b) The maximum amount of loss that Guilda can claim on her 2018 tax return as a current shareholder is equal to her current basis in the stock. That basis is $21,000 so Guilda can only deduct $21,000 from her 2018 tax return.

c) Seeing as Lorraine acquired the stock from Bill on May 26, the amount of loss due to her will be for the period she held the stock.

She held the stock for,

= 365 - 146

= 219 days

At 50% ownership, her losses will be,

= 104,000 * 0.5 * 219/365

= $31,200
