Consent extends period for S corp. items
Article Abstract:
The Tax Court has ruled in favor of a taxpayer who claimed that the IRS could not impose adjustments in his return with regards to his income as an S corporation shareholder even though he had signed Form 872-A. The Tax Court accepted the taxpayer's argument that even though he had consented to extend his limitations period by executing Form 872-A, the adjustments imposed by the IRS could not be made as the limitations period of the S corporation he held shares in had already expired. This Tax Court ruling established in 'Bufferd' has been upheld by the Second Circuit.
