-7- 10, April 10, July 10, and October 10, through the term of the agreement, the amounts of $72,200 for each of the first four quarterly payments, $88,400 for each of the next four quarterly payments, and $80,300 for each quarterly payment thereafter until petitioner paid the total amount of its assessments. Petitioner claims it made payments to the FPCF totaling $1,014,378.94 from January 17, 1984 through May 25, 1988, with respect to arrears in its insurance coverage between 1976 and 1981. Petitioner, however, has not provided sufficient evidence as to the amount claimed. Moreover, even if the payments were made in the amount asserted by petitioner, it is unclear from the record the years to which the payments correspond. Petitioner argues that the FPCF payments made between 1984 and 1988 under the settlement agreement correspond to the "fourth assessment" which covers FPCF years 1976 through 1981, years in which petitioner was a tax-exempt organization under section 501. The settlement agreement, however, clearly states that the payment schedule prescribed therein covers the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth assessments. Section 501(a) exempts certain organizations, including those described under section 501(c)(3), from taxation unless the exemption is denied under sections 502 or 503. Section 162(a) allows as a deduction all the ordinary and necessary expenses paid or incurred during the taxable year in carrying on a trade or business.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next
