Jillian, a single taxpayer, had the following sales of Sec. 1231 property this year:Sale of land A at a gain of $15,000Sale of land B at a gain of $12,000Sale of land C at a loss of $8,000a.Assume Jillian has taxable income from other sources exceeding $500,000. What is the amount of her resulting tax liability on the property sales?b.Assume instead that Jillian's taxable income from other sources is less than $15,000. What is the amount of her resulting tax liability on the property sales?c. Assume instead that Jillian's taxable income from other sources is in the 24% tax bracket. What is the amount of her resulting tax liability on the property sales?

What will be an ideal response?


a.The net 1231 gain is $15,000 + $12,000 - $8,000 = $19,000. At Jillian's level of taxable income, the 
Sec. 1231 gain is taxed at 20%. Thus, the tax is $19,000 × .20 = $3,800.
b.There is no tax on capital gains for taxpayers with taxable income below $39,375.
c.Because Jillian is in the 24% tax bracket, it is taxed at 15%. Thus, the tax is $19,000 × .15 = $2,850.
