El Tribunal Constitucional decidió paralizar la tramitación parlamentaria en el Senado de dos enmiendas impulsadas por el Gobierno para desbloquear su renovación. En Las Mañanas de RNE, María Jesús del Barco, presidenta de la Asociación Profesional de la Magistratura (APM), asegura que se puede seguir con la tramitación del texto, pero que lo único con lo que no se puede seguir son con esas enmiendas. Asegura que es una garantía para todos los ciudadanos que “la tramitación de la legislación se haga por los debidos cauces” y sobre la apreciación de Bolaños de que se ha decidido de manera breve, Del Barco insiste en que “las medidas cautelares tienen ese carácter urgente.” Además, rechaza las acusaciones de golpismo y recalca que “no es un golpe, es una resolución del Tribunal Constitucional.” Escuchar audio

What if a customer tells you they are going to reduce what they pay you for the work you just delivered to them because you owe them to fix for a bad job you did on an earlier contract? If you are on the accrual basis, can you reduce your accrued receivable or record an expense if you are disputing that claim? That is the issue being dealt with this week in the case of Trinity Industries v. Commissioner, 132 TC No. 2.The written materials can be downloaded at http://www.edzollars.com/2009-02-02_Timing.pdf .The podcast is sponsored by Leimberg Information Services, located on the web at http://www.leimbergservices.com .

This PodCast reviews the step transaction doctrine and where the line is drawn when we deal with the application of the step transaction doctrine in the formation of a family limited partnership. The IRS attempted to use their victory in the Senda case to get the same result in Holman v. Commissioner, 130 TC No. 12. But in an opinion that reminds us of the importance of the facts of the specific case in question, the Tax Court refused to take that step.

This week we look at recent cases where the IRS lost a statute of limations case. In the case of Bakersfield Energy Partners, LP, 128 TC No. 17, the question was whether an overstatement of basis used in computing a Section 1231 gain could result in omission from gross income that triggers the six year statute of limitations under §6629 and §6501.

When Section 6501(c) refers to a false and fraudulent return, does the IRS need to show that the taxpayer was involved in the fraud to get the benefit of the unlimited statute of limitations to assess tax? Or is it enough to show only that the preparer was involved in preparing a false return with the intent to evade tax on behalf of the taxpayer? That's the issue the Tax Court considered in the case of Allen v. Commissioner, 128 TC No. 4.The supporting materials for this podcast can be downloaded from http://edzollars.com/2007-03-10_Preparer_Fraud.pdf .The podcast is sponsored by Leimberg Information Services, located on the web at http://www.leimbergservices.com .

This Podcast is about the GST. The Tax Court reasserted its previously stated position on the treatment of the GST grandfathering provision for trusts in existence on September 25, 1985 when a party holds a general power of appointment under that trust. It held that the IRS final regulations that treat such a power as removing the trust transfers from the protection of the grandfathering provisions are valid, despite cases decided by the Eighth and Ninth Circuit where it was held the plain language of the grandfathering provisions meant that such powers were to be ignored for this purpose. The Tax Court and the Second Circuit had previously held such a position to be a valid interpretation of the law. Now it appears the Sixth Circuit, which has not yet been heard on this matter, will gets its say in the Gerson Estate case (127 TC No. 11).

Is a distribution made to a surviving spouse that was rolled to her IRA but can be traced to her deceased spouse's IRA account eligible for the death benefit exception to Section 72(t)? Considering a nearly $100,000 penalty was on the table, the taxpayer in the case of Gee v. Commissioner (127 TC No. 1) certainly hoped the Tax Court would answer yes. Unfortunately for her, the Tax Court answered in the negative. We look at the facts of her case, as well as the whole question of whether a surviving spouse should elect to treat an IRA as his/her own or take it as a beneficiary.The materials can be downloaded at http://www.edzollars.com/2006-07-29_IRA_Spouse.pdf .The podcast is sponsored by Leimberg Information Services (who had an email newsletter on this topic earlier this week), located on the web at http://www.leimbergservices.com .

The Tax Court looked at the interaction of the $3,000 capital loss limitation and the alternative minimum tax basis adjustment on the sale of shares originally obtained via the exercise of incentive stock options in a prior year. The case in question is Merlo v. Commissioner, 126 TC No. 10.In the case at hand, a taxpayer had exercised stock options at the end of $2,000 and obtained his stock at a price that was more than $1,000,000 less than the market price at the time. Under the rules for ISOs, that fair market value spread was not taxable for regular income tax purposes, but was taxable for AMT purposes, generating a substantial AMT liability.However, things did not go well for the stock in 2001 and, by year end, Mr. Merlo's stock was worthless. The Tax Court considered whether, when Mr. Merlo disposed of his stock, he could take the full basis differential against alternative minimum taxable income in 2001 and generate an AMT net operating loss to carry back to 2000 to recoup much or all of his AMT liability in that year. Their answer was not the one Mr. Merlo wanted.The materials can be downloaded at http://edzollars.com/2006-05-06_AMT_Capital_Loss.pdf.This week we're adding some theme music, music licensed from www.podcastthemes.com.The podcast is sponsored by Leimberg Information Services, found on the web at http://www.leimbergservice.com.
