Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@sac428  agreeing with my colleague @NCperson , the gain/loss computation on disposal of an asset  ( foreign or otherwise ) is based on a  number of items  -- your basis,  accumulated depreciation, sales price, sales expenses etc. etc.   So it is not useful to hazard a guess based solely on sales price -- that is what  @NCperson  is trying to get across.  Capital gain tax is also affected by your  AGI  without considering the  Capital gain ( MAGI ).

 

So could you provide more info on your situation :   which country is the asset located in,  how did you use it . when did you acquire it and how,  any depreciation allowable  (   claimed opt not )  ,   when did you sell, was there any sales expenses  ( such as sales preparation costs, commission, transfer tax,  etc. i.e. expenses that you would not have incurred if you had not tried to sell / sold the asset .

 

Will circle back once I hear from you --yes ?
