Ordinary income property is any property that, if sold, will result in the recognition of ordinary income. This term includes inventory for sale in the taxpayer's trade or business, a work of art created by the taxpayer, and a manuscript prepared by the donor. A rereading of section 1221 will reveal that these are the very items excluded under that section.
