Answer #1

Realized gain = Net sale proceeds - Adjusted basis

Net sale proceeds = sale value - selling expenses

Net sale proceeds =$596400 - $29280

= $567120

Realized gain = $567120 - $213000

= $354120

Recognized gain =

Realized gain - Exclusion from capital gain (Note)

= $354120 - $250000

= $104120

Note - Section 121 of the Internal Revenue Code allows the exclusion of the realized capital gain of up to $250000 from capital gain if it is the sale of the taxpayer's personal residence.
