If the fair market value of the gifted property on the date it was received is less than the donor's adjusted basis, the basis used to calculate a loss upon the sale of the property is the fair market value at the time of the gift. This means that if the property is sold for less than its fair market value, the loss is calculated using that lower value rather than the donor's higher adjusted basis. Conversely, if the property is sold for more than the fair market value but less than the donor's basis, the basis for gain calculation would still be the donor's adjusted basis.
