A Dirty Stinking Business And No Charitable Contribution

By Peter J Reilly, Contributor

Your company gets into a dispute with a city about who stinks the most.  You settle the dispute by selling them dirt, but not charging them as much as it is worth.  Take a charitable contribution.  Makes sense to me.  To the IRS not so much, particularly if you don’t get the paperwork right.  In the case  of Boone Operations Co. LLC, the Tax Court went with the IRS.
