Technology Officer Denied Capital Gain Treatment On Sale To Google

Technology Officer Denied Capital Gain Treatment On Sale To Google

Clearly Mr. Brinkley would have helped himself with the penalties if he had given all documents to his advisers.  Should he have made more of a fuss about the W-2? There you get into business judgement.  You wouldn’t want tax issues to screw up the deal.  If I could have changed one thing, I would have separated the transfer of rights from the employment letter.  I hope Mr. Brinkley appeals this decision.  It may be right on the capital gain issue, although there is still an argument there.  And I think it is wrong on the penalty.

Judicial Watch Loses Orthodontist Suit Against Delay Of Obamacare Employer Mandate

A dissenting judge had pointed out that Doctor Kawa was out the interest he could have earned on the five grand over two years.  I guess that might have amounted to something back when money still earned interest.  That had not been mentioned in the claim.  And really, you shouldn’t be in court over something that could be settled with maybe a steak dinner.

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.
