  • Section 471.--General Rule for Inventories
    1 Part I Section 471.--General Rule for Inventories 26 CFR 1.471-3: Inventories at Cost. (Also '' 61; 111; 472; 1.472-2.) Rev. Rul. 2001-8 ISSUE What is the proper method of accounting for payments made or received with respect to “floor stocks”? BACKGROUND A floor stocks provision, which applies to a designated type of goods held in inventory (floor stocks) on a particular date (the “floor stocks date”), is sometimes enacted in conjunction with a tax, change in tax rate, or subsidy that is imposed upon similar goods purchased or produced on or after that date. The purpose of a floor stocks provision is to ensure that all goods sold on or after the floor stocks date are subjected to the same total amount of tax or subsidy, regardless of whether the items sold were goods held as floor stocks on the floor stocks date or goods purchased or produced after that date. This equal treatment is achieved by imposing with respect to goods held on the floor stocks date an amount, to be either paid or received, that will serve to eliminate any differential in total tax or subsidy that would otherwise exist relative to goods subsequently purchased or produced. The Internal Revenue Service, in two previous revenue rulings, has addressed the proper tax treatment of payments received with respect to floor stocks. Rev. Rul. 2 88-95, 1988-2 C.B. 28, and Rev. Rul. 85-30, 1985-1 C.B. 20, generally provide that payments received with respect to floor stocks should be treated as either an item of gross income or a reduction in inventory, depending on whether the cost of the goods to which the payments relate remains in ending inventory under the taxpayer’s cost flow assumption.

GLENN HAHNt Accounting enters financial transactions in the accounts of the business entity. From these accounts emerge the periodic state- ments which convey the results of the transactions to management, stockholders, and creditors. Nominally, at least, the income tax law also looks to the accounts of the taxpayer-entity for the basic determination of taxable income. From these same accounts must come the information which forms the essence of the annual income tax assessments. A servant to two masters, accounting has not always performed its Janus-like duties to the satisfaction

  • Gross Income Defined
    Part I Section 61.—Gross Income Defined 26 CFR § 1.61-2: Compensation for services, including fees, commissions, and similar items (Also: ) Rev. Rul. 2007-19 PURPOSE The Internal Revenue Service (Service) is aware that some taxpayers are attempting to reduce or eliminate their federal income tax liability by claiming that compensation received in exchange for personal services is not taxable income. These taxpayers often attempt to avoid their federal income tax liability by failing to file federal income tax returns or by failing to report all income from wages or other compensation on their federal income tax return. They often furnish Forms W-4, Employee Withholding Allowance Certificates, on which they claim excessive withholding allowances or claim complete exemption from withholding. In addition, they often claim deductions from gross income for personal, living and family expenditures in order to reduce the tax liability related to wages or other compensation. 2 The Service is aware that some promoters and return preparers are advising or recommending that taxpayers take these or other meritless positions. This revenue ruling emphasizes to taxpayers, promoters and return preparers that wages and other compensation received in exchange for personal services are taxable income subject to federal income tax. Any argument that such compensation is not taxable income has no merit and is frivolous. The Service is committed to identifying taxpayers who attempt to avoid their federal tax obligations by taking frivolous positions. The Service will take vigorous enforcement action against these taxpayers and against promoters and return preparers who assist taxpayers in taking these frivolous positions.
