H

John and Susan are considering gifting stock to Ellen to make sure that she "stays on her feet" while
trying to get her career established. They've decided to gift the Magellan Health Services fund. The
original cost basis of the fund is $59,000. Assume that the fair market value of the fund on the date
of the gift is $60,000. Ellen is very grateful, as she can certainly use the money. The fund does very
well, and she decides to sell the fund six months later, and receives $72,000. What is the amount
and nature (short- or long-term) of the gain or loss resulting from the sale?
