Taxpayer Case Study

604 Words3 Pages

Dear Mr. Gaylord Bigmoney: Thank you for contacting me to review your investments and for advice on whether or not to purchase additional state and municipal bonds. Mr. Rich Broker has given you a couple recommendations about your investment portfolio. First, Mr. Broker has recommended that you take the cash presently invested in the Certificates of Deposits and purchase more state and municipal bonds. Second, Mr. Broker has recommended that you borrow an additional $800,000 on one of the unencumbered apartment houses, which would require you to give a Deed of Trust for security on the loan, and use the loan proceeds to purchase more state and municipal bonds. When Mr. Broker gave you these recommendations the rates were as follows: present …show more content…

In looking at Bishop v. Commissioner 342 F.2d 757, this case is similar to your current situation. In this case the taxpayer, Bishop, borrowed some money from The Society for Savings using collateral securities that were not tax-exempt obligations. Bishop later transferred all her investments for real property, while at the same time she borrowed additional money from a trust company. The taxpayer then used all the proceeds from the new loan to repay the prior loan. The Commissioner in this case ruled that the indebtedness was not incurred to purchase tax-exempt obligations. The indebtedness was not paid off when the tax-exempt obligations were purchased, but were continued to purchase tax-exempt obligations. Therefore the interest was not deductible under I.R.C §265(a)(2). The Bishop v. Commissioner 342 F.2d 757 case relates to your situation due to the fact that Mr. Broker wants you to use the money invested in the Certificate of Deposit to purchase tax-exempt municipal bonds. If you decide to take Mr. Brokers advise you will be faced with a situation similar to the taxpayer, Bishop, in the case that you are continuing the indebtedness to purchase state and municipal bonds which leads me to believe that court would disallow

  • P. L. 86-272 Case Study

    404 Words  | 2 Pages

    We’ll start with the use of sales representatives and how this relates to potential tax liability. P.L. 86-272 allows the use of sales representatives relating to interstate commerce without generating any net income tax related to tangible personal property within certain restrictions. For the sale to be protected under P.L. 86-272, the work of the sales representatives must be limited to solicitation- a mere “implicit invitation to an order” or “activities that are entirely ancillary to request for an order”. In Wisconsin Department of Revenue V. William Wrigley Jr. Co., the United States Supreme Court emphasized the nature of activities that would be considered ancillary under P.L. 86-272, “Solicitation of orders covers only the actual requests for purchases, or, at most, the actions absolutely essential to making those requests”. The operations of your sales force seem to be following this model where 1) they do not have the authority to accept any orders, and 2) they send the orders back to Ely, MN for them to be accepted and shipped.

    A 6-3 vote in favor of New Jersey was all it took to strike down TLO’s request to suppress the evidence as well as her confession. In previous cases, courts have ruled that school officials were exempt from the restrictions put in place due to their need to enforce authority over their students. The Supreme Court decided that in this case, the exclusionary clause would apply to school officials. This means that because they’re school officials, they don’t have to have as many means to perform a search on the students because students should have a decreased expectation of privacy. Their decision meant that the evidence found in TLO’s purse along with her confession had to reason to be excluded because her 4th Amendment rights were not violated.

However, ACA adoption and has put more than 169 million employees at risk for losing their workplace coverage. Several studies indicate employer-based coverage will decline rapidly over the next decade as the traditional US system is displaced by the healthcare exchange system. While consumers grapple with finding affordable coverage options and providers adjust to the new norms, there is another wrinkle in the mix. In January, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell announced the agency's push toward value-based and alternative reimbursement models.
