    I think that only applies to likekind exchanges, but because you have this extra stuff you have to do the formula as Basis of new land = basis of old land + recognized gain, which is the lesser of realized gain or boot, – boot. So the only way the basis of the old land would differ from the basis of the new land is if the realized gain was less than boot.

    In my cheat sheet, when determining the new basis you would take FMV of qualified property rec'd and deduct the deferred gain. Soooo, does this mean I have learned it wrong? UGH

    @mama. I did a youtube search for this a couple days ago, and the guy did say that more oftentimes than not the new basis is going to end up being basis given up so what you say makes sense.

    Honestly, these basis questions are much harder than what I experienced in the test so don't give up hope. You can absolutely do this. If you are like me, then some days I am soooo much better than others.

    You can definitely do this! Don't give up and don't get disheartened. You'll be amazed at how much you're getting out of this whether your first instinct is right or wrong, you're learning right now and you will be learning up until you walk into that exam. REG WILL NOT DEFEAT US!

    Drink some caffeine and stick with us. My husband just got home from work so Mama is off duty and full on study mode. Let's work through some more problems until we have formulas down 100%. I wish I could say my test wasn't loaded with basis, but it's the main thing I am studying this time for a reason. 😉
