Study Notes

Asset Classification Rules

  • A property purchased for business use remains an ordinary asset, even when business plans change.
  • Discontinuing the active use of a property does not change its classification as a business asset.
  • Real properties used, currently being used, or previously used in a taxpayer's trade are classified as ordinary assets.
  • A depreciable asset remains an ordinary asset regardless of depreciation status, even if fully depreciated or depreciation was not claimed.
  • Real properties used by exempt corporations in their exempt operations are considered capital assets.
  • For taxpayers not in the real estate business, unused real properties for two years prior to a taxable transaction are considered capital assets.
  • Property transferred through sale, barter, exchange, inheritance, donation, or declaration of property dividends retains its original asset classification.
  • Involuntary transfers of real properties, such as expropriation or foreclosure sales, do not affect the asset classification.
