    Check the explanation

    Explanation:

    Having a net section loss of 1231, it can be counted as an ordinary loss. Whenever you have a net section gain of 1231, it is ordinary income up to the sum of your section 1231 losses that was not recaptured from previous years. The rest, that is if there's any, is long-term capital gain.

    Year 2: Ordinary income = 10,500

    Year 3: Loss carried forward = 12,000-10,500+14000 = $15,500

    Year 4: Ordinary Income = $7,500 (15,500-7500 = $8,000)

    Year 5: Ordinary Income = $8,000 & Capital Gain = $1,000
