Abstract

This article analyzes the judicial interpretations of "amount realized" to a shareholder upon transfer of stock to a corporate employee. The author criticizes the overextension of the Davis presumption - when properties are exchanged at arms length their values are approximately equal - to the stock transfer situation. He concludes that a more appropriate test would be to examine the nature of the property received to determine whether the Davis presumption should be applied.
