Tax Attorney Comments on United States v. Woods
Tax attorney, Ajay Gupta, recently wrote an article about United States v. Woods, a case scheduled on
October 9, to be heard by the Supreme Court. The heart of the case is about a
penalty for a tax deficiency. The tax deficiency was attributable to a mistake in valuation when the
transaction was disregarded for having no economic substance. Gupta's position is that
the government is overreaching in its analysis of the words "relate to."
