Question

Antoine transfers property with a tax basis of $535 and a fair market value of $652 to a corporation in exchange for stock with a fair market value of $555 in a transaction that qualifies for deferral under section 351. The corporation assumed a liability of $97 on the property transferred. What is Antoine's tax basis in the stock received in the exchange

Answer 1

Answer: $438

Explanation:

Antoine's tax basis in the stock received in the exchange will be gotten as the adjusted basis of asset exchanged which will then be decreased by the liability assumed on the property that's transfered. This will be:

= $535 - $97

= $438

Therefore, Antoine's tax basis in the stock received in the exchange is $438.
