Dave T 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2004 In all cases, false. In a few cases, where the IRS determines that the lease option is really a disguised sale, the transaction could be recharacterized as an installment sale or as a dealer disposition. More often than not, a sale occurs when the tenant-buyer exercises his option to purchase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
