Answer:
D. $3,000
Explanation:
The shareholder's tax basis =
SYBIL tax basis in the property transferred + gain recognized - cash received of $2,000 - the liability assumed by the corporation.
$5,000 + $1,000 - $2000 - $1,000 = $3,000.
If Sybil sells the stock for $3,000, no gain or loss will be recognized, an amount equal to the gain deferred of $0.
