medium · Certified Financial Planner Tax Planning

A Fenwick planner identifies that a client's gift of depreciated stock (Basis $60k; FMV $40k) resulted in a sale at $50k.

According to Heuristic H6 ('Risk Before Return'), what was the primary risk of this gift?

  1. The risk of exceeding the $15,000,000 basic exclusion amount.
  2. The risk of the IRS recharacterizing the gift as a sale.
  3. The risk of the stock price falling further after the gift.
  4. The risk of wasting the built-in loss deduction.
