Transcribed Image Text:**Exercise 7-21 (LO. 2)**
**Scenario:**
On May 9, 2018, Calvin acquired 250 shares of stock in Hobbes Corporation, a new startup company, for $68,750. Calvin acquired the stock directly from Hobbes, and it is classified as § 1244 stock (at the time Calvin acquired his stock, the corporation had $900,000 of paid-in capital). On January 15, 2020, Calvin sold all of his Hobbes stock for $7,000.
**Task:**
Assuming that Calvin is single, determine his tax consequences as a result of this sale.
**Instructions:**
If an amount is zero, enter "0".
**Result of the Sale:**
- **Ordinary loss:** $50,000 ✓
- **Short-term capital loss:** $0 ✓
- **Long-term capital loss:** (No input, incorrect entry) ✗
**Feedback:**
There appears to be a misunderstanding in calculating the long-term capital loss. Ensure that tax treatments are applied correctly according to § 1244 stock regulations. Consider applicable gain or loss treatments upon the sale or exchange of stock as described under the relevant tax codes.
