To calculate the enhanced deduction under 170(e)(3), we must first determine if the property being donated is a “qualified contribution.” The code stipulates that a qualified contribution must be in accordance with 1221(a)(1) and 1221(a)(2). Pursuant to section1221(a)(1), the property in question is a qualified contribution and not a 1221 capital asset, because it is property that is held by the taxpayer for sale in the normal course of business. Therefore, this property is not capital gain property it is ordinary income property as defined in income tax regulation 1.170 A-4(b)(1). Under IRC 170(e)(3)(B) the amount of the charitable contribution of ordinary income property must be reduced in accordance with the following subsections to determine the final value of the deduction.…

Internal Revenue Code Section 351 permits shareholders of a corporation to defer recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of assets to the corporation. The transfer of property may be made when a new corporation is formed or may reflect additional capital contributions to an existing corporation. Without Section 351, a sole proprietorship or a partnership would have difficulty adopting the corporate form of organization for legal and/or tax purposes because the transfer of appreciated property would constitute a taxable transaction in a recognized gain. The deferral of gain or loss under Section 351 can be justified because the assets have merely been transferred to a corporation that is controlled by the transferors. Section 351 also prevents the recognition of losses on transfers of property that has declined in value.…
