The corporation assumed a liability of $106 on the property transferred. What is the corporation's tax basis in the property received in the exchange

Respuesta :

Answer: $1644

Explanation:

The corporation's tax basis will be the addition of the tax basis of Tristan and the gain that is recognized on the exchange by Tristan.

Gain realized = 1750 - 1245 = 505

Boot received = 399

The gain recognized on the exchange will the value that's lower between the gain realized which is $505 and the boot received which is $399. Therefore, gain recognized = $399.

The corporation's tax basis will then be:

= Tristan Tax basis + Gain recognized

= 1245 + 399

= 1644

The corporation's tax basis in the property received in the exchange would be $1644.
