Question #14. You want to purchase a house. The purchase price of the house is $300,000. You have $30,000 in your bank account to use as a down payment. You will need to borrow $270,000 in order to purchase the house. You find a bank that will loan you the $270,000 so you can buy the house.

After you purchase the house for $300,000 ($30,000 of your own money and $270,000 of borrowed money), what is your tax basis in the house?
