- 8 - Stephanie and David made unsuccessful attempts to sell the Atascadero property at different times over the next 2 years. Stephanie and David leased the property to tenants during some portions of the period that they owned the property. David lived on the Atascadero property during periods he and Stephanie could not find tenants. In 1993, Stephanie and David ended their relationship. At some point during or before 1994, Stephanie sold her townhouse in Hercules and built a home in Oakland, California, in which she resided. While Stephanie lived in Oakland, her mother experienced health problems and moved in with her. In 1994, respondent examined petitioner’s profit-sharing plan and trust. Respondent determined that the 1988 loans to Stephanie and Johnathan and the Atascadero loan to Stephanie and David were prohibited transactions under section 4975(c) because they were made to disqualified persons as defined by section 4975(e)(2). Respondent required Stephanie and Johnathan to correct the prohibited 1988 loans by returning the outstanding loan balances to the plan by December 31, 1994, and that they each pay a 5-percent excise tax and interest. Johnathan and Stephanie repaid the outstanding balances of their 1988 loans by December 31, 1994. With respect to the Atascadero loan, respondent offered to allow the transaction to be corrected in either of two ways.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Next
