1.(a) When stock of Pepsi received by granddaughter as gift and market value is more than original cost then , use original cost basis when sale of stock
here Granddaughter sold stock on 1st June 2019 for $20000
and original cost basis is $ 5000
Capital gain =$15000.
Holding period in case of property gifted and stock basis taken as original cost then period shall be determined from original holder of property.Here we assume peiod of holding is not more than one year then capital gain is treated as short term capital gain. Therefore short term capital gain= $15000
Tax shall be
15% * $15000= $2250
*As per IRC gift tax applicble to doner who transfers his property with or without consideration
(b)If She is inherited stock then the stock basis is fair market value at the time of inheritence
therefore Stock basis = $10000.
On June 1st 2019 she sold stock for $20000.
Capital gain = $10000
In case of inheritence of property, loss or gain on susequent distribution of property treated as long term loss or gain regardless of how long beneficiary hold the property.
here
Then long term Capital gain =$10000.
tax rate on long term capital gain in case of Trust & estates
0% tax rate on capital gain up to $2600
15% tax rate on %2601- $12700
Therefore tax on long term capital gain is
up to $ 2600 * 0%=0
on ($10000-2600) i.e $7400 * 15% =$1110.
2).
