Question

n 2000, Ms. Ennis, a head of household, contributed $76,000 in exchange for 760 shares of Seta stock. Seta is a qualified small business. This year, Ms. Ennis sold all 760 shares for $124,000. Her only other investment income was an $7,700 long-term capital gain from the sale of land. Her taxable income before consideration of her two capital transactions is $549,000. Assume the taxable year is 2022. Use Individual tax rate schedules and Tax rates for capital gains and qualified dividends.

Compute Ms. Ennis’s income tax and Medicare contribution tax for the year.

How would the computation change if Ms. Ennis acquired the Seta stock in 2019 instead of 2000?

Definition Definition Tax imposed by the government on the "gain" or increase in the value of an asset at the time of its sale by the owner. Capital gain is computed based on the purchase price and sale price of the asset. If the sale price of the asset is more than the purchase price, there is a gain on the sale of asset. A tax is imposed on such gain in accordance with the applicable tax rates at the time of sale.
