Eli hаs аccepted аn оffer tо start as a staff accоuntant in Los Angeles. Currently, Eli lives in Fairfax, VA in a rental apartment with some college friends. Rather than pay to move his current furniture across the country, he decides to sell all his furniture and use the money he would have spent to move towards purchasing new furniture for his place in Los Angeles. The furniture is entirely personal use and has an adjusted basis of $1,500. He sells it to another student who will not be graduating for a few more years for $2,500. Eli needs to figure out how much taxable gain he will have to report on the sale of his furniture for his tax return this year. His roommate Toby says that Eli will need to pay tax on the full $2,500 (i.e. that his taxable gain equals the sales price). However, his friend Jacob tells him that his taxable gain equals the extent of the sales price that exceeds the adjusted basis of the asset sold. (4 points). Which of Eli’s friends gives him the correct advice for determining the taxable gain?
