My friend is an ex violinist for London Symphony.
He is married to a US citizen, living in Syracuse, NY but is not a citizen himself by choice. He purchased a violin in the UK 30 yrs.ago and used it for his work, for $10K (US $ equivalent) and sold it in the US recently to a collector for $35K. He asked me how this might be taxed?
Is this a capital gain or collectible or taxable at all in US? tks all
bill
