Review

Chapter 7 explains the income tax consequences of selling the farm assets and uses an example to compare the income tax liability that results from a sale of assets in one year, selling assets over more than one year and an installment sale. It briefly discusses the tax effects of death, including income tax basis adjustment and gift and estate taxes.
