Recology CleanScapes, formed when CleanScapes of Seattle merged with San Francisco–based Recology, provides recycling services to about 800,000 residential and commercial customers in four western states. The employee-owned company’s motto is “WASTE ZERO,” and it is an industry leader in the waste reduction and recovery industry.

Facts: Casey Jones is a 2012 graduate of Tulane University Law School and admitted to practice law in the state of Louisiana. He has been employed by the family general practice law firm of Jones, Jones, and Jones since graduating law school. The firm’s three partners are Casey’s mother, father and uncle. Casey is one of seven other lawyer associates in the firm, which includes a cousin, and five other unrelated persons. There are also 5 non-lawyer clerical staff. No one at the firm has any specialized training in tax matters, but Casey has been trying to handle at least some simple tax issues for the firm. The partners had decided that it would be very good for business if they could establish a tax practice specialty within the firm. As a result, the firm sent Casey to the LL.M (tax) program at the NYU law school to earn an LL.M. degree in taxation. He attended from September 2018 to June 2019, at which time he graduated with the degree of Master of Laws in Taxation (LL.M). While he attended the program in New York the firm continued to pay him his $125,000. per year salary, his tuition and fees of $63,000 and $34,000 of living expense for rent and food at one of the NYU Law School dormitories, as well as his travel expenses to and from New York. Half was paid in 2018 and 2019. Upon graduation he returned to his firm’s New Orleans offices where he worked to establish their tax department. It is now time to file his return for 2019.

Questions: 1. What are the tax effects, if any, of these transactions on Casey and his law firm? 2. Would the result be any different if Casey were a CPA graduate of Tulane’s business school with a BA degree in accounting, and the degree he earned at NYU was a Masters in Tax in accounting in their business school, and Jones, Jones and Jones was a CPA firm? You need not calculate a tax return, but you should state what rules operate on, and interact with their various tax liabilities on the above facts. The rules in effect for tax year 2018 should be used. Please prepare an opinion letter in the format: Facts-Issue-Conclusion-Reasoning- Specify reason and authority for each statement you, citing the authority for each statement in legal citation format.

The paper should be no more than 3 pages double spaced and typewritten. Answer the questions I asked only, not what you wish I had asked. Give valid legal authority for each statement you make, citing the source in each case. Only primary sources are valid, such as the Internal Revenue Code, Regulations and Rulings, and prior Court Decisions. The textbook, annotations in CCH or other texts, or IRS consumer publications, may be useful in focusing your research, but they are not primary authority and may not be used to support your conclusions.

The City of Pfeiffer starts the year of 2017 with the general fund and an enterprise fund. The general fund has two activities: education and parks/recreation. For convenience, assume that the general fund holds $123,000 cash and a new school building costing $1 million. The city utilizes straight-line depreciation. The building has a 20-year life and no salvage value. The enterprise fund has $62,000 cash and a new $600,000 civic auditorium with a 30-year life and no salvage value. The enterprise fund monitors just one activity, the rental of the civic auditorium for entertainment and other cultural affairs.

The following transactions for the city take place during 2017. Assume that the city’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

1. Decides to build a municipal park and transfers $70,000 into a capital projects fund and immediately expends $20,000 for a piece of land. The creation of this fund and this transfer were made by the highest level of government authority.

2. Borrows $110,000 cash on a long-term bond for use in creating the new municipal park.

3. Assesses property taxes on the first day of the year. The assessment, which is immediately enforceable, totals $600,000. Of this amount, $510,000 will be collected during 2017 and another $50,000 is expected in the first month of 2018. The remainder is expected about halfway through 2018.

4. Constructs a building in the park in (b) for $80,000 cash so that local citizens can play basketball and other sports. It is put into service on July 1 and should last 10 years with no salvage value.

5. Builds a sidewalk around the new park for $10,000 cash and puts it into service on July 1. It should last for 10 years, but the city plans to keep it up to a predetermined quality level so that it will last almost indefinitely.

6. Opens the park and charges an entrance fee of only a token amount so that it records the park, therefore, in the general fund. Collections during this first year total $8,000.

7. Buys a new parking deck for $200,000, paying $20,000 cash and signing a long-term note for the rest. The parking deck, which is to go into operation on July 1, is across the street from the civic auditorium and is considered part of that activity. It has a 20-year life and no salvage value.

8. Receives a $100,000 cash grant for the city school system that must be spent for school lunches for the poor. Appropriate spending of these funds is viewed as an eligibility requirement of this grant. During the current year, $37,000 of the amount received was properly spent.

9. Charges students in the school system a total fee of $6,000 for books and the like. Of this amount, 90 percent is collected during 2017 with the remainder expected to be collected in the first few weeks of 2018.

10. Buys school supplies for $22,000 cash and uses $17,000 of them. The general fund uses the purchases method.
