Be sure to identify each item$$s character. At the end of each amount that requires a character, you will have

$$ ordinary income or loss,

$$ capital gain or loss which is also short$-$term or long$-$term $($i$.$e$.$ STCG$,$ STCL$,$ LTCG$,$ or LTCL$),$ or

$1250$ unrecaptured gains.

Assume that problem lists all relevant transactions $($in other words, there is nothing else you need to net against$).$ When I ask $$What is the tax effect?$$ I am asking for a dollar amount and character $$ there may be more than one piece with different characters. Don$$t calculate the tax liability unless asked to do so $($you won$$t have enough information in most of the problems$).$

What is the tax effect? What is the tax liability?

For this problem you will need to figure the gain or loss and character$($s$)$ on each asset separately. Then net the amounts that have the same character so you have one amount in each character category. Then calculate the tax $($as different characters have different tax rates$)$ for each category and sum. Show your work
