Practice question
A taxpayer completes a qualifying nonrecognition exchange and claims the transaction permanently erases all gain for every later disposition, regardless of basis rules. Which is correct?
- Nonrecognition always makes later sales tax-free
- The present exception does not itself guarantee permanent exemption; carryover basis and later-recognition rules must be considered
- The taxpayer can choose any basis without law
- All property-for-stock exchanges erase basis
- A later cash sale can never be taxable
