(the trustee in bankruptcy) issued to petitioners two Forms 1099-INT, in the amounts of $12,833.37 and $33,416.10,6 with regard to the payments labeled "interest" on the CMO loan and the remaining loans, respectively. Petitioners’ 1990 Federal Income Tax Return Petitioners’ accountant, Kenneth B. Healey, prepared petitioners' 1990 Federal income tax return. Because of the document matching program that the Internal Revenue Service employed, Mr. Healey determined that petitioners should report as interest income the amount ($46,2497) reported on the two Forms 1099-INT from Pioneer Service Co. and wash that amount out by claiming $46,249 as negative income on line 22 (Other income) of their 1990 Form 1040. 6 The parties acknowledge that this amount is $1,853.50 more than the $44,396 petitioners actually received from Pioneer Mortgage in 1990. 7 The $46,249 comprises the sum total of the amounts reported on the Forms 1099-INT issued to petitioners for 1990.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Next
