Your new tax return client, Ms. X, had her 2018 tax return audited last year and found the whole experience so painful that she never wants to take a chance on ever having to deal with the IRS again. (She should have hired you to help de-fend the audit, but didn’t.) Specifically, she lost a very big part of her research tax credit because the IRS reclassified a large category of expenses that she had in-cluded in calculating the credit as “not sufficiently research-related.”
As to her 2019 return, you note that Ms. X has even more expenses in that same category, meaning that her tax credit would be much larger if they were included in the calculation. And, more importantly, you’re aware that a Tax Court decision from earlier this year held, in another taxpayer’s almost identical circumstances, that the very same category of expenses was properly included in the research credit calculation. Can you, or should you, advise Ms. X that her own expenses in this same category can be used to…

Max and Annie are roommates sharing an apartment. Although they know each other well, they have respect for each other’s privacy. Thus, when Max’s Form 1040 was audited by the IRS, he made no mention of the audit to Annie. When Annie was clearing the answering machine that they shared, she heard the following message: “Max, this is Richard, the IRS auditor. My figures show that you owe the government $10,000 in taxes and another $4,500 in penalties and interest.” When Annie brought up the message during dinner conversation that night, Max was furious. How could the IRS be so careless as to broadcast this news to a stranger? Did not he have any privacy and confidentiality rights? Max calls you to determine whether he might have a case against the IRS or Richard, the agent. Prepare a file memo assessing Max’s position.
