Capital Gain

Any capital asset when sold can give the seller a higher or lower price from its purchase price leading to a capital gain or capital loss. The time period of holding an asset is decided based on if it is a long term or short-term capital gain. On that basis, the rate of taxation is decided if it is 20%, 15% or according to the tax brackets. The rate of taxation differs in the case of equity or debt, whether long or short term. The capital gain can be adjusted from capital loss to arrive at a net capital gain. The amount of gains and the exemption has to be reported in the tax return filed in the financial year in which the asset was transferred. The tax return can be filed quarterly, monthly, semi-annually or annually.

On June 30, 2019, Kelly sold property for 240,000 cash and a 960,000 note due on September 30, 2020. The note will also pay 6% interest, which is slightly higher than the Federal rate. Kellys cost of the property was 400,000. She is concerned that Congress may increase the tax rate that will apply when the note is collected. Kellys after-tax rate of return on investments is 6%. a.

Floyd, a cash basis taxpayer, has received an offer to purchase his land. The cash basis buyer will pay him either 100,000 at closing or 50,000 at closing and 56,000 two years after the date of closing. If Floyd recognizes the entire gain in the current year, his marginal tax rate will be 25% (combined Federal and state rates). However, if he spreads the gain over the two years, his combined marginal tax rate on the gain will be only 20%. Floyd does not consider the buyer a credit risk, and he understands that shifting the gain to next year with an installment sale will save taxes. Still, he realizes that the deferred payment will, in effect, earn only 6,000 for waiting two years for the other 50,000. Floyd believes he can earn a 10% before-tax rate of return on his after-tax cash. Floyds adjusted basis for the land is 25,000, the buyer is also a cash basis taxpayer, and the short-term Federal rate is 4%. Floyd has asked you to evaluate the two alternatives on an after-tax basis.
