  1. Your basis for figuring a gain is the same as the donor's adjusted basis, plus or minus any required adjustments to basis while you held the property.
  2. Your basis for figuring a loss is the FMV of the property when you received the gift, plus or minus any required adjustments to basis while you held the property.

Your basis would be $250,000 (your basis) plus $125,000 (donor's basis) = $375,000. Your loss would be $75,000.
