The U.S. Tax Court lacks jurisdiction over a taxpayer’s appeal of a levy in a collection due process hearing when the IRS abandoned its levy because it applied the taxpayer’s later year overpayments to her earlier tax liability, eliminating the underpayment on which the levy was based. The 8-1 ruling by the Court resolves a split between the Third Circuit and the Fourth and D.C. Circuit.

The U.S. Tax Court lacks jurisdiction over a taxpayer’s appeal of a levy in a collection due process hearing when the IRS abandoned its levy because it applied the taxpayer’s later year overpayments to her earlier tax liability, eliminating the underpayment on which the levy was based. The 8-1 ruling by the Court resolves a split between the Third Circuit and the Fourth and D.C. Circuit.

The IRS determined that taxpayer had a tax liability for 2010 and began a levy procedure. The taxpayer appealed the levy in a collection due process hearing, and then appealed that adverse result in the Tax Court. The taxpayer asserted that she did not have an underpayment in 2010 because her then-husband had made $50,000 of estimated tax payments for 2010 with instructions that the amounts be applied to the taxpayer’s separate 2010 return. The IRS instead applied the payments to the husband’s separate account. While the agency and Tax Court proceedings were pending, the taxpayer filed several tax returns reflecting overpayments, which she wanted refunded to her. The IRS instead applied the taxpayer’s 2013-2016 and 2019 tax overpayments to her 2010 tax debt.

When the IRS had applied enough of the taxpayer’s later overpayments to extinguish her 2010 liability, the IRS moved to dismiss the Tax Court proceeding as moot, asserting that the Tax Court lacked jurisdiction because the IRS no longer had a basis to levy. The Tax Court agreed. The taxpayer appealed to the Third Circuit, which held for the taxpayer that the IRS’s abandonment of the levy did not moot the Tax Court proceedings. The IRS appealed to the Supreme Court, which reversed the Third Circuit.

The Court, in an opinion written by Justice Barrett in which seven other justices joined, held that the Tax Court, as a court of limited jurisdiction, only has jurisdiction under Code Sec. 6330(d)(1) to review a determination of an appeals officer in a collection due process hearing when the IRS is pursuing a levy. Once the IRS applied later overpayments to zero out the taxpayer’s liability and abandoned the levy process, the Tax Court no longer had jurisdiction over the case. Justice Gorsuch dissented, pointing out that the Court’s decision leaves the taxpayer without any resolution of the merits of her 2010 tax liability, and “hands the IRS a powerful new tool to avoid accountability for its mistakes in future cases like this one.”

The Internal Revenue Service collected more than $5.1 trillion in gross receipts in fiscal year 2024. It is the first time the agency broke the $5 trillion mark, according to the 2024 Data Book, an annual publication that reviews IRS activities for the given fiscal year.

The Internal Revenue Service collected more than $5.1 trillion in gross receipts in fiscal year 2024.

It is the first time the agency broke the $5 trillion mark, according to the 2024 Data Book, an annual publication that reviews IRS activities for the given fiscal year. It was an increase over the $4.7 trillion collected in the previous fiscal year.

Individual tax, employment taxes, and real estate and trust income taxes accounted for $4.4 trillion of the fiscal 2024 gross collections, with the balance of $565 billion coming from businesses. The agency issued $120.1 billion in refunds, including $117.6 billion in individual income tax refunds and $428.4 billion in refunds to businesses.

The 2024 Data Book broke out statistics from the pilot year of the Direct File program, noting that 423,450 taxpayers logged into Direct File, with 140,803 using the program, which allows users to prepare and file their tax returns through the IRS website, to have their tax returns filed and accepted by the agency. Of the returns filed, 72 percent received a refund, with approximately $90 million in refunds issued to Direct File users. The IRS had gross collections of nearly $35.3 million (24 percent of filers using Direct File). The rest had a return with a $0 balance due.

Among the data highlighted in this year’s publication were service level improvements.

"The past two filing seasons saw continued improvement in IRS levels of service—one the phone, in person, and online—thanks to the efforts of our workforce and our use of long-term resources provided by Congress," IRS Acting Commissioner Michael Faulkender wrote. "In FY 2024, our customer service representatives answered approximately 20 million live phone calls. At our Taxpayer Assistance Centers around the country, we had more than 2 million contacts, increasing the in-person help we provided to taxpayers nearly 26 percent compared to FY 2023."

On the compliance side, the IRS reported in the 2024 Data Book that for all returns filed for Tax Years 2014 through 2022, the agency "has examined 0.40 percent of individual returns filed and 0.66 percent of corporation returns filed, as of the end of fiscal year 2024."

This includes examination of 7.9 percent of taxpayers filing individual returns reporting total positive incomes of $10 million or more. The IRS collected $29.0 billion from the 505,514 audits that were closed in FY 2024.

The Treasury Department and IRS have issued Notice 2025-33, extending and modifying transition relief for brokers required to report digital asset transactions using Form 1099-DA, Digital Asset Proceeds From Broker Transactions. The notice builds upon the temporary relief previously provided in Notice 2024-56 and allows additional time for brokers to comply with reporting requirements.

The Treasury Department and IRS have issued Notice 2025-33, extending and modifying transition relief for brokers required to report digital asset transactions using Form 1099-DA, Digital Asset Proceeds From Broker Transactions. The notice builds upon the temporary relief previously provided in Notice 2024-56 and allows additional time for brokers to comply with reporting requirements.

Reporting Requirements and Transitional Relief

In 2024, final regulations were issued requiring brokers to report digital asset sale and exchange transactions on Form 1099-DA, furnish payee statements, and backup withhold on certain transactions beginning January 1, 2025. Notice 2024-56 provided general transitional relief, including limited relief from backup withholding for certain sales of digital assets during 2026 for brokers using the IRS’s TIN-matching system in place of certified TINs.

Additional Transition Relief from Backup Withholding, Customers Not Previously Classified as U.S. Persons

Under Notice 2025-33, transition relief from backup withholding tax liability and associated penalties is extended for any broker that fails to withhold and pay the backup withholding tax for any digital asset sale or exchange transaction effected during calendar year 2026.

Brokers will not be required to backup withhold for any digital asset sale or exchange transactions effected in 2027 when they verify customer information through the IRS Tax Information Number (TIN) Matching Program. To qualify, brokers must submit a customer's name and tax identification number to the matching service and receive confirmation that the information corresponds with IRS records.

Additionally, penalties that apply to brokers that fail to withhold and pay the full backup withholding due are limited with respect to any decrease in the value of received digital assets between the time of the transaction giving rise to the backup withholding obligation and the time the broker liquidates 24 percent of a customer’s received digital assets.

Finally, the notice also provides additional transition relief for brokers for sales of digital assets effected during calendar year 2027 for certain preexisting customers. This relief applies when brokers have not previously classified these customers as U.S. persons and the customer files contain only non-U.S. residence addresses.

Notice 2025-33

IR-2025-67

The IRS failed to establish that it issued a valid notice of deficiency to an individual under Code Sec. 6212(b). Thus, the Tax Court dismissed the case due to lack of jurisdiction.

The IRS failed to establish that it issued a valid notice of deficiency to an individual under Code Sec. 6212(b). Thus, the Tax Court dismissed the case due to lack of jurisdiction.

The taxpayer filed a petition to seek re-determination of a deficiency for the tax year at issue. The IRS moved to dismiss the petition under Code Sec. 6213(a), contending that it was untimely and that Code Sec. 7502’s "timely mailed, timely filed" rule did not apply. However, the Court determined that the notice of deficiency had not been properly addressed to the individual’s last known address.

Although the individual attached a copy of the notice to the petition, the Court found that the significant 400-day delay in filing did not demonstrate timely, actual receipt sufficient to cure the defect. Because the IRS could not establish that a valid notice was issued, the Court concluded that the 90-day deadline under Code Sec. 6213(a) was never triggered, and Code Sec. 7502 was inapplicable.

A limited partnership classified as a TEFRA partnership was not entitled to exclude its limited partners’ distributive shares from net earnings from self-employment under Code Sec. 1402(a)(13). The Tax Court found that the individuals materially participated in the partnership’s investment management business and were not acting as limited partners “as such.”

A limited partnership classified as a TEFRA partnership was not entitled to exclude its limited partners’ distributive shares from net earnings from self-employment under Code Sec. 1402(a)(13). The Tax Court found that the individuals materially participated in the partnership’s investment management business and were not acting as limited partners “as such.”

Furthermore, the Court concluded that the limited partners’ roles were indistinguishable from those of active general partners. Accordingly, their distributive shares were includible in net earnings from self-employment under Code Sec. 1402(a) and subject to tax under Code Sec. 1401. The taxpayer’s argument that the partners’ actions were authorized solely through the general partner was found unpersuasive. The Court emphasized substance over form and found that the partners’ conduct and economic relationship with the firm were determinative.

Additionally, the Court held that the taxpayer failed to meet the requirements under Code Sec. 7491(a) to shift the burden of proof because it did not establish compliance with substantiation and net worth requirements. Lastly, the Tax Court also upheld the IRS’s designation of the general partner LLC as the proper tax matters partner under Code Sec. 6231(a)(7)(B), finding that the attempted designation of a limited partner was invalid because an eligible general partner existed and had the legal authority to serve.

Soroban Capital Partners LP, TC Memo. 2025-52, Dec. 62,665(M)

Most homeowners have found that over the past five to ten years, real estate -especially the home in which they live-- has proven to be a great investment. When the 1997 Tax Law passed, most homeowners assumed that the eventual sale of their home would be tax free. At that time, Congress exempted from tax at least $250,000 of gain on the sale of a principal residence; $500,000 if a joint return was filed. Now, those exemption amounts, which are not adjusted for inflation, don't seem too generous for many homeowners.

What can be done?

Keeping lots of receipts is one answer! Remember, it will be the gain on your home that is potentially taxable, not full sale price. Gain is equal to net sales price minus an amount equal to the price you paid for your house (including mortgage debt) plus the cost of any improvements made over the years. Bottom line: If your residence has gain that will otherwise be taxed, you will get around 30 percent back on the cost of the improvements (assume your tax bracket is about 30 percent when you sell), simply by keeping good records of those improvements.

The basis of your personal residence is generally made up of three basic components: original cost, improvements, and certain other basis adjustments

How your home was acquired will need to be considered when determining its original cost basis.

Purchase or Construction. If you bought your home, your original cost basis will generally include the purchase price of the property and most settlement or closing costs you paid. If you or someone else constructed your home, your basis in the home would be your basis in the land plus the amount you paid to have the home built, including any settlement and closing costs incurred to acquire the land or secure a loan.

Gift. If you acquired your home as a gift, your basis will be the same as it would be in the hands of the donor at the time it was given to you.

Inheritance. If you inherited your home, your basis is the fair market value on the date of the deceased's death or on the "alternate valuation" date, as indicated on the federal estate tax return filed for the deceased.

Divorce. If your home was transferred to you from your ex-spouse incident to your divorce, your basis is the same as the ex-spouse's adjusted basis just before the transfer took place.

If you've been in your home any length of time, you most likely have made some home improvements. These improvements will generally increase your home's basis and therefore decrease any potential gain on the sale of your residence. Before you increase your basis for any home improvements, though, you will need to determine which expenditures can actually be considered improvements versus repairs.

An improvement materially adds to the value of your home, considerably prolongs its useful life, or adapts it to new uses. The cost of any improvements cannot be deducted and must be added to the basis of your home. Examples of improvements include putting room additions, putting up a fence, putting in new plumbing or wiring, installing a new roof, and resurfacing your patio. It doesn't need to be a big project, however, just relatively permanent. For example, putting in a skylight or a new kitchen sink qualifies.

Repairs, on the other hand, are expenses that are incurred to keep the property in a generally efficient operating condition and do not add value or extend the life of the property. For a personal residence, these costs do not add to the basis of the home. Examples of repairs are painting, mending drywall, and fixing a minor plumbing problem.

Additional items that will increase your basis include expenditures for restoring damaged property and assessing local improvements. Some common decreases to your home's basis are:

• Insurance reimbursements for casualty losses.
• Deductible casualty losses that aren't covered by insurance.
• Payments received for easement or right-of-way granted.
• Deferred gain(s) on previous home sales before 1998.
• Depreciation claimed after May 6, 1997 if you used your home for business or rental purposes.

In order to document your home's basis, it is wise to keep the records that substantiate the basis of your residence such as settlement statements, receipts, canceled checks, and other records for all improvements you made. Good records can make your life a lot easier if the IRS ever questions your gain calculation. You should keep these records for as long as you own the home. Once you sell the home, keep the records until the statute of limitations expires (generally three years after the date on which the return was filed reporting the sale).

Saving money, whether for retirement, education, travel, or any reason, requires a lot of self-discipline. If you're like most people, the thought of saving money conjures up visions of endless budgeting. All those hours of budgeting take away from scarce free time. One method of saving is relatively painless...at least, once you have the money to save. It's often described as the magic of compound interest.

Compound interest is interest earned on interest. The trick is to keep your money in an account paying compound interest for as long as possible. The longer interest is earned on top of interest, the better for you.

Compound interest is different from simple interest. Let's say you invest $10,000 at two percent interest paid annually. At the end of one year, you will have earned $200 in interest for a total of $10,200. Simple interest calculates interest only on the principal, the $10,000 you invested. Compound interest, on the other hand, calculates interest on the principal and previously paid interest. The more often interest is compounded, or added to your account, the more you earn.

If you keep that same $10,000 in an account that pays compound interest, it will grow over time because of interest you earn on interest. Interest may be compounded daily, monthly, quarterly, or annually. Here's an example:

Investment return by year:

In this example, the yearly compounding interest rate is two percent. The quarterly rate is 2.015%, the monthly rate is 2.018% and the daily rate is 2.020%.

Of course, if you are earning interest you will need to pay income tax on it each year unless it is earned in a tax-favored savings vehicle such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. You'll want to figure in which type of account you want to save and in what proportion, depending an your anticipated needs.

Time and compound interest can be your best friends when it comes to maximizing your savings. As our example shows, your initial $10,000 grows significantly year after year. No matter how small the amount you save, the sooner you start, time and compound interest can help make that small amount grow larger.
