I find it easier to look at it from a pre-tax vs. tax-paid perspective. The 100k of appreciation is something that you haven't paid taxes on, so you don't get a deduction for losing it. You've paid taxes on 150k of property, you end up with 175k worth of money/goods, therefore you have 25k gain for tax purposes.

Hate to do this so late in the game, but does anyone have an outline corresponding to the Bankman casebook that they're willing to share? Exam is in a week and a half. I've prepped my own but it's something like ~80 pages long and useless.

I am thinking the authority on point is 1.165-1(c)(4), which provides that "in determining the amount of loss actually sustained for purposes of 165(a), proper adjustment shall be made for any salvage value and for any insurance or other compensation received." Perhaps the "salvage value" language is what explains the E & E's answer? Assuming the stipulated FMV of the property remaining post-disaster ($75k) is the "salvage value," that would seem to explain the 150-75 result.

Plus one? I'm typing my own but it'd be pretty sweet to have a model outline.

Does anyone know if there are easily available answers to Bittker, McMahon & Zelenak's Federal Income Taxation of Individuals Study Problems? Thanks.
