Introduction This research project aims at determining IRS position with respect to a petitioner's income tax returns and its relation to the annuity contract. An annuity is made through an insurance company and designed to last the entire lifetime of an individual. The amount payable to the beneficiaries is intended to convert the specific sum of money in terms of periodic payments. The payments are guaranteed for the lifetime or longer of the individual. Relying on the background of the context, IRS has specifically outlined the provisions for periodic payment and taxable portions of the annuity contract. Under this context, gross income is exclusive of any amount receivable as annuities under the annuity contract. The regular payment depends …show more content…
Thus, she is under obligation to integrate $50,000 in her gross income. Besides, she should be permitted a tax loss so as to balance her economic income and taxable income. Her father's fraudulent act gives rise to a claim against the father. The client is entitled to claim a loss on her tax return in an instance where her father is convicted, and the client cannot recover the $400,000.
Analysis
In general, IRS's position outlined in a notice to include the $50,000 is alleged to be correct. Therefore, my client bears the burden of disclosing that IRS's position is wrong. The ruling in Welch v. Helvering provides that the burden of proof shifts to the administrator in certain circumstances. However, in this context, my client bears the burden of proof. Unreported

According to section 165 (a), there is a precedent deduction for "any loss" that is sustained for a taxable year or any loss that insurance company or otherwise fails to compensate. Section 165 (e) stipulates that a loss arising from her father's fraudulent act is considered to be sustained during the taxable year in which my client discovered such loss. Reed v. Commissioner concluded that if in the year of discovery that there is an allegation for compensation that has an evenhanded prospect for recovery, a theft loss will not be taken into account as sustained until that tax year when it will be ascertained with reasonable certainty. Filing a lawsuit against her father with an aim of recovering the purported loss brings about an interpretation that my client has such claim. The father’s fraudulent act led to an intentional misrepresentation with intent to gain a financial

The tax courts provide us with a number of scenarios similar to the one faced by Adrian. In Kuhler v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue 18 T.C. 31 (1952) a taxpayer received a commission check on the evening of December 31, 1946, past banking hours, and reported its amount
2. Facts: Plaintiff Irene George (P) is filing suit against Defendant Jordan Marsh Co. (D) for mental anguish and emotional distress which resulted in two heart attacks. D sold goods on credit to P’s emancipated son, who purchased them on P’s account. D alleged that P stated in writing that she would pay the debts (which she did not incur), even though it is understood that P did not make this guarantee. D then attempted to intimidate P into paying these debts she did not owe by calling her at late hours, by mailing her bills, by sending her letters stating late charges were being added on and that her credit had been revoked, and by numerous other tactics. P suffered great
The company has been engaged in a dispute over a long-standing litigation with W Inc. The dispute involves a specific patent infringement matter. In May 2007, W Inc. filed a claim against the company for patent infringement and management determined that a loss was probable and estimated it would be between $15 million and $20 million, with $17 million being the most likely amount of loss within the estimated range (December 31, 2007).

Conclusion: Thanks to the landmark case, Marrita Murphy and Daniel J. Leveille, Appellants v. Internal Revenue Service and United States of America, Appellees, there is now no misunderstanding that awards received for damages to personal and professional reputation and mental suffering are included in gross income and are therefore taxable under 26 U.S.C. § 104(a)(2). This determines that because Murray did not suffer personal physical injuries and since gross income as defined by Code Sec. 61 includes compensatory damages for nonphysical injuries, such as those awarded to Murray, his award is in fact taxable [2007-2 U.S.T.C. ¶50,531, (Jul. 3, 2007)].
Now, let's talk about the charitable gift annuity. A charitable gift annuity is a simple contract between the donor and the charity. In exchange for the donor's irrevocable gift of cash, securities, or other assets, the charity agrees to pay one or two annuitants that the donor has named a fixed sum each year for life. The payments are backed by the general resources of the charity. The older their designated annuitants are at the time of the gift, the greater the fixed payment charity can agree to pay. In most cases, part of each payment is tax free, increasing each payment after tax value. If the donor gives appreciated property, the donor will pay capital gains tax on only part of the appreciation. In addition, if the donor names themselves as the first or only annuitant, the capital gains tax will be spread over many years rather than all due in the year of their gift.
