Explanation:

As per section 351, if an individual transfers property or assets to the the corporation in exchange for stock and takes ownership of the organization after such exchange is not liable to recognize any gain or loss on account of such transaction.

Here, Tina gains ownership through transferring assets in exchange for stock, as per section 351, she cannot recognize realized loss of $10,000.
