Tax Treatment Of Employment-Related Personal Injury Awards: The Need For Limits, J. Martin Burke, Michael K. Friel

UF Law Faculty Publications

Part II reviews the origin of amounts received as damages on account of non-physical injuries. Part III analyzes the application of Section 104(a)(2) focusing on how courts have often blurred the distinction between what non-physical injuries are encompassed by the term “personal injury,” and whether a taxpayer …

Should General Utilities Be Reinstated To Provide Partial Integration Of Corporate And Personal Income—Is Half A Loaf Better Than None?, Douglas A. Kahn

Articles

The General Utilities doctrine is the name given to the now largely defunct tax rule that a corporation does not recognize a gain or a loss on making a liquidating or nonliquidating distribution of an appreciated or depreciated asset to its shareholders. The roots of the doctrine, can be traced to a regulation promulgated in 1919 that denied realization of gain or loss to a corporation when making a liquidating distribution of an asset in kind. No regulatory provision existed which specified the extent to which realization would or would not be triggered by a nonliquidating distribution such as a …

The Infield Fly Rule And The Internal Revenue Code: An Even Further Aside, Mark W. Cochran

Faculty Articles

Baseball’s infield fly rule and certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code are similar. The purpose of the infield fly rule is to prevent the defense from making a double play by subterfuge, at a time when the offense is helpless to prevent it.

In baseball, as in life, fairness is an elusive concept that defies precise definition. Considering the infield fly rule, the “unfairness” derives from the infielder’s ability to manipulate a situation without incurring any risk. Federal tax law, like the rules of baseball, recognizes and responds to the “manipulation without risk” phenomenon. Section 267 of the Internal …

An Aggregate Approach To Indirect Exchanges Of Partnership Interests: Reconciling Section 1031 And Subchapter K, Karen C. Burke

UF Law Faculty Publications

This article examines indirect exchanges of partnership interests in light of the distinctive continuity-of-investment principles of section 1031 and Subchapter K of the Internal Revenue Code. Part II of the article focuses on the failure of judicial responses and alternative approaches prior to the 1984 Act to prevent the potential abuses of direct exchanges of partnership interests. Part III examines section 1031(a)(2)(D) against the background of two recent decisions by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit concerning successive tax-free exchanges. Part IV focuses on planning techniques involving like-kind exchanges coupled with partnership contributions and distributions. Part …

The Supreme Court's Misconstruction Of A Procedural Statute-A Critique Of The Court's Decision In Badaracco, Douglas A. Kahn

Articles

When a taxpayer files an honest' federal income tax return for a taxable year, section 6501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code2 limits the period of time during which the Government can assess a tax for that year to a three-year period commencing with the date that the return was filed. The three-year limitations period is extended for an additional three years by section 6501(e)(1)(A) if the taxpayer's return omits properly includible gross income in an amount in excess of twenty-five percent of the gross income that was reported. If a taxpayer fails to file a return for a taxable year …

To Hold Or Not To Hold: Magneson, Bolker, And Continuity Of Investment Under I.R.C. Section 1031, J. Martin Burke, Michael K. Friel

UF Law Faculty Publications

This article examines the judicial and administrative development of the two holding requirements under the continuity of investment standards of section 1031 prior to decisions of the Tax Court and the Ninth Circuit in Magneson v. Commissioner and Bolker v. Commissioner, both of which expanded the boundaries of qualified holding and reemphasized the need for guidance from the Treasury or Congress on these issues. Next the article examines the subsequent impact of these decisions. Finally, the article suggests a standard to be followed in the future.
