Juliа оwns 40 percent оf Lоngleаf Corp. аnd has a basis in her stock of $100,000. After adopting a plan of liquidation, Longleaf makes a liquidating distribution to Julia and the other shareholders. Julia receives cash of $30,000, Pine Inc. stock with a $30,000 fair value, and equipment with a fair value of $125,000. She takes the equipment subject to a $20,000 liability. Longleaf's basis in the stock distributed to Julia is $52,500. Longleaf's original cost for the equipment was $80,000, but it has since claimed $30,000 of depreciation deductions (i.e., the equipment has an adjusted basis of $50,000). Both the stock and the equipment are capital assets and have been held for several years.
