Section 24952 Of Article 3. Nontaxable Exchanges From California Revenue And Taxation Code >> Division 2. >> Part 11. >> Chapter 15. >> Article 3.
24952
. (a) If--
(1) A sale of real property gives rise to indebtedness to the
seller which is secured by the real property sold, and
(2) The seller of such property reacquires such property in
partial or full satisfaction of such indebtedness,
then, except as provided in subdivisions (b) and (d), no gain or
loss shall result to the seller from such reacquisition, and no debt
shall become worthless or partially worthless as a result of such
reacquisition.
(b) (1) In the case of a reacquisition of real property to which
subdivision (a) applies, gain shall result from such reacquisition to
the extent that--
(A) The amount of money and the fair market value of other
property (other than obligations of the purchaser) received, prior to
such reacquisition, with respect to the sale of such property,
exceeds
(B) The amount of the gain on the sale of such property included
in the measure of tax or returned as income for periods prior to such
reacquisition.
(2) The amount of gain determined under paragraph (1) resulting
from a reacquisition during any taxable year beginning after December
31, 1964, shall not exceed the amount by which the price at which
the real property was sold exceeded its adjusted basis, reduced by
the sum of--
(A) The amount of the gain on the sale of such property included
in the measure of tax or returned as income for periods prior to the
reacquisition of such property, and
(B) The amount of money and the fair market value of other
property (other than obligations of the purchaser received with
respect to the sale of such property) paid or transferred by the
seller in connection with the reacquisition of such property.
For purposes of this paragraph, the price at which real property
is sold is the gross sales price reduced by the selling commissions,
legal fees, and other expenses incident to the sale of such property
which are properly taken into account in determining gain or loss on
such sale.
(3) Except as provided in this section, the gain determined under
this subdivision resulting from a reacquisition to which subdivision
(a) applies shall be recognized, notwithstanding any other provision
of this part.
(c) If subdivision (a) applies to the reacquisition of any real
property, the basis of such property upon such reacquisition shall be
the adjusted basis of the indebtedness to the seller secured by such
property (determined as of the date of reacquisition), increased by
the sum of--
(1) The amount of the gain determined under subdivision (b)
resulting from such reacquisition, and
(2) The amount described in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) of
subdivision (b).
If any indebtedness to the seller secured by such property is not
discharged upon the reacquisition of such property, the basis of such
indebtedness shall be zero.
(d) If, prior to a reacquisition of real property to which
subdivision (a) applies, the seller has treated indebtedness secured
by such property as having become worthless or partially worthless--
(1) Such seller shall be considered as receiving, upon the
reacquisition of such property, an amount equal to the amount of such
indebtedness treated by him as having become worthless, and
(2) The adjusted basis of such indebtedness shall be increased (as
of the date of reacquisition) by an amount equal to the amount so
considered as received by such seller.
