Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Section 1244 allows an individual shareholder to deduct up to $50,000 of the loss from sale of the stock as an ordinary loss in the year of the sale. This means that the shareholder can offset their ordinary income with the loss, rather than being limited to offsetting their capital gains. This can result in a larger tax savings for the shareholder. It is important to note that this benefit is only available for individual shareholders, not corporate shareholders.
