In Bales v. Commissioner, supra, we held, inter alia, that
although the Hoyt partnerships at issue were not lacking in
economic substance and would be respected for tax purposes,
adjustments to the Hoyt partnerships’ proportionate shares of
losses generated from the acquisition, management, and sale of
Hoyt cattle were required, and the recalculated losses were
deductible by the limited partners to the extent of the partners’
adjusted bases.
The settlement agreement, which was executed after we issued
Bales in 1989, provided, in pertinent part, as follows:
• deductions for contributions to an Individual
Retirement Arrangement -- also called an
Investment Retirement Account -- are limited to
cash actually paid to custodial banks on or before
the due date of the return for which the deduction
is to be claimed.
