John:
I don't have any idea to which case she is referring. If I were you I would call the judge's law clerk and see if the clerk will give you a hint. If you find out, I have one in a couple of weeks before the same judge, so keep us posted.

A trustee was just asking me today what the client's basis was in property
she sold in a case in which I represent creditors because she will have to
pay the IRS.

Can't help you with cases, but argument is that since you are not selling the property, you don't get to deduct the expenses related to sale or the taxes related to same.

Hello Brain Trust:
I tried to confirm a chapter 11 plan in front of Judge Riblet last week.
One reason it didn't confirm was that the judge found that it did not meet
the "best interests" of creditors test, 1129(a)(7)(A)(ii).
Judge Riblet announced that I had miscalculated the equity available to
unsecured creditors, because I had factored in an 8 percent cost of sale
for a $3.6 million apartment building, and I had also factored in the
capital gains taxes on the property. These don't belong, she said, because
of recent case law.
I've looked and can't find any such case. All I see is that I am supposed
to present the results of a hypothetical chapter 7 liquidation, which would
definitely incur costs of sale and capital gains taxes. Does anyone know
why she might think they don't apply in this test?
