Cohen, David I. Attorney

(800) 394-4904 DelFiandra, David J. Attorney 525 William Penn Place, Pittsburgh, PA 15219

The IRS made assessments against our client totaling approximately $2 million regarding the write-off of loans to and investment in a limited partnership. The IRS asserted that the loan was not worthless when it was written off and that our client was not entitled to a bad debt deduction and, further that the cancellation of the loan produced forgiveness of debt income to the partnership. Simply, the IRS was trying to both eliminate our client's deduction and increase its income. We were able to convince the IRS that the "loan" was actually an equity investment that had been abandoned, and, as an equity investment, its abandonment did not generate forgiveness of debt income for the partnership or its partners. WE were also able to convince the IRS that our client was entitled to a deduction on the write-off on the investment. Based on our efforts, the IRS agreed to settle the case for five percent of its original assessment.
