Simplexity: Plain Language And The Tax Law, Joshua D. Blank, Leigh Osofsky Jan 2017

Simplexity: Plain Language And The Tax Law, Joshua D. Blank, Leigh Osofsky

Articles

In recent years, federal government agencies have increasingly attempted to use plain language in written communications with the public. The Plain Writing Act of 2010, for instance, requires agencies to incorporate "clear and simple" explanations of rules and regulations into their official publications.

Unwinding The Ceiling Rule, Leigh Osofsky Jan 2014

Unwinding The Ceiling Rule, Leigh Osofsky

Articles

This article closely examines the unwinding of the ceiling rule. Congress and partnership tax experts historically have assumed perfect unwinding of the ceiling rule on liquidation or sale of a partnership interest. However, this assumption glosses over a significantly more complicated reality. This article closely examines the history of section 704(c) and the interaction between the ceiling rule and the rules regarding sales and liquidations of partnership interests to reveal the extent to which the assumption does not hold. By debunking long-held assumptions about the perfect unwinding of the ceiling rule, this article displays that there is no reasonable justification …

An Essay On The Conceptual Foundations Of The Tax Benefit Rule, Patricia D. White Dec 1983

An Essay On The Conceptual Foundations Of The Tax Benefit Rule, Patricia D. White

Articles

A good deal has been written over the past forty-odd years about the tax benefit rule. Over this period the federal courts have decided many cases in which its application has been at issue, and the law journals have published a small but steady stream of commentary on the rule and its manifestations. Last term, in Hillsboro National Bank v. Commissioner, the Supreme Court issued an opinion that focused squarely, and at some length, on the tax benefit rule. Despite this attention, relatively little has been done to examine the conceptual foundations of the tax benefit rule and to …
