The section 1231 gain spoken of in the problem is not netted with the schedule C income because it is taxed differently and, although needs to be used in a trade or business, is not part of ordinary business profit. Capital gain rules apply here which are different than schedule C profit rules. Hope this helps. Capital gains are an adjustment FOR AGI.

Thanks, but I still don't quite know how this section 1231 gain should be counted in this case, if it is not in Schedule C, where it should go?

Section 1231 gain is form 4797, flows through to Sch C or F. Only the
portion attributable to trade or business flows through. Otherwise it goes to
Sch D. It's a separately stated item.
