Personal Income Tax Planning

This PodCast is about the distinction between a capital and non-capital assets. The issue of what is a capital asset is looked at in the Ninth Circuit's decision in Trantina v. United States, 2008 TNT 7-8. In this case, an insurance agent was arguing that payments received from State Farm should have been taxed to him at capital gain rather than ordinary income rates. Unfortunately, the United States District Court disagreed with the taxpayer, and the Ninth Circuit did so as well.The materials are at available for download at http://www.edzollars.com/2008-01-28_Trantina.pdf This Podcast is sponsored by Leimberg Information Services, Inc. at http://www.leimbergservices.com Please visit our software, books, and PowerPoint Presentations site at http://www.leimberg.com
