Unanimous Court Limits Taxpayer Privacy

by

Thursday May 18, 2023 – The Supreme Court released the much-anticipated decision in Polselli v. IRS. This case concerned a collection action of the IRS. So, I took a specific interest in this case.

While the case was often touted as a 4th amendment privacy case – that’s not how the court saw it. Rather, the court decided the case based on Statutory construction, not Constitutional Law.

Chief Justice Roberts delivered the Opinion of the Court. The court held:

“The question presented is whether the exception to the notice requirement in §7609(c)(2)(D)(i) applies only where a delinquent taxpayer has a legal interest in accounts or records summoned by the IRS under §7602(a). A straightforward reading of the statutory text supplies a ready answer: The notice exception does not contain such a limitation.”

In this case, [t]he parties did not argue, and the [court] below did not decide, the contours of [the phrase ‘in aid of the collection.'”

Justice Jackson wrote a concurring opinion (joined by Justice Gorsuch) in which she writes “Congress did not give the IRS a blank check, so to speak, to do with as it will in the collection arena.”

In her opinion, “the IRS is not necessarily exempt from notice obligations any time a tax-delinquency matter enters the collection phase.”

I only wish more Justices joined in her opinion.

While the Court upheld the IRS’s position in this instance, it did not define the full extent of the IRS’s authority to issue summonses, implying that there could be future clarification on this matter.

Cryptocurrency: Understanding The Ups & Downs

by

Crypto-Tuesday May 16, 2023 – Today, I summarize an article I found in Mondaq – “Learning from the Ups and Downs of Cryptocurrency” by Jose Saa. From what I can find, Mr. Saa is a Compliance Officer who works within the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) & Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance program..

The article starts by mentioning how cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have become popular and can change the way we do things, especially in finance and technology. However, Mr. Saa points out that these digital currencies can also be unpredictable, and their values can change quickly.

One important lesson we can learn is the need to research and be careful before investing in cryptocurrencies. It’s important to understand how they work, what affects their value, and the risks involved. Although there is a chance to make money, there’s also a higher risk of losing it because of how fast the prices can go up and down.

The article also talks about the importance of rules and regulations for cryptocurrencies. Since they are not controlled by banks or governments, there should be some guidelines to protect people from scams and fraud. Finding the right balance between innovation and rules is crucial for the success of cryptocurrencies in the long run.

Another lesson is about keeping our digital money safe. Since cryptocurrencies exist only in computers, they can be targets for hackers and cybercriminals. Using strong passwords, secure storage methods, and other safety measures is important to protect our digital assets.

Additionally, the article mentions the importance of learning and staying informed. Cryptocurrencies are complicated, so it’s essential to keep learning about them and staying updated on the latest news and best practices. This knowledge can help us make smarter decisions and be aware of the risks involved.

To sum it up, cryptocurrencies can be exciting, but they also come with risks. It’s important to do research, follow rules, keep our digital money safe, and stay informed. By learning from the ups and downs of cryptocurrencies, we can make smarter choices and have a more secure and successful experience with digital money.

My take – investing in cryptocurrencies carries the same burdens and responsibilities as investing in traditional assets.
