Echo Corporation plans to sell a small building to Nate, its 65% shareholder. The building was placed in service five years ago. An independent appraisal will be obtained to set the selling price at an appropriate market price, and a $50,000 gain is expected to result. The only asset previously sold by Echo was a stock investment five years ago which resulted in a $40,000 loss. If the sale of the building closes before year-end, the gain on the building will allow recognition of the capital loss carryover before it expires.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


False

Sec. 1239 will cause the gain on the building to be recaptured as ordinary because it is a sale between related parties.
