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.

The 80% ownership requirement must be satisfied by the group of transferors.  That is, if both Post and Lind own at least 80% of the corporation's stock following the transfer, no gain is recognized except to the extent of boot received.  The assumption of liabilities is only considered boot to the extent that they exceed the adjusted basis of property contributed.  This transfer meets all the criteria for nonrecognition of gain.
