Question

Emily spent $259,600 to rehabilitate a certified historic building (adjusted basis of $168,740) that originally had been placed in service in 1935. What is Emily's rehabilitation expenditures tax credit

Answer 1

Answer: $51,920

Step-by-step explanation:

For a building that was constructed before 1936, the rehabilitation credit is 20% of the amount that the taxpayer spent to rehabilitate the historic building. As this building was constructed in 1935, Emily qualifies for that 20% credit:

= 20% * 259,600

= $51,920
