Recognized gain or loss

Recognized gain or loss is the profit earned, or deficit incurred, from the sale of an asset. When the asset is sold for more than its purchase price, the seller recognizes a gain. When the asset is sold for less than its purchase price, the seller recognizes a loss. Recognized gains are usually considered taxable income, but these gains can be offset by recognized losses.
