Supreme Court taxes investors on sale loss in real estate
In a 1983 ruling, Clark and four partners faced tax on the excess mortgage balance over their depreciated basis after selling a 120 unit complex. The court held that the sale bundled the mortgage repayment into taxable income, taxing about 400000 beyond the depreciated basis, despite market value decline.
