A Brief Note On Income Tax Assessment Act

Capital gain or loss that happens to a dwelling that is a taxpayer’s main residence is

A voluntary disposition is when the taxpayer has deliberately disposed of a capital asset by means of sale or other form of disposition, in which the taxpayer receives consideration for the disposal. An involuntary disposal, on the other hand, is where property is stolen, destroyed by fire or

In 2013 Marianne sold land, building and equipment with a combined basis of $150,000 to an unrelated third party and in return received an installment note of $80,000 per year for five years. Of the $250,000 gain on sale, $150,000 was classified as Section 1245 gain and the remaining $100,000 was Section 1231 gain. In 2013, Marianne had a capital loss carryover of $60,000, $50,000 of which she used to offset her Section 1231 gain; she recognized no Section 1245 gain. The following year she recognized $40,000 of 1245 gain and $10,000 of Section 1231 gain which she promptly offset with the last $10,000 of the capital loss carryover. In 2015, she recognized $50,000 Section 1245 gain and no Section 1231 gain.

Tax rate schedules are provided for use by (relatively) higher income taxpayers while the tax tables are provided for use by (relatively) lower income taxpayers.

Once a gain or loss is recognized, a taxpayer must determine how the recognized gain or loss affects the taxpayer’s tax liability. The character depends on a combination of two factors: purpose or use of the asset and holding period. The purpose or use of the asset is important because the law does not treat all assets equally. The general use categories are: (1) trade or business, (2) for the production of income (rental activities), (3) investment, and (4) personal. Based on these criteria, we can categorize an asset into one of three groups: (1) ordinary, (2) capital, or (3) section 1231. Characterizing the gain or loss is important because all gains and losses are not equal. Ordinary gains and losses are taxed at ordinary income rates, regardless of the holding

A2c. Profit or Loss from the Sale of Property: The taxpayer couple sold personal and rental property for this tax period. Both sales have potential gains. However, the gain from the sale of the personal residence qualifies for exclusion up to $500,000 under Section 121 as they lived in and used the residence at least two of the five years prior to the sale. The gain or loss is calculated as the sale price less selling costs and adjusted basis of the property. Proceeds from the sale of the rental property are taxable because it is an income producing property and would be considered normal income. However, Section 1231 designates that exchanges of business property held longer than one year may be considered a long-term capital gain if there is a gain realized and any loss would be considered an ordinary loss. Any depreciation taken in past tax years will need to be recaptured in the tax year of the sale.

2. Similar to like-kind exchanges, the receipt of “boot” under § 351 can cause loss to be recognized.

e. John would not realize any immediate tax benefits, as 26 USC § 263 provides no current deductions for capital expenditures; these costs must be recovered over the useful life of the acquired property.

Internal Revenue Code § 121 (a) notes that the $500,000 exclusion for joint returns that the Dutros appropriated would only apply “if, during the 5-year period ending on the date of sale or exchange, such property has been owned and used by the taxpayer as the taxpayer’s principal residence for periods aggregating 2 years or more.” The important phrase to note is that the home has been used by the taxpayer as their “principal residence” for at least two years. Therefore, the dilemma is that the Dutros rebuilt their home and

Solutions to Homework Assignments: Chapter 4 6. Are all capital gains (gains on the sale or disposition of capital assets) taxed at the same rate? Explain. No. If a taxpayer holds a capital asset for a year or less the gain is taxed at ordinary tax rates. If the taxpayer holds the asset for more than a year before selling, the gain is generally taxed at a maximum 15% rate but could be taxed as high as 20% for high income taxpayers. If the taxpayer sells more than one capital asset during the year and recognizes both capital gains and capital losses, the gains and losses are netted together before determining the applicable tax rate.
