Question

George sold land to an unrelated party in 2018. His basis in the land was $64,000, and the selling price was $192,000—$48,000 payable at closing and $48,000 (plus 10% interest) due January 1, 2019, 2020, and 2021.

What would be the tax consequences of the following?

Treat each part independently, assume that George did not elect out of the installment method and the installment obligations have values equal to their face amounts.

 

Ignore interest in your calculations. Round the gross profit to three decimal places before converting to a percentage. For example: .48245 would be rounded to .482 and converted to 48.2%. If required, round final answers to the nearest dollar.
