John and Karen are unrelated individuals. John sold land
that is Sec. 1231 property held for three years and recognized a $50,000 gain.
Karen sold a building that is Sec. 1231 property held for three years and
recognized a $50,000 gain. Straight -line depreciation was used. John and Karen
both have a 32% tax rate, no other transactions involving capital assets or
1231 assets, and no nonrecap – tured Sec. 1231 losses. Except for the sales of
different assets, their tax situation is exactly the same. As a result of selling
his Sec. 1231 prop – erty, will John pay more, less or the same amount of taxes
than Karen as a result of selling her Sec. 1231 property? Explain.
