No. 2:09-cv-01284- v. GMS UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Defendant-Appellant/ AMENDED Cross-Appellee. OPINION Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona G. Murray Snow, District Judge, Presiding Argued and Submitted April 9, 2015—Pasadena, California Filed December 9, 2015 Amended December 30, 2015 Before: Stephen Reinhardt, M. Margaret McKeown, and Milan D. Smith, Jr. Circuit Judges. Opinion by Judge McKeown Dissent by Judge Milan D. Smith, Jr. 2 DORRANCE V. UNITED STATES SUMMARY* Tax The panel reversed the district court’s denial of the government’s motion for summary judgment in a tax refund action involving the calculation of the cost basis of stock received through demutualization. Taxpayers received and then sold stock derived from the demutualization of five mutual insurance companies from which they had purchased life insurance policies. Taxpayers initially asserted a zero cost basis in the stock and paid tax on the gain, but later claimed a full refund. The district court held that taxpayers had a calculable basis in the stock and were therefore entitled to a partial refund. The panel held that the Internal Revenue Service properly denied the refund claim and that the district court had erred in its cost basis calculation because taxpayers had not met their burden of showing that they had in some way paid for the stock. The panel explained that under the life insurance policies, taxpayers were entitled to certain contractual rights such as a death benefit, the right to surrender the policy for cash value, and annual dividends.

    Anjali: 00:08 Hi everyone. Thanks for tuning in to today's episode of Money Checkup where we take a deep dive into matters related to money, business and personal finance. I'm your host, Anjali Jariwala, CPA and Certified Financial Planner. I guess today is Mark Maurer. Mark is the president and CEO of LLIS a comprehensive insurance practice that works with advisors and their clients to find the right solution. Mark, welcome to the podcast. Mark: 00:42 Hi Anjali. Thank you so much. Anjali: 00:44 So I'm excited to have you here today to talk about insurance, which some people might think is not that exciting of a topic that you and I, you and I have. I have different opinions about that, but I think that insurance is so important and I think there can be a lot of complexity around it. So I'm glad to have you here to decipher some of the complexity and to tell our listeners going to what they need to be thinking about. So before we get into the technical matters, why don't you tell our listeners a little bit about your background and how you became an expert in the insurance space? Mark: 01:19 Well, I never thought that I would be in the insurance industry even though both of my parents were in the insurance industry growing up. When I graduated from college, I was living in Atlanta, I was working there, I worked for an international shipping company and then moved to Gainesville, Florida with my wife and there was working for a natural gas trading company and we, my wife and I both really liked what we were doing, but we weren't close to family.
