I invested $100,000 in a company in 1998. I got a $20,000 tax credit from NYS.
Is my basis $100,000 or $80,000? I had to pay federal income tax on the credit, so if it also reduces my basis I will be taxed twice on it; so presumably it is still $100,000, but I want to be sure.
The company is nearly worthless. If I were to sell my stock to the company for a $10,000 note could I take my $90,000 loss now, and another $10,000 when the note becomes officially worthless; or something else.
