In 2019, Tim sells Section 1245 property for $28,000 that he had purchased in 2009. Tim has claimed $5,000 in depreciation on the property and originally purchased it for $15,000. How much of the gain is taxable as ordinary income?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The taxable amount at an ordinary rate = $5000

Explanation:

The selling price of a property in 2019 is = $28000

The depreciation on the property = $5000

Original purchased price of property = $15000

Adjusted tax = an orginal price – depreciation  

Adjusted tax = 15000 – 5000 = $10000

Gain = selling price – adjusted tax

Gain = 28000 – 10000 = $18000

The part of gain ($18000) that is taxable as ordinary rate = $5000

Here, $13000 will be taxed as section 1231 as a gained tax at capital gain rate.
