The Easy Case Against Tax Simplification, Samuel A. Donaldson Nov 2015

The Easy Case Against Tax Simplification, Samuel A. Donaldson

Samuel A. Donaldson

There is growing political momentum to simplify the Internal Revenue Code. While the federal tax laws should be no more complex than necessary, this Article demonstrates that tax complexity is not as bad as political rhetoric leads us to believe. The Article makes four arguments in support of this thesis. First, the forces comprising tax complexity are either inevitable or net beneficial, so calls for simplification are ultimately pointless. Second, the alleged harms of tax complexity are either unproven or overstated, so the need for simplification is questionable. Third, significant proposals for simplification are flawed because they either overcorrect for …

Super-Recognition And The Return-To-Sender Exception: The Federal Income Tax Problems Of Liquidating The Family Limited Partnership, Samuel Donaldson Nov 2015

Super-Recognition And The Return-To-Sender Exception: The Federal Income Tax Problems Of Liquidating The Family Limited Partnership, Samuel Donaldson

Samuel A. Donaldson

This article discusses three income tax rules that can cause partners to recognize gain for federal income tax purposes upon the liquidation of a family limited partnership: §§ 704(c)(1)(B), 731(c), and 737. From a policy perspective, the application of these rules to traditional family limited partnerships creates two problems. These problems are illustrated through the use of a hypothetical case study. The first problem (which arises where the partnership holds loss property) is that of super-recognition, where a partner recognizes more gain from the liquidation than he or she would recognize upon a sale of his or her partnership interest. …
