Tax Court Rescues Taxpayer From The Agent From Hell
AFH is firmly convinced that your client is up to no good. I have only run into AFH a couple of times. My personal approach to Revenue Agents is that we are brother or brother and sister accountants searching for the truth. That the truth is definitely “no change” or in a very rare circumstance a refund is something that I don’t emphasize.
AFH is a different story. I have a friend who would yell and scream and pound the table with AFH. My approach is more passive-aggressive, which I like to think gets under AFH’s skin even more.

Bill Clabough, Executive Director of Foothills is unable to comment on the case, since Foothills is not really involved in the tax structuring or the valuation.

We made some tentative arrangements for me to visit the property, but that won’t be for a few months.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
