The document provides an example computation of the vanishing deduction for property previously taxed or with a vanishing deduction. It details the transfer of property from Mr. Sancho to his son Junior in 2012, then from Junior to his estate in 2015. The computation takes the value of the properties transferred, subtracts the mortgage debt paid, sets the initial basis, applies a proportional deduction based on the estate's gross value and deductions, and calculates the final basis and vanishing deduction at 40% of the final basis amount.
