On January 1, Smith sold land to Baker for $100,000 cash plus a note for $200,000 plus adequate interest with a $30,000 principal payment due in the second year. Smith's basis in the property was $100,000. What is the amount of the gain recognized in the second year under the installment method?
Smith’s basis in the land was $100,000, and he sold the land for $300,000 (cash plus the note). As a result, under the installment method, 2/3 of all cash received is treated as a gain (with the other 1/3 a return of Smith’s original basis in the land). With the receipt of $30,000 in the second year, 2/3 (=$20,000) is treated as a gain.
