Another case where a taxpayer unsuccessfully tried to exclude a settlement from income under iRC §104(a)(2). That requires showing the compensation was for physical injuries, but neither the agreement nor the claim indicated injuries were the basis for the damages claimed or awarded. #TaxTwitter #Taxodon #TaxMastodon https://www.taxnotes.com/research/federal/court-documents/court-opinions-and-orders/payment-to-settle-retaliation-claim-not-excludable-from-income/7fdp0

Remember that the tax benefit exists solely on the US federal return, and that IRS Notice provides the basic rules.

Looking at the Tax Court's decision on applying the APA to adding listed transactions to §6707A and musings on impact of the election on tax legislation. #TaxToot #TaxMastodon https://www.currentfederaltaxdevelopments.com/podcasts/2022/11/13/2022-11-14-impacts-of-the-election-on-tax

So far I'm not seeing a lot of enthusiasm for the IRS domestic partnership exception from filing Schedules K-1 and K-2 among those I'm talking with. I do wonder how much time it's going to take to handle partner questions for those the CPA doesn't prepare the return for. #TaxToot #TaxMastodon

I'll be off to Seattle for Thursday, giving sessions on basis issues, one on partnerships and the other on S Corporation for the Washington Society of CPAs. US federal passthrough tax law is so much fun... #TaxMastodon

Today I give an hour presentation on Arizona's Passthrough Entity Tax at the Arizona Society of CPA's Converge 2022 conference. Tomorrow I do the annual tax update for them. #TaxMastodon
