Question

Morris Ronaldo runs a small sole proprietorship that has one truck that is used solely in the business. It had a cost of $70,000 but a tax basis of only $19,000. However, it has a fair value of $22,000. It is traded for a similar truck with a list sales price of $80,000. To make the sale, the dealer reduced the price by $24,000 as a trade-in allowance for the old truck. Morris paid the $56,000 difference in cash. This exchange qualifies for section 1031 like-kind nonrecognition of gain treatment. Group of answer choices True False

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the complete and correct question in the attached file.

This is a swap of assets of the same. Its basis of the new building for tax purposes is equal to a base granted. There is indeed a $19,000 tax structure on the old tractor. That business only pays 56 000 dollars in cash. That's the price of 80,000 dollars less than the exchange allowance of 14,000 dollars. This government is offering up $19,000 and $56,000 in cash. That amount is the gross yielded tax basis or $75,000, that's the basis of the commercial new property.
