Answer #1

AGI befor loss : 300,000

Allowable deduction for loss specified in 1244 stock (50,000x2) = 100,000

AGI after Loss (300,000-100,000) = 200,000

Explanation

Section 1244 stock refers to the tax treatment of restricted stock by the IRS. Section 1244 of the tax code allows losses from the sale of shares of small, domestic corporations to be deducted as ordinary losses instead of as capital losses up to a maximum of $50,000 for individual tax returns or $100,000 for joint returns.
