Expert Solution

Section 351 of the Internal revenue Code says that no gain or loss shall be recognized if property is transferred to a corporation by one or more persons solely in exchange for stock in such corporation and immediately after the exchange such person or persons are in control of the corporation.

Tax liability if Health Innovation assumes mortgage:

As per Internal Revenus Code, gain shall be recognized, but not in excess —

(A)the amount of money received, plus

(B)the fair market value of received; and

(2)no loss to such recipient shall be recognized.

It means, gain can not be more than the FMV. Hence gain in this case will be $ 123,500.
