Victory Housing No. 2, Inc. v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue

Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit

Decided June 12, 1953No. 4592_1PublishedCited by 37 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

HUXMAN, Circuit Judge.

The question in this case is whether the gain realized from the sale of 42 housing units by petitioner during a six months period during the fiscal year ending in 1946 was taxable as a capital gain under section 117 (a, j) of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C.A., or as ordinary income under section 22(a). The Tax Court held that these units were held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of petitioner’s business and the gain realized from their sale was ordinary income and taxable as such. This appeal challenges the correctness of that conclusion.
