A Policy Analysis Of Fee-Shifting Rules Under The Internal Revenue Code, Gary Myers, Richard L. Schmalbeck Jan 1986

A Policy Analysis Of Fee-Shifting Rules Under The Internal Revenue Code, Gary Myers, Richard L. Schmalbeck

Faculty Publications

Until recently, the costs of litigating federal tax cases were borne exclusively by the parties who incurred them, regardless of whether the government or the taxpayer prevailed in the litigation. This practice reflects the application to tax disputes of the ‘American rule’ against fee shifting. Although the American rule continues to be predominant in the tax area, it has been modified in important respects. An explicit fee-reimbursement rule, benefiting prevailing taxpayers in cases in which the government is found to have acted unreasonably, was added to the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) by the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of …

Tax Exemptions For Racially Discriminatory Private Schools: A Legislative Proposal, Neal Devins Jan 1983

Tax Exemptions For Racially Discriminatory Private Schools: A Legislative Proposal, Neal Devins

Faculty Publications

In Revenue Ruling 71-447, the Internal Revenue Service expressly denied tax exemptions to racially discriminatory private schools. The Reagan administration recently challenged the existence of a defined policy prohibiting tax exemptions to these schools as well as the propriety of the IRS's involvement in regulating social policy. President Reagan has called upon Congress to settle the issue by enacting affirmative legislation. Congress, however, has maintained that long-established federal policy supports Revenue Ruling 71-447 and has refused to enact affirmative legislation. In this Article, Mr. Devins examines the conflict between the executive, judicial, and legislative branches of government and argues that …

Partnership Taxation: A Deceased Partner's Final Year, Michelle A. Cecil Jan 1981

Partnership Taxation: A Deceased Partner's Final Year, Michelle A. Cecil

Faculty Publications

One significant and unresolved partnership taxation problem is the taxation of a deceased partner's final year. In a recent case of first impression, Estate of Hesse v. Commissioner, the Tax Court held that the widow of a deceased partner could not include his share of partnership losses incurred during the year of his death on their final joint income tax return. Consequently, the widow lost thousands of dollars in tax refunds because the loss deductions could not offset prior taxable income. The Tax Court believed the result was illogical and unfair, but nevertheless found that the Code required the decedent's …

Section 335 Active Business Management: What Advice To Give Clients Today, John W. Lee Jan 1976

Section 335 Active Business Management: What Advice To Give Clients Today, John W. Lee

The IRS in three Rulings has taken the position that services for the distributing corporation performed through independent contractor could not satisfy the active business requirement test of Section 355. Mr. Lee analyzes the Rulings in light of case law and legislative history that have interpreted the Code's active business test. He concludes that further court tests will be necessary before there can be complete reliance upon active conduct by an independent contractor.
