG32k(192k-160k)= or Boot FMV 40k
