In 2013 Marianne sold land, building and equipment with a combined basis of $150,000 to an unrelated third party and in return received an installment note of $80,000 per year for five years. Of the $250,000 gain on sale, $150,000 was classified as Section 1245 gain and the remaining $100,000 was Section 1231 gain. In 2013, Marianne had a capital loss carryover of $60,000, $50,000 of which she used to offset her Section 1231 gain; she recognized no Section 1245 gain.

Code Summary: Code Section 7525 discusses the rights of confidentiality that a taxpayer would have between his or her tax practitioner that is a federally authorized tax practitioner. In order to be a federally authorized tax practitioner, the practitioner must be authorized to practice before the Internal Revenue Service. The code section states that the communication between the taxpayer and the tax practitioner with respect to tax advice is protected under the same confidentiality protections that would exist between a taxpayer and an attorney. Some exceptions to this confidentiality do exist however. A taxpayer and tax practitioner are not protected if the details of the communication involve tax shelters, which is an investment strategy

AU Section 316 of Statement of Accounting Standards (SAS) No. 99 discusses what things an auditor should consider regarding fraud as part of an audit engagement. As part of this, AU §316.19a states “make inquiries of management and others within the entity to obtain their view about the risks of fraud and how they are addressed”, or interview those in positions to have knowledge about how various items are reported as part of an entity’s financial statements and corresponding disclosures. But are accounting programs providing graduates with the classroom content and experiential experiences to develop the interviewing skills necessary for success in the accounting profession? Currently, with rare exception, it does not appear so.

Justice Antonin Scalia practiced law at the law offices of Jones, Day, Cockley, and Reavis in Cleveland, Ohio for six years, but he later decided to teach law rather than practice it, and in 1967 he became a professor of Law at the University of Virginia.

After his short career in public service, Nino took other positions in different conservative organizations and became professor of law at the University

The IRS addresses the topic of capital assets in Section 1221 (Legal Information Institute). Within this section, rather than defining what qualifies as a capital asset, The Code lists items that are not capital assets. This backwards approach has led to a grey area in regards to what classifies as a capital assets. As a result, many court cases have been on this topic. Once it is determined whether an asset is “capital in nature”, the various tax treatments can be considered. Specifically, capital assets sold at a gain that are held for less than one year at the time of sale will be classified as a short term gain (Investopedia, 2015). Short term capital gains can be used to offset short term capital losses for both individuals and corporations, however any excess short term capital gains will be taxed at the taxpayer’s regular tax rate. In addition, long-term capital gains experienced by a corporation are not subject to the more favorable capital gains rate. Also, when
