Mandel Transferred Property to His New Corporation in a Section

question 33

True/False

Mandel transferred property to his new corporation in a section 351 transaction. One of the properties transferred was land with a fair market value of $200,000 and a tax basis of $250,000. In all cases, the corporation will always take a tax basis in the land of $200,000 to prevent the "built-in loss" from being transferred from Mandel to the corporation.
The built-in loss rules only apply if the aggregate fair market value of the properties transferred is less than the aggregate tax basis of the properties transferred.
