128

investment land pre-2013, recognized gains in post-2012 years are category three gain.

Same facts but assume that A died January 1, 2013 and A’s estate recognizes $135,000 of the installment gain as IRD.
The IRD retains its character as nonpassive business gain so no NII to the estate on the gain.
134
Same relief for a 2011 installment sale of rental
real estate by a real estate professional who
materially participated in the
pre-2013 trade or business rental.
135

Whatabout
netlosses?
136
Final Regs treat IRC sec. 165 net losses
as“properly allocable
deductions” rather than category
three losses137
Thus a net <$3,000> capital loss may be
allowed as a “properly allocable deduction” against investment income.
138
Capital loss carryovers, within limits, can reduce subsequent year
category three gain.
139
A pre-2013 capital loss carryover can offset post-2012 Cap Gain. See Reg.
1.1411-4(d)(3)(ii) Example 3

• In Year 1, D, an individual, allocated $15,000 of taxes out of a total of $75,000 to NII (20%).
• D received no Chapter 1 tax benefit due to AMT.
• But the $15,000 reduced D’s NII.
Reg. Example (2)
207
• In Year 3, D received a refund of $5,000 of state income tax.
• Excluded for Chapter 1 purposes by IRC sec. 111.
• D reduces D’s Year 3 properly allocable deductions by $1,000 ($5,000 x ($15,000/$75,000)).
208
• In Year 3, D allocated $30,000 of state income taxes out of a total of $90,000 to NII (1/3)
• D's allocation of 33 1/3% of taxes in Year 3 to NII is irrelevant to the calculation.
