What are the amount and character of the gain or loss that Jack will recognize during 2017? During 2018?
Jack has a basis of $36,000 in his 1,000 shares of Acorn Corporation stock (a capital asset). The stock was acquired three years ago. He receives the following distributions as part of a plan of liquidation of Acorn Corporation:
Because Jack's $36,000 basis has not been recovered by the end of 2017, Jack will have no recognized gain in 2017. His unrecovered basis at the end of 2017 is $6,000 ($36,000 - $30,000). He will recognize a $4,000 gain in 2018 ($10,000 - $6,000). The gain will be a long-term capital gain.
