Odin Tools purchased land with commercial buildings suitable for manufacturing its primary product, automotive tools in 2005 for 5.5 million dollars. Subsequently, in 2015 Odin Tools’ shareholders entered into an agreement to exchange all of the outstanding stock to Victory tools in exchange for Victory Tools’ common stock. In financial accounting, this would result in Odin becoming one of Victory Tools’ subsidiaries. Prior to concluding the deal, Victory Tools notified Odin that they had learned through discovery that the title to the Odin Tools’ real property was encumbered by $1,000,0000 in “liens” filed by Ulysses Ray Stuck in the county courthouse. In 2016 and 2017 Odin Tools paid legal expenses of $56,000 and $120,000 respectively to successfully remove those “liens”. The trial court found that the liens filed by U.R. Stuck were fraudulent. Odin Tools deducted these legal costs when filing their tax returns for 2016 and 2017. The Internal Revenue Service denied the deductions, restated Odin’s taxable income, assessed additional income taxes, and included a charge for interest on the disputed tax bill. The stock acquisition of Odin Tools was completed in 2018 by Victory Tools. Odin Tools has paid the additional taxes and interest to “stop the clock” and is seeking your advice on a course of action to recover those disputed taxes and interest from the Internal Revenue Service.
