Question:

Will owns residential rental property that is destroyed by a tornado in March 2015. He files a claim with his insurance company and receives $90,000 for the property. The building is fully depreciated, and the adjusted basis of the land is $3,000. The area around the property is being developed into a high-priced residential subdivision, and Will does not have the cash to build a replacement unit consistent with the quality of the new homes being built. In April 2016, Will sells the land for $75,000, and in December 2016, he finds a suitable replacement property for $170,000. Before Will acquires the replacement property he would like you to determine whether the sale of the land will be considered part of the involuntary conversion and eligible for gain deferral.
