Answer:

$300,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given we were told that the land was valued at the amount of $300,000 which is the fair market value price as at when Tobis father died this means that the amount of $300,000 will be Tobin's basis in the land eventhough his father bought the land at the amount of $19,000 in the year 1970 but since we were told that the Federal estate tax return was been filed and the land was valued at the amount of $300,000 this means that $300,000 will be Tobis basis in the land.
