Circular 230 § 10.27 “Fees”, prohibits the tax professional from charging an unconscionable fee for representing a client in a matter before the IRS. ABA Model Rule 1.5(c) is the guideline attorneys should follow in charging a contingent fee for representing taxpayers in IRS examinations. CPAs are governed by an Interpretation to Rule 302 of the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct (Brager, Cobb, Dellinger, & Quealy, 2005). Hence, Charles has the responsibility to remind the attorney of the Rule since the fee charged is clearly unreasonable.

However, income is not constructively received if the taxpayer's control of its receipt is subject to substantial limitations or restrictions. The question now is whether Adrian faced substantial limitations or restrictions as defined by the tax law. The regulation does not provided an example specifically addressing Adrian's situation that would allow us to reach a conclusion.

D sold goods on credit to P’s emancipated son, who purchased them on P’s account.

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.
