Edward B. Adams v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided January 10, 1972 · Chambers, Hamley, Goodwin
456 F.2d 259; 29 A.F.T.R.2d (RIA) 437; 1972 U.S. App. LEXIS 11930 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Edward B. Adams v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The decision of the Tax Court sustaining the Commissioner’s income tax deficiency assessment is affirmed.

The theory of the deficiency was that Adams devoted to his own use moneys belonging to the estate of his deceased mother. Even though nothing was earned, it is the theory of the income tax law that the tax collector can share such conversions.

An examination of the record indicates the Commissioner sustained his burden of proof.
