October Tax Decisions... [ read ]

This blog post summarizes a few noteworthy court decisions released last month that pertain to federal tax matters.

January 3, 2018

Tax Court Determines that IRS Must Obtain Written Penalty Approval under I.R.C. Section 6751(b) to Assert Penalties against Taxpayers.... [ read ]

On December 20, the Tax Court issued a supplemental opinion in Graev v. Commissioner, in which it reversed its prior position on I.R.C. Section 6751(b) and agreed with the Second Circuit's decision in Chai v. Commissioner. In Chai, the Second Circuit held that Section 6751(b)(1) requires the IRS to obtain written supervisory approval of an initial penalty determination no later than the date the IRS issues the notice of deficiency or files an answer asserting the penalty. A previous blog post discussed the Chai decision and its impact on pending Tax Court cases.

Circumventing the Nexus Requirement: Colorado Law Imposing Sales Tax Obligations on Out-of-State Retailers is Upheld... [ read ]

On December 12, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the petition for certiorari in Direct Marketing Association v. Brohl (Direct Marketing). As a result, the Tenth Circuit's earlier decision in Direct Marketing will stand. In Direct Marketing, 814 F.3d 1129 (10th Cir. Feb. 22, 2016), the Tenth Circuit upheld a Colorado law requiring out-of-state retailers with no physical presence in Colorado to either voluntarily collect sales tax or comply with substantial notice and reporting requirements. At least arguably, the Colorado statute at issue represents yet another attempt by a state to circumvent the physical presence requirement imposed by the U.S. Supreme Court on a state's ability to impose its tax collection obligations on an out-of-state entity.
