    The answer is: Ms. Crocker LTCL is $0 and her basis for her 1,000 shares purchased in 2020 is $8,000

    Explanation:

    Ms. Crocker initially bought 1,000 stocks at $10,000, then she sold her stock at $9,000 losing $1,000. Then she again bought the same stock for $7,000. She can offset her initial loss ($1,000) and instead add it to the value of the stock purchased later. So instead of having 1,000 shares with a $7,000 value, she can value her stock at $8,000.
