Answer 1

A) a $50,000 ordinary loss and $70,000 LTCL

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

Brown stock = $30,000

stock basis = $150,000

time = 3 year

solution

we know that here stock is Section 1244 stock and original owner is Amy

so

first loss is for single individuals is = $50000

and this loss is treated as a ordinary loss LTCL because stock held more than 12 month

remaining amount = 70000

and we know it take here time 3 year

so total loss realized is

total loss realized $50000 + $70000

total loss realized = $120000

so correct option is A) a $50,000 ordinary loss and $70,000 LTCL
