WAR (We Are Rich) has been in business since 1986. WAR is an accrual method sole proprietorship that deals in the manufacturing and wholesaling of various types of golf equipment. Hack & Hack CPAs has filed accurate tax returns for WAR’s owner since WAR opened its doors. The managing partner of Hack & Hack (Jack) has gotten along very well with the owner of WAR—Mr. Someday Woods (single). However, in early 2019, Jack Hack and Someday Woods played a round of golf and Jack, for the first time ever, actually beat Mr. Woods. Mr. Woods was so upset that he fired Hack & Hack and has hired you to compute his 2019 taxable income. Mr. Woods was able to provide you with the following information from prior tax returns. The taxable income numbers reflect the results from all of Mr. Wood’s activities except for the items separately stated. You will need to consider how to handle the separately stated items for tax purposes. Also, note that the 2014–2018 numbers do not reflect capital loss carryovers.

d. Finally, on May 7, 2019, WAR decided to sell the building where it tested its plutonium shaft, lignite head drivers. WAR purchased the building on January 5, 2007, for $190,000 ($170,000 for the building, $20,000 for the land). At the time of the sale, the accumulated depreciation on the building was $50,000. WAR sold the building (with the land) for $300,000. The fair market value of the land at the time of sale was $45,000. (Do not round intermediate computations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount. Loss amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

As 5 yr. lookback rule applies to net gain, the loss of $6000 will be recognized. Thus net gains of section 1231 of $156000 will be treated as long-term capital gains.
long-term capital gain of on the land held for investment = 48000-45000 = 3000
long-term capital loss on the sale of other investment property = -2000
thus, net long-term capital gain = $9000
