No. A deferred gain is shown as a liabilty. If it had not been deferred it would be shown as capital. Whatever is received by the seller is an asset (cash or note receivable, etc).

Example Sale of land with a basis of $400,000 for a sales price of $900,000. The deferred gain is $500,000. Note receivable 900,000 Land 400,000 Deferred Gain 500,000
Do you have to pay capital gains tax on property inherited from a trust?
No. Capital gain tax is a tax that is assessed when an asset is sold. The passing of an asset by inheritance (one received by the laws of intestacy when a decedent dies without a will) or an asset distributed from a trust does not constitute a sale; thus, the tax is not triggered. The tax is triggered when the property, inherited from a decedent or as a distribution from the trust, is sold. Assets owned by a decedent (or his revocable trust) get a new basis when the decedent dies, equal to the asset's value as of the date of death. If you sell the asset for more than the basis, then the tax is payable on the sale price, minus the basis. On the other hand, if an asset is owned by a trust, is sold by the trust, and proceeds are received by the trust, the trust must pay the capital gain tax.
