My client sold real estate 1-15-15. It is reported as installment sale income. He refinanced on 6-6-19 for purchaser, but used the incorrect amount as the beginning balance, $9,000 less than the actual amount owed. If the basis stays the same as the original amount, there will be a $42,700 loss. Does the basis change?

The numbers in your question make absolutely no sense to me. Which software are you using?
