The United States Tax Court Upholds Tax Lien Filing, Imposes Sanction for Delay Penalty
The United States Tax Court, citing its reasoning in a related levy case, upheld an IRS determination to proceed with the filing of a notice of federal tax lien against an individual and imposed a $20,000 penalty under code section 6673 because the individual raised the same frivolous arguments that he raised in his prior case.
A recent Tax Court decision was reported that may be of interest to individuals potentially dealing with tax litigation. J.
