Answer:
$107,500
Explanation:
There is No loss recognized by State and a basis in the land of $535,000 to Packard.
The State does not recognize the loss of $107,500 because the liquidation is tax-deferred to Packard. Packard's basis in the land is equal to State's basis in the land.
Answer:
No loss or gain is recognized by State Company and Packard's basis in the land will be $535,000
Explanation:
State Company does not have to recognize any loss or gain regarding the distribution of the land. Packard's basis for the land will be equal to State's basis = $535,000.
Since the liquidation involves 100% of the company's stocks, section 332 applies. This means that no gain or loss must be recognized by State Company.
