Question - Please answer all four parts: A, B, C & D...and make sure to differentiate between the gain/loss realized and recognized in part a. I believe the recognized gain/loss is zero since I believe this transfer qualifies for § 351 treatment, but I would like confirmation of that thought. Thank you.
