Her brother purchased the land for $43,000 on October 12, 2006. No gift tax was paid.

a. What is her NSTCL or NSTCG? Includes stock from Uncle and property gift from brother. Would I include gift tax because it is more tha $13000, and her brother didn't pay it? NCL from stock is (1,500)..because you take FMV-what she received. NCL on property is (5,000). Therefore the total NSTCL is: $6,500.

b. What is her NLTCL or NLTCG? Only includes the sale of the painting. Sold for 2,000-50 (for painting basis)=$1,950=NLTCG
