Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@user17518954898 no it doesn't. 

 

The value of the PSL is determined only when and only if you sell it on the open market. 

 

Assuming you are not a business.....

 

if you sell at a loss from the original purchase price, that is a personal loss and not tax-deductible.  If you sell it at a gain from the original purchase price, that gain is taxable income.   If the 30 years goes by and you no long have the right to the PSL, it's a personal loss and not tax-deductible. 

 

There is nothing to amortize.
