Federal Taxation, Dustin M. Covello, Augustus N. Makris Jul 2010

Federal Taxation, Dustin M. Covello, Augustus N. Makris

Mercer Law Review

This Article surveys the limited number of significant federal tax cases decided by courts in the Eleventh Circuit in 2009. In Commissioner v. Neal, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit became the first circuit court of appeals to examine whether the United States Tax Court was required to conduct a trial de novo when a taxpayer appealed the Internal Revenue Service's denial of relief under I.R.C. § 6015. In Nero Trading, LLC v. United States, the Eleventh Circuit addressed the nature of the hearing a district court must provide to a taxpayer who challenges …


It Is Not Too Late For The Health Savings Account, Jessica A. Bejerea Apr 2010

It Is Not Too Late For The Health Savings Account, Jessica A. Bejerea

Chicago-Kent Law Review

The Health Savings Account (HSA), a tax-advantaged savings vehicle for paying medical expenses, paired with the high deductible health plan, has become a popular means of controlling health care costs and insurance premiums. Recently Congress attempted to increase the attractiveness of the HSA and the high deductible health plan when it amended HSA law in 2006. This note examines these recent changes and argues that certain provisions of the amendments, along with IRS guidance, have instead complicated the rules for HSAs and have neglected to resolve at least one important issue.

Taxation, Pregnancy, And Privacy, Bridget J. Crawford Feb 2010

Taxation, Pregnancy, And Privacy, Bridget J. Crawford

William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice

This Article frames a discussion of surrogacy within the context of existing income tax laws. A surrogate receives money for carrying and bearing a child. This payment is income by any definition, even if the surrogacy contract recites that it is a “reimbursement.” Cases and rulings on the income tax consequences of the sale of blood and human breast milk, as well as analogies to situations in which people are paid to wear advertising on their bodies, support the conclusion that a surrogate recognizes taxable income, although the Internal Revenue Service has never stated so. For tax purposes, the reproductive …

Avoiding Misuse Of Donor Advised Funds, Michael J. Hussey Jan 2010

Avoiding Misuse Of Donor Advised Funds, Michael J. Hussey

Cleveland State Law Review

This Article presents a proposal for further modifying donor advised funds to retain most of their hallmark flexibility and ease of use while drawing them into line with other charitable giving vehicles that put contributed funds to use for active charitable purposes. This Article argues that using individual retirement accounts as an underlying legal model for donor advised funds will address Congress's concerns regarding the appropriateness of the income tax deductions for contributions to donor advised funds while allowing donor advised funds to retain much of their hallmark flexibility and ease of operation.

Question Of Purpose: Early Retirement Payments To Tenured Professors Constitute Wages Subject To Fica Taxation, Stephen Scott Wick Jan 2010

Question Of Purpose: Early Retirement Payments To Tenured Professors Constitute Wages Subject To Fica Taxation, Stephen Scott Wick

Cleveland State Law Review

Currently, there is a circuit split on the issue of whether early retirement payments (ERPs) made to tenured faculty constitute wages subject to Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA) taxation. In North Dakota State University v. United States, the Eighth Circuit held that ERPs made to tenured faculty do not constitute FICA wages because such payments are made to purchase the constitutionally protected property interest that tenured faculty hold in their tenure rights. However, the Sixth and Third Circuits, in Appoloni v. United States and University of Pittsburgh v. United States respectively, held that such payments do constitute FICA wages because …
