Unlike property included to balance the value of like properties exchanged.
Example: In an exchange of property under section of the internal revenue code, Collins exchanges her warehouse worth $1,000,000 and receives Baker’s land worth $1,250,000. Collins pays $240,000 cash and a car worth $10,000 to boot in order to equalize the values of properties exchanged. The car and cash are boot (Figure 28).

1. in computers, process of starting up a computer. The term boot derives from the idea that the computer has to pull itself up by its bootstraps, that is, load into memory a small program that enables it to load larger programs. There are two types of booting operations.
One is cold boot, which is the operation of booting a computer that has been completely shut down. The other is warm boot, which is a restarting operation in which some of the needed programs are already in memory. In the case of the PC, for example, the warm boot is done by pressing the ctr, alt, and del keys simultaneously. On Macs, this can be done by pressing the Restart button.
2. in taxation, cash or property of a type not included in the definition of a nontaxable exchange. The receipt of boot will cause an otherwise tax-free transfer to become taxable to the extent of the smaller of the fair market value of such boot or the realized gain on the transfer. Examples of those types include transfers to controlled corporations.

[techspeak; from ‘by one's bootstraps’] To load and initialize the operating system on a machine. This usage is no longer jargon (having passed into techspeak) but has given rise to some derivatives that are still jargon.
The derivative reboot implies that the machine hasn't been down for long, or that the boot is a bounce (sense 4) intended to clear some state of wedgitude. This is sometimes used of human thought processes, as in the following exchange: “You've lost me.” “OK, reboot. Here's the theory....”
This term is also found in the variants cold boot (from power-off condition) and warm boot (with the CPU and all devices already powered up, as after a hardware reset or software crash).
Another variant: soft boot, reinitialization of only part of a system, under control of other software still running: “If you're running the mess-dos emulator, control-alt-insert will cause a soft-boot of the emulator, while leaving the rest of the system running.”
Opposed to this there is hard boot, which connotes hostility towards or frustration with the machine being booted: “I'll have to hard-boot this losing Sun.” “I recommend booting it hard.” One often hard-boots by performing a power cycle.
Historical note: this term derives from bootstrap loader, a short program that was read in from cards or paper tape, or toggled in from the front panel switches. This program was always very short (great efforts were expended on making it short in order to minimize the labor and chance of error involved in toggling it in), but was just smart enough to read in a slightly more complex program (usually from a card or paper tape reader), to which it handed control; this program in turn was smart enough to read the application or operating system from a magnetic tape drive or disk drive. Thus, in successive steps, the computer ‘pulled itself up by its bootstraps’ to a useful operating state. Nowadays the bootstrap is usually found in ROM or EPROM, and reads the first stage in from a fixed location on the disk, called the ‘boot block’. When this program gains control, it is powerful enough to load the actual OS and hand control over to it.
The flange and metal casing around a pipe that passes through a roof.

Term referring to the taxable portion of a nontaxable exchange.
The general rule for nonrecognition tax treatment in a like-kind exchange applies only to qualifying property exchanged solely for other qualifying property. However, if an exchange that otherwise qualifies for nonrecognition treatment includes the transfer of cash or non-like-kind property (called “boot”), the transaction still qualifies for like-kind exchange treatment, but is only partially nontaxable (IRC §1031). There are three different types of boot: (1) cash, (2) nonqualifying property (i.e., property that is not “like-kind” to the property exchanged, property not held for productive use in a trade or business or for investment, and property like stock in trade and goodwill that is excluded from nonrecognition treatment); and (3) assumption of liabilities.

Investopedia Says:
For example, when you trade in an older car (and cash) for a new model, the cash you pay in addition to your older car is the boot. In fact, you still hear people say things like "I'll throw in the warranty to boot", when referring to a sweetener for a deal.

"Boots" redirects here. For the UK retail chain, see Boots UK.
For other uses, see Boot (disambiguation).
A boot is a type of footwear and a specific type of shoe. Most boots mainly cover the foot and the ankle and extend up the leg, sometimes as far as the knee or even the hip. Most boots have a heel that is clearly distinguishable from the rest of the sole, even if the two are made of one piece. Traditionally made of leather or rubber, modern boots are made from a variety of materials. Boots are worn both for their functionality – protecting the foot and leg from water, snow, mud or hazards or providing additional ankle support for strenuous activities – and for reasons of style and fashion. High-top athletic shoes are generally not considered boots, even though they do cover the ankle, primarily due to the absence of a distinct heel.

History
Early boots consisted of separate leggings, soles, and uppers worn together to provide greater ankle protection than shoes or sandals. Around 1000 B.C. these components were more permanently joined to form a single unit that covered the feet and lower leg, often up to the knee. A type of soft leather ankle boots were worn by nomads in eastern Asia, and carried to China to India and Russia around 1200 to 1500 A.D by Mongol invaders. The Inuit and Aleut natives of Alaska developed traditional winter boots of caribou skin or sealskin featuring decorative touches of seal intestine, dog hair and wolverine fur. 17th century European boots were influenced by military styles, featuring thick soles and turnover tops that were originally designed to protect horse mounted soldiers. In the 1700s, distinctive, knee-high boots worn by Hessian soldiers fighting in the American Revolutionary War influenced the development of the iconic heeled cowboy boots worn by cattlemen in the American west.[1]
Types and uses
Boots designed for walking through the elements may be made of a single closely stitched design (using leather, rubber, canvas, or similar material) to prevent the entry of water, snow, mud or dirt through gaps between the laces and tongue found in other types of shoes. Waterproof gumboots are made in different lengths of uppers. In extreme cases, thigh-boots called waders, worn by anglers, extend to the hip. Such boots may also be insulated for warmth. Most boots sold in retail stores are not actually waterproof.
Speciality boots have been made to temporarily protect steelworkers if they get caught in pools of molten metal, to protect workers from a variety of chemical exposure, and insulated, inflatable boots for use in Antarctica. Most work boots are "laceups" made from leather. Formerly they were usually shod with hobnails and heel- and toe-plates, but now usually with a thick rubber sole, and often with steel toecaps. Work boots (like the popular Dr. Martens) were adopted by skinheads and punks as part of their typical dress and have migrated to more mainstream fashion, including women's wear.[2] As a more rugged alternative to dress shoes, dress boots may be worn (though these can be more formal than shoes).
Boots are normally worn with socks to prevent chafes and blisters, to absorb sweat and to improve the foot's grip inside the boot. Before socks became widely available, footwraps were worn instead.
Specialty boots have been designed for many different types of sports, particularly riding, skiing and snowboarding, ice-skating, and sporting in wet conditions.
Fashionable boots for women may exhibit all the variations seen in other fashion footwear: tapered or spike heels, platform soles, pointed toes, zipper closures and the like. The popularity of boots as fashion footwear ebbs and flows. They were popular in the 1960s and 1970s, but diminished in popularity towards the end of the 20th century. Today, they are becoming popular, especially designs with a long bootleg. Boot bolo's, boot bracelets, boot straps, boot chains, and boot harnesses, are used to decorate boots.
Boots have their own devotees among boot fetishists, shoe fetishists and foot fetishists. Singer Nancy Sinatra was largely responsible for popularizing the fad of women wearing boots in the late 1960s.
In comic books, many "super-heroes" and/or "super-villains" wear boots as part of their customary outfits.
