Aron Katz (Taxpayer) was a partner in a number of partnerships that suffered substantial losses during a year in which he filed for bankruptcy. The question before us is whether the Commissioner of Internal Revenue can challenge that allocation in a proceeding involving only the Taxpayer. We hold that a partnership level proceeding is necessary.
  1. Background

Taxpayer's partnerships did not do well in 1990. Although he could have elected to bifurcate his 1990 tax year into two short years. The remaining partnerships of which Taxpayer was a member did not distinguish between pre petition and post petition items in the K 1 forms they prepared. Are not subject to the federal income tax.

The bankruptcy court ruled that the payments were property of the estate under § 541(a)(1) but not under (a)(6). The district court ruled that the payment was not property of the bankruptcy estate under either subsection of § 541. This is the trustee's appeal from that ruling. I.

Is amended as follows: On page 8. Wheatley and Gordon & Wise were on briefs for defendants. Hall & Stewart were on briefs for appellees. At issue in this case are two different appeals. Which we have consolidated. Whose source is a lawsuit over unpaid bank loans. The background facts are largely undisputed. The borrowers were licensees or had other ownership interests in radio stations in various cities. Fleet concluded that the borrowers were in default and brought suit in two different federal district courts to collect upon different notes made or guaranteed by the borrowers. The borrowers were required by that date either to have made a down payment of $6.4 million or to have in force purchase agreements with third parties obligating the latter to buy stations from the borrowers for that amount or more. The precise terms of the settlement agreement and other pertinent facts are set forth below. Giddens had an extensive background in appraising and selling radio stations and was a partner in a brokerage firm.

Was denied. A. The relevant facts underlying this claim are undisputed and fully detailed in the district court's opinion. DRI's gross income from its electric utility business is a function of the electricity rates it charges its customers. Many public utilities have established similar reserve accounts to meet deferred income tax liability. They may have received similar compensation from the utility serving their new residence or business). The remittance was allocated on the basis of the 1991 customers' electricity use during the preceding 12 months. The issue here is whether DRI is entitled to invoke § 1341 to obtain from the government an additional $1.2 million deduction. It was determined that the taxpayer was not entitled to the income. His only option was to deduct the amount of that income in the year of repayment he could not recalculate his income for the year of receipt. § 1341 is designed to put the taxpayer in essentially the same position he would have been in had he never received the returned income.

She thought that she was Cameron's common law wife but neither New York nor New Jersey. IRS contends it was entitled to the settlement funds by virtue of tax liens arising out of taxes assessed against Cameron and Freck on income attributable to Cameron for tax years 1978. That it was entitled to credit the payment first to interest and principal for the earliest years or in the manner most advantageous to the government. The district court concluded that Freck could not qualify for relief from the assessment under 26 U.S.C.A. § 6013(e)(1) (West Supp. 1994) as an innocent spouse because she was never married to Cameron. It then accepted IRS's argument that she was equitably estopped from asserting she was not liable for taxes on Cameron's income because of IRS's reliance on her innocent misrepresentation that Freck was Cameron's wife in giving him the benefit of the lower joint rates he was not entitled to as a single person during taxable years now closed. Freck contends the settlement funds were paid to IRS by her adversary's counsel without her knowledge and that she had no opportunity to tell IRS how to apply them.

264 OPINION/ORDER
The bankruptcy court concluded that the pre petition application of the right to the tax refund was an asset as of the petition date. The facts are not in dispute. The Debtors overpaid their 2001 federal and state income tax returns and were entitled to tax refunds as a result of the overpayments. This was not done. Arguing that the Debtors' interest in the tax overpayments was property of the bankruptcy estate pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 541 that must be turned over to the Trustee under section 542. They were no longer entitled to a tax refund. The Debtors argue that their prebankruptcy application of their tax overpayment to the subsequent year's tax obligation was not property of their bankruptcy estate. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. The bankruptcy court's conclusions of law are reviewed de novo. Unless such property is of inconsequential value or benefit to the estate. 11 U.S.C. § 542(a). They would have been entitled to a tax refund of over $280.

262 OPINION/ORDER
Circuit Judge: The issue in this case is the effect of a conversion from Chapter 11 to Chapter 13 bankruptcy proceedings on the priority status of a postpetition. They stated that they no longer operated their long term care facility and were now employed by others. To reflect additional interest and penalties which had accrued while the estate was still proceeding under Chapter 11. The bankruptcy court agreed and held that a tax claim filed during the pendency of a Chapter 13 petition must be prioritized as if the claim had arisen prepetition because § 1305(b) states that claims for taxes filed under § 1305(a) are allowed or disalUnless otherwise indicated. The bankruptcy court noted that filing a proof of claim under § 1305 is voluntary. Therefore the IRS could have avoided application of § 1305 by not filing a claim after the conversion. The district court found that § 348(d) is the only section that addresses the issue of administrative expenses in a conversion from one Chapter to another and that § 1305 did not apply.

These cases were consolidated for purposes of oral argument on appeal. The appeal in each case is from an order of the bankruptcy court filed September 24. This matter was originally submitted after oral argument on February 8. The findings have been made and the matter was reargued on March 2. STANDARD OF REVIEW The findings of fact are uncontested and no review thereof is sought by the parties. Conclusions of law are reviewed de novo. A bankruptcy court's denial of a claim of exemption is a final. The attorney for the debtor is holding the refunds pending a final judgment. Which were estimated in the total amount of $2. The attorneys for the debtors are holding the original refunds pending a final judgment. The debtors filed an amended Schedule C claiming that all of the 2003 tax refunds are exempt pursuant to Missouri statutes. That a debtor's anticipated tax refund is not exempt. The court therefore sustained the Trustee's objection to exemptions and ordered turnover to the Trustee. 3 DISCUSSION Each of the debtors claimed that the federal and state tax refunds were exempt under Missouri law.

We will reverse the order of the District Court and remand for proceedings consistent with this opinion. Overview of Affected Parties The underlying matter in this appeal is an accounting malpractice action. The Trustee's principal allegation is that Price Waterhouse erroneously reported in its audit that accrued interest on Litigation Trust accounts belonged to the debtor rather than to the Litigation Trust. Underlying this claim was a suit between the Litigation Trust and the debtor. Price Waterhouse's erroneous reports were relied on by the bankruptcy court to the Litigation Trust's detriment. Is not a party to the malpractice action. The Trustee alleges the debtor's estate would still be affected by the malpractice suit because the Litigation Trust is effectively a continuation of the bankruptcy estate. Who were former creditors of the debtor's estate. Is not a continuation of the bankruptcy estate for jurisdictional purposes. Price Waterhouse contends the debtor is only tangentially affected by this malpractice action after it assigned away its interests in the litigation claims.

We have jurisdiction over this appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 158(d) and 1229. We reverse because we conclude that the transfer at issue in this case was necessary to the consummation of a confirmed Chapter 11 plan. Berkshire Mortgage Finance Corporation was the only lender willing to advance the debtors $23.5 million before August 31. Kissimmee's hotel was not subject to the RCAP mortgage. It was under no obligation to refinance its hotel at the time. In pertinent part: 3 Berkshire's willingness to make the loan to [the debtors] is contingent upon Kissimmee Lodge's agreement to refinance its hotel through Berkshire. Berkshire will not provide any financing to [the debtors] unless Kissimmee Lodge refinances through Berkshire. The Kissimmee Lodge refinancing therefore is incident to an a condition precedent to the reorganization of [the debtors] and that refinancing therefore is exempt from Florida documentary stamp taxes. The FDOR argued that the plan failed to comply with 11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(1)1 because the § 1146(c) exemption the proposed plan conferred on the Kissimmee transaction was not available as a matter of law to non debtor entities.

ISSUE The issue on appeal is whether the Debtor's 1040 Forms filed after the Internal Revenue Service had assessed the tax liabilities qualify as returns for purposes of dischargeability under 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(1)(B)(i). The bankruptcy court entered summary judgment in favor of the Debtor determining that the 1040 Forms qualified as returns and that the Debtor's tax obligation was not excepted from discharge under 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(1)(B)(i). Assessed the tax liabilities did not qualify as returns under 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(1)(B)(i) and that therefore the taxes were excepted from discharge. The court concluded that the 1040 Forms were returns for purposes of 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(1)(B)(i). The court entered its order denying the United States' motion for summary judgment and determining that the Debtor's tax liabilities for tax years 1992 through 1996 were discharged. The United States appealed that order. 3 STANDARD OF REVIEW The facts are not in dispute.

Spalding were on brief for petitioner.

246 OPINION/ORDER
The facts are undisputed and were fully recited by the district court in this case. His will created a residuary trust for the benefit of his wife and children. The Government acknowledged the residuary trust should have been taxed with the G.A. It was not because of the estate's QTIP election. The Government conceded the sons were entitled to a refund plus interest. Argued the amount of the refund should be offset by a proportionate amount of the tax that should have been paid on the trust by G.A. The district court* analyzed the elements of equitable recoupment and concluded they were satisfied. Limited the amount recouped to the tax burden that would have been borne by the plaintiffs if the improper QTIP election had not been made and the tax had been imposed in a timely manner. Agreed with the parties that the tax code's general rule is that interest is paid on tax unpaid on or before the due date. That none of the Code provisions directly address whether interest is due in the equitable recoupment context.

Nor was it asked to make. We conclude that the Tax Court's order is not a final decision and that we lack jurisdiction over the Giants' appeal under section 7482(a)(1). Built in gain is measured by the appreciation of the asset that accrued prior to conversion to an S corporation. The IRS argued that its own Notice of Deficiency as to those years was invalid because the built in gains tax liability had to be determined in a unified audit proceeding under I.R.C. §§ 6241 45. The Tax Court agreed with the IRS that the built in gains tax liability for FYEs 1996 and 1997 were subject to unified audit procedures. The petition with respect to FYE 1998 was not affected because the statutes establishing the unified procedures were repealed. The Giants' petition with respect to FYE 1998 is presently before the Tax Court. Reserving its contention that the dismissal was a final and immediately appealable judgment. Concluding that

We have jurisdiction over this appeal 1 The Honorable James G. ISSUE The issues on appeal are whether: (1) the bankruptcy court improperly asserted jurisdiction to order disgorgement of the fees paid to the Attorney for services allegedly performed for the debtor. (3) the conclusion that the disgorged fees should be returned to the estate was appropriate as a matter of law. The deed transferring the Illinois property to the third party was recorded in Illinois. The bill stated that it was for past. The Debtor's schedules show that his only major asset was the $102. The Attorney testified that because the first two checks were for attorneys' fees. He represented that the reason he did not disburse his attorneys' fees directly to himself from his attorney trust account was to make sure he left a

The United States instituted an adversary proceeding against Gardner in the bankruptcy court by filing a complaint seeking a determination that his unpaid tax liabilities for 1990 and 1991 were excepted from discharge in bankruptcy under § 523(a)(1)(C) of the Code. The bankruptcy court determined the liabilities were excepted from discharge under that provision because appellant had willfully attempted to evade or defeat those liabilities. He was a partner in the law firm of Gardner. Gardner assured Thomas he was working on several cases that could settle within the following months for which his personal fees would be sufficient to satisfy the tax obligations. Except now one bank account reflected a zero balance and the other disclosed that it was overdrawn. Debtor also testified that he was aware of his obligation to pay his 1990 and 1991 federal income taxes. That he could have used some of the income he earned between 1990 and 1996 to pay those taxes. Thomas also testified that he would not have considered debtor's original offer in compromise to be bona fide had he known.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. Although Hunt is not entitled to interest under the applicable statute. The district court held that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) was equitably estopped from denying payment of interest on the 1982 refund. A claimant may not use equitable estoppel to require the Government to make payments out of the Federal Treasury that are not authorized by statute. A decision was filed in the Tax Court on December 20. The Tax Court decision did not mention the 1982 tax year at all and did not incorporate Hunt's draft settlement language.2 After the Tax Court decision was entered. Hunt contacted the IRS to find out why he had not received the refund for the 1982 tax year and was advised to file an amended return for 1982 to claim the NOL carryback. Hunt made further inquiries with the IRS to determine why his refund was not the We note that because Hunt did not receive a notice of deficiency with respect to the 1982 tax year. The Tax Court did not have jurisdiction over that tax year.

The binding aspect of an earlier case is found in the actual disposition of the case given its particular essential facts. The power of precedent chiefly is to assure that like cases have like results. Cases that are not essentially alike can rightly have different results. Because Taxpayers' claims for refunds were not timely. Who are husband and wife. These amounts were sent to the IRS: $5. The returns showed that the Dantzlers' liability was less than the remittances the Dantzlers had made in connection with the corresponding extension requests. The IRS later notified the Dantzlers that it had disallowed their refund claims because the claims were barred by the statute of limitations.

The Dantzlers brought this action seeking a refund for the years 1985. We conclude that the remittances were payments. The Dantzlers' refund claims are therefore time barred.

This case is before us on the bankruptcy Trustee's appeal from a ruling of the bankruptcy court that the Debtors. Were the beneficiaries of trusts with enforceable transfer restrictions such that their beneficial interests in those trusts were excluded from their bankruptcy estate under 11 U.S.C. § 541(c)(2). Because we conclude that the Debtors failed to carry their burdens of proof that they were beneficiaries of trusts within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 541(c)(2). I. ISSUES ON APPEAL The principal issue in this case is whether the bankruptcy court erred when it concluded that the Debtors' § 403(b) annuity plans constitute trusts within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 541(c)(2). The bankruptcy court's determination that the assets of these pension plans were excluded from the bankruptcy estate by operation of § 541(c)(2) is a conclusion of law which is reviewed de novo.

(Wallace) subsequent to the district court's affirmance of a bankruptcy court decision holding that the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS or United States) tax liens on the claim of Colstar Petroleum (Colstar) against ARC Energy Corporation (ARC) were superior to Wallace's judgment against Colstar (which arose from a default judgment). The company was required under a confirmed liquidation plan to pay $37. Wallace and the IRS are competing claimants and creditors of Colstar and both seek to enforce their claims by receiving Colstar's $37. The IRS included a letter stating that the notice of levy was not an accelerated demand for payment insofar as ARC was in bankruptcy. Notices of the liens were also filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court in Fairfax County. 797 is the amount claimed by both Wallace and the IRS. The United States filed a motion in bankruptcy court for summary judgment claiming that its tax liens were entitled to priority over competing creditors' claims to Colstar's funds.

His complaint was filed in the district court. The district court determined that it was required by statute to dismiss Lee's claim. The court did not find that the misstatements were a result of any bad faith on the part of Lee and. Lee then timely petitioned this court for rehearing and his petition was granted. Our review of the record leads us to conclude that it was an abuse of discretion to deny appellant the relief sought. A jury trial was set for February 14. Attached to defendant's motion were references to Lee's deposition testimony and deposition exhibits. Reminded Lee that the financial affidavit takes into account both incomes without regard to how the funds are divided. He was unemployed until the fall of 1997. He stated that he was employed as a substitute teacher in 1997 and earned $1200 per month. He reported that he was unemployed in 1998 but earned $600 in May 1999.

It is clear that Article 4 does not impose any obligations on the City.

Wayne Drewes was appointed as the Chapter 7 trustee. Nearly five months after his bankruptcy petition was filed. The Trustee and the Debtor entered into a stipulation of facts which was incorporated into both of the parties' appellate briefs. 2 3 ISSUE The issue on appeal is whether the MLAP and CDP payments received postpetition by the Debtor were or were not property of the bankruptcy estate.4 STANDARD OF REVIEW We review the findings of fact of the bankruptcy court for clear error and its legal determinations de novo. The determination of whether property constitutes property of the bankruptcy estate is a legal issue to be reviewed de novo.

The IRS's claims were properly disallowed because (1) the IRS cannot collect a partnership's tax deficiency directly from the partners without first making individualized assessments against the partners or obtaining judgments against the partners holding them jointly and severally liable for the partnership's tax debts. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND Debtors were general partners of Marina Cabrillo Partners (the Partnership). The IRS argues that its timely assessment of taxes against the Partnership allows it to collect taxes directly from the individual partners even though no separate assessment of tax liability was made against them. Only if the levy is made or the proceeding begun (1) within 10 years after the assessment of the tax[.]. So long as the IRS brings an action to collect the taxes within three years after the taxpayer's return was filed. </TD> </TR> <TR CLASS="swhit"> <TD CLASS="swrank"><IMG SRC="/usca/images/score-2.gif" ALT="202"></TD> <TD CLASS="swtitle"><A HREF="http://www.law.emory.edu/11circuit/july96/94-5211.opa_fn.html">OPINION/ORDER</A><BR> This document was created from RTF source by rtftohtml version 2.7.5 ></head><body><a name= </TD> </TR> <TR CLASS="swhit"> <TD CLASS="swrank"><IMG SRC="/usca/images/score-2.gif" ALT="202"></TD> <TD CLASS="swtitle"><A HREF="http://www.law.emory.edu/11circuit/nov98/97-9285.man.html">CAPITAL ASSET RESEARCH CORP.

The IRS alleged that he was involved in an abusive tax arrangement known as offshore employee leasing (OEL). Reiserer was an officer or director of several domestic leasing corporations involved in an OEL scheme. Under an OEL scheme a customer will terminate his current employment and enter into a contract with a foreign leasing corporation. The IRS published a notice stating that OEL schemes were abusive arrangements and persons involved could be subject to IRS investigation and possible liability. The case was referred to a magistrate judge. Who found: (1) the penalties under §§ 6700 and 6701 are not penal in nature and thus do not abate with death. Id. § 6701(a) & (b).

(1) This order and judgment is not binding precedent. Because the parties are familiar with the facts as set forth in the Tax Court's memorandum and opinion. Walford's deduction for losses in 1981 arising from the Sav Fuel investment was properly disallowed because the partnership did not have the requisite profit motive under 26 U.S.C. 183.(2) The court further found that Mr. Walford was liable for an addition to tax and increased interest. Walford does not argue that these penalties were erroneously assessed. We will consider only his arguments challenging the Tax Court's conclusion that the Sav Fuel partnership was not engaged in a profit making activity. We affirm.(3) Whether Sav Fuel was intended as a profit making venture is a question of fact that this court will not disturb unless clearly erroneous. A finding of fact is clearly erroneous only when. We are definitely and firmly convinced that a mistake has been made.

II [1] Boulware first claims that the district court erred in excluding evidence that he contends would have shown that the funds he took from HIE were nontaxable returns of capital rather than income. An essential element of the crime of tax evasion is the existence of a tax deficiency. That distribution is normally not taxable. 26 U.S.C. §§ 301. Boulware sought to show that the money he received from HIE constituted returns of the capital he had invested as the corporation was. We held that constructive distribution rules applicable in the civil arena could not be automatically applied to a criminal tax matter in the absence of some demonstration on the part of the defendant or corporation that distributions were intended to be a return of capital.
