NV' 90 ~
BASIS OF GAIN or LOSS part ~
In order to determine the gain or
loss from the sale or exchange Of
property, It is necessary first to as
certain the basis Of the property in
the hands Of the taxpayer. This
basis for income tax purposes, will
depend on how. the property was
acquired, as by purchase, in pay
ment for services rendered, by gift
or transfer in trust, by the amount
Of depreciation that has occurred
and the amount OF any improve
ments or betterments that have
been added.
In determining the basis Of prop
erty for income tax purposes, two
terms are employed, the 'basis'' and
the adjusted basis" The basis may
differ In accordance with the man
ner in which the property was ac-
CURED, as stated above and fire.
openly by reason Of the date Of
acquisition. In the case Of property
acquired by purchase on or after
March /, 1918, for instance, the
basis is the purchase price. In the
case Of real estate, the basis Is .ad-
justed by the amount Of any ex-
penditure, receipt, or other item
chargeable to capital account during
the time the property has been
held. The basis, so adjusted, becomes
the adjusted basis. The difference
between the adjusted basis and the
selling price Cor value received In
change) becaInes the measure Of
gain or less.
In arriving at the adjusted basis
for real estate the amount Of depre-
citation to be deducted Is the amount
that Is allowed or allowable, which,
ever is greater, in each year during
which the property has been held.
In some years the taxpayer may
have taken more or less deprecia-
ton than Is allowable, and II he
has taken more depreciation than
Is allowable, then the amount taken
Is the amount to be educated In
determining the basis. II he has
taken less than the amount allow
able, then the allowable amount is
the amount that would be deducted.
The depreciation to chargeable 10
deducted by the amount Of addi-
tons and betterments charged
against the depreciation reserve.
In the case Of q residence owned
and occupied by the taxpayer, no
depreciation Is allowable during such
occupancy, since depreciation Is
considered In such case to be a per-
sonal expense Of the taxpayer. The
amount of additions and better
ments made during the taxpayers
occupancy Of the property as his
residence may, however, be used to
increase the value, or basis, at
which the property is held in deter
ming the amount Of gain or loss.
In the case Of property acquired
before March /, 1913, different
rule Of determining the basis APP
plies, depending upon whether a
gain or loss Is involved. The basis
for determining a gain Is the cost
or other basis adjusted to March ],
1918, for depreciation sustained, or
the fair market value as Of March
/, 1918, which ever is greater. This
basis Is then adjusted as described
above to arrive at the adjusted
basis" The basis to be used for the
purpose of determining a loss is the
cost, or other basis, adjusted as
described above.
