3M business sale
Have a client who is selling her business for 3M with her ex-husband so she will receive 1.5M. She is looking for a one lump payment. Does not want to go on with her ex or any payment plan although it would probably be in her best interest to take buyout plan over 3-5yrs.
I know she cannot do a 1031 since there is no property is involved.
-
Is there any such thing as a cost basis in a business sale so she can reduce the taxes on the 1.5M?
-
If there is a cost basis, what can be added to the cost basis?
-
Is there any avenue available for her to take to reduce or defer taxes on the 1.5M?
thank you for any assistance.
