Answer:

$0

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Loaned amount several years ago = $6,000

Long term capital gain = $4,000

Based on the above information

Lisa is not in the position to subtract the loss from the loan i.e. uncollectible as according to the Internal revenue service (IRS) it is mentioned that if the loan is given to a brother the same is treated as a gift

So, the amount would be $0
