Benchmarks
- TaxProf Blog (
http://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_blog/ ): Favorite opening of the week: “Tax practice is like comedy. Timing is critical.” Of all the corners citizens must round squarely when interacting with government, the timing requirements in the Internal Revenue Code contain some of the squarest and sharpest. Did the Supreme Court’s decision in Boechler v. Commissioner sand down some of those corners? - HBK (
https://hbkcpa.com/insights/ ): The Tax Court’s recent decision in Kaleb J. Pierce v. Commissioner provides guidance for valuing closely held business interests in the context of gift tax planning — and IRS scrutiny. - Taxnotes (
https://www.taxnotes.com/procedurally-taxing ): To remedy an “asymmetric information gap,” this series provides a guide to each Tax Court judge. First is Judge Patrick J. Urda, and reader input is sought for future profiles. No pejorative comments, please, but there is great interest in comments about specific practices.
