- 137 - IX. Posttrial Developments A. First Thompson Refund Around the time of the Dixon II trial, Mr. DeCastro asked Mr. McWade to arrange for the Thompsons to receive a refund of $30,000 of their advance payments, in accordance with the second revision of the Thompson settlement. In a memorandum dated April 10, 1989, Mr. McWade requested Mr. Stevens to process a $30,000 refund to the Thompsons. Mr. McWade's April 10, 1989, memorandum states: The above-named taxpayers are part of the Kersting Interest Deduction Project. Because their case was designated as one of the "test cases", the basis for settlement agreed to prior to trial cannot be finalized until after the Court enters its decision, projected to be after mid-year 1990. The basis for settlement will result in approximate deficiencies, as follows: Tax Year Deficiencies Interest Total 1980 $15,000.00 $19,241.66 $34,241.66 1981 $15,000.00 $15,191.44 $30,191.44 Based upon the enclosed transcript, the taxpayers have made advance payments as follows: Tax Year Advance Payment 1979 $63,000.00 1980 $35,373.09 1981 $145.88 In an effort to minimize the interest expense to the government, it is requested that $30,000.00 of advance payment be refunded to the taxpayers, the allocations and/or inter-year adjustments being made, as necessary. Following the refund, there will be sufficient advance payments to full pay the agreed deficiencies, plus accrued interest, with a $4,085.87 reserve.Page: Previous 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 Next
