エピソード
  • Episode 6 - Gregory v. Helvering
    2025/01/09

    Our first landmark court case to review: the Business Purpose Doctrine.

    Gregory set up a separate company and shifted assets just to avoid tax. This case is commonly referenced in tax court cases dealing with entity and transaction structuring.

    We also run through other types of "grey areas" like sale-leasebacks, contingent liability planning, and TICs.

  • Episode 5 - Hutcheson v. Commissioner
    2025/01/02

    A retirement plan fiduciary embezzles $5 million of other people's retirement assets.

    He wastes it on home renovations, cars, Costco trips, and trying to buy a golf course.

    He gets convicted of wire fraud and sentenced to jail - but now has a $3.7 million tax bill he is fighting.

    We cover the backstory and what kind of income is taxable and not.

  • Episode 4 - Witasick v. Commissioner
    2024/12/26

    Deducting $1 million in renovations on a 15k sqft second home - what could go wrong?

    A lot. Witasick was an attorney who mostly served Arizona clients. He bought this 56 acre monster home and for two years renovated it - while deducting a majority of the costs as business expenses.

    The Court called it fraud and he served jail time. We dig into repair and maintenance, business / personal use, and unreimbursed partner expenses.
