A corporation distributes land and the related liability in a nonliquidating distribution to a shareholder. The land (a capital asset) has an adjusted basis of $70,000, an FMV of $100,000 and is subject to a mortgage of $120,000. The corporation must recognize
A) a $20,000 capital loss.
B) a $50,000 capital gain.
C) a $70,000 capital gain.
D) no gain or loss.
B) a $50,000 capital gain.
The property's FMV is deemed to be at least equal to the liability assumed or acquired (Sec. 311(b)). Therefore a $50,000 capital gain ($120,000 liability - $70,000 basis) is recognized.
