    Capital Asset ?

    I have a customer that inherited (about 15 years ago) her deceased parents share of ownership in a retirement residential
    co-op building - an apartment. She plans to sell her interest share in 2025.
    The office manager of the co-op told her that this is treated differently for tax purposes.
    Not sure how this sale would be treated differently than any other capital asset.
    Thanks for comments

    If you live in a cooperative, you don’t own your apartment. Instead, a corporation owns the apartments and you are a tenant-stockholder in the cooperative housing corporation. (Pub 527)

    I suspect you might have to do some digging to figure out what the adjusted basis of the stock is, since some but not all the coop expenses are considered capital.

      Don't forget about section 121, as I believe co-op shareholders qualify if used as main home
