Tax Court Cases--2024


Small Business Taxes & ManagementTM--Copyright 2024, A/N Group, Inc.

 

Below is a list of the 2024 cases of the U.S. Tax Court. We've kept the key word list short to make searches easy. Use the "find-in-page" or "find" feature of your browser (CTRL-F) to search this list. Be sure to try variations of keywords such as "activities" as well as "activity"; "depreciation" as well as "depreciate". Please note that the mention of an issue does not in any way imply the outcome. For example, if "fraud penalty" is mentioned, that only means the fraud penalty was an issue, not that it was imposed or rejected by the Court. Hypenation has become an art form. Try searches with and without. The majority of cases mention Sec. 7491 (Burden of Proof); we have not listed it unless it was a significant issue.

NOTE--The U.S. Tax Court has significantly revised its system of presenting cases and other information. Our old links (in year 2020 and prior) no longer work. However, you may search the U.S. Tax Court website at dawson.ustaxcourt.gov/ from the options Case Order Opinion select Opinion and search there by case/petitioner's name or by date or date range. You can search for cases as far back as May 1, 1986.
