Answer #1

C. The April 3, 2019 transfer falls under Section 351.

Explanation: As per US Code Section 351, No gain or loss shall be recognized if property is transferred to a corporation by one or more persons solely in exchange for stock in such corporation and immediately after the exchange such person or persons are in control (as defined in section 368(c)) of the corporation. Hence, Option B is incorrect. And ofcourse, there will be tax effect to Shareholder J

Note: It is assume that Option C is misprint as April 3, 2018 instead of April 3, 2019. Because there is nodate of April 3, 2018
