Lind and Post organized Ace Corp., which issued voting common stock with a fair market value of $120,000. They each transferred property in exchange for stock as follows:
Fair Percentage
Adjusted market of Ace stock
Property basis value acquired
Lind Building $40,000 $82,000 60%
Post Land $5,000 $48,000 40%
The building was subject to a $10,000 mortgage that was assumed by Ace. What amount of gain did Lind recognize on the exchange?
ans:0 , to be nontaxable, shareholder should meet 2 conditions : own 80% voting stock & No boot received. But in this Q, Lind doesnt own 80% then why its not taxable.
