Michigan Law Review
In 1961, the stockholders of the Mountain States Mixed Feed Co. voted to liquidate the corporation in such a way as to comply with the requirements of section 337 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (Code). That section provides that if a corporation adopts a plan of complete liquidation, and then within twelve months distributes all its assets, it will not recognize a gain or loss for income tax purposes from the sale or exchange of certain types of property. The corporation sold all of its assets and qualified for non-recognition treatment under section 337. It then claimed a …

Michigan Law Review
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue issued jeopardy assessments against the taxpayer, Omar, S.A., a Uruguayan corporation. To avoid payment, Omar began to liquidate its American-held assets by transferring receipts out of the country. Pursuant to its statutory right, under section 6321 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, to impose a lien upon all property of a delinquent taxpayer, the United States brought suit against Omar and various New York banks in the domestic and foreign branches of which Omar's funds were deposited. The district court granted a preliminary injunction restraining certain of the banks from transferring any property whether …

Taxation-Federal Income Taxation-Examination Of Certain Problems Under Section 335, Roger B. Harris S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Stock and securities of controlled corporations may be distributed to shareholders, tax free, in cases of corporate separations which qualify under section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. A corporate separation is effected by the transfer of part of a corporation's assets to a subsidiary, the stock of which is distributed to the parent's stockholders. Such distributions are generally classified into three categories: spin-off, split-off, and split-up. A spin-off occurs when corporation A forms corporation B to which A transfers certain assets, receiving in exchange, the stock of corporation B. A then distributes the stock of …

Taxation - Federal Income Tax - Capital Gain Treatment Of Amount Received From Sublessee By Lessee-Sublessor For Surrender Of Lease To Lessor, Paul Tractenberg
Michigan Law Review
The lessor and the sublessee of a valuable piece of business property sought to remove the intervening interest of petitioner, the lessee-sublessor. Petitioner agreed to release to the lessor all his right and interest in the leasehold and in consideration therefor petitioner received a sum of money from the sublessee. The Tax Court decided in a deficiency proceeding that the entire amount should be taxed as ordinary income on the ground that it was merely a substitute for future rental payments. On appeal, held, reversed. Since the substance of the transaction was the transfer of the leasehold from the …

Taxation - Federal Income Tax - Meals And Lodging Under The 1954 Code, John H. Mcdermott
Taxation - Federal Income Tax - Meals And Lodging Under The 1954 Code, John H. Mcdermott
Michigan Law Review
Before discussing the application of the 1954 Internal Revenue Code with regard to the taxability of meals and lodging furnished an employee by his employer, several fundamental tax concepts should be examined. The first of these involves the definition of gross income, which for many years has been cast in broad statutory language. For example, section 22(a) of the 1939 Internal Revenue Code provided that gross income includes " ... gains, profits, and income derived from salaries, wages, or compensation for personal service ... of whatever kind and in whatever form paid .... " Comprehensive as these terms appear, gross …

Michigan Law Review
This comment will not be expository of all of the trust provisions but rather will attempt to deal with some of the more important interpretative difficulties likely to be encountered in the new law involving the taxation of the income of those trusts which may accumulate income, distribute corpus, or pay or set aside amounts for charitable purposes. It will be assumed that the reader is familiar with the basic statutory pattern of the trust sections of the new code.

Taxation - Federal Income Tax - Extent To Which A Dividend In Kind Is Ordinary Income Under The Internal Revenue Code, Alice Austin S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Taxpayer, a corporate shareholder, received from the corporation a distribution of property which had appreciated in value over its adjusted cost. The earnings and profits of the corporation were sufficient to cover the adjusted cost of the property distributed, but were not sufficient to cover its full fair market value at the time of distribution. The Tax Court held that the fair market value of the distribution was taxable as a dividend only to the extent of the corporation's earnings and profits. On appeal, held, reversed. In determining whether a distribution in kind is a dividend under section 115(a), …
Michigan Title Examinations And The 1954 Revenue Code's New General Lien Provisions, L. Hart Wright
Michigan Title Examinations And The 1954 Revenue Code's New General Lien Provisions, L. Hart Wright
Michigan Law Review
Title examiners, and more particularly their clients, have long suffered from a controversy-limited almost exclusively to Michigan- involving the methods by which the United States Treasury Department could perfect general federal tax liens. The December 1952 issue of the Michigan Law Review carried an article by the present writer pointing up the irreconcilable difference which has existed for a quarter of a century between the type of record notice which the Treasury was willing to provide prospective bona fide purchasers et al., and the quite different and more demanding type which the Michigan Legislature insisted upon if the local offices …
