How Big Is Sixth’s Circuit’s Attack On IRS Substance Over Form Rule?
I have to admit that I was not that familiar, familiar at all really, with 7701(o), which was added in 2010. My excuse is that I have not been involved in designing sketchy tax shelters and 7701(o) has not been around long enough to show up in a lot of case law, since it is only applicable to post-enactment transactions. 7701(o) codifies the economic substance doctrine indicating that a transaction will not be recognized unless it changes a taxpayer’s economic position in a meaningful way beyond tax savings and has a substantial purpose beyond income tax effects.
