Question:

Read the following:

After several years of a difficult marriage, Ronald and Susan agreed to a divorce. As part of the property settlement, Susan transferred to Ronald corporate stock, a commercial building, and a personal residence. Ronald transferred other property to Susan, but the fair market value of the property was $500,000 less than the fair market value of the property Susan had transferred to him. To make the final settlement equitable, Ronald agreed to pay Susan $500,000 payable over 6 years at 6% interest. For several years, Ronald deducted the interest on his Federal income tax return as investment interest. Upon audit, the IRS disallowed the interest deduction, classifying it as nondeductible personal interest. Ronald believes the interest is deductible and has asked you to find support for the deduction. Write a letter with your findings to Ronald Martin, 950 Briarwood Drive, Herrin, IL 62948.
