I have a client who abandoned a rental. Their 1099-A shows an outstanding loan balance of $50,000 and an fmv of $58,000. Their adjusted basis in the rental is $46,000. Do they have a taxable gain of $4,000, since their basis is less than the debt abandoned? Do I report it like a sale of $50,000?

Yes, report it as if they sold if for $50,000.
