    Client selling land to son

    Client had heard that there was a Trump tax break (capital gain) for sellin assets (land) to a relative. Was not heard at barber shop or beauty shop or coffee shop but from a cousin, so you know how that goes.

    Perhaps this Cousin will takeover as the new tax preparer!!! He gives a better deal.

      The same rates apply to a relative as a non-relative.

      As it has been for a long time, there could be restrictions for claiming a capital loss when selling to a relative.

        I did research, and of course didn't find anything, but just wanted to ask from my learned colleagues in case there was something hidden I missed.

          Yeah, it can be fairly easy to find something that DOES exist, but it can be quite difficult to prove that something does NOT exist. :-)
