Estate of Trompeter v. Commissioner
Estate of Trompeter v. Commissioner
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Petitioners-Appellants, the Estate of Emanuel Trompeter and the decedent’s daughters (collectively “Taxpayers"), appeal the decision of the Tax Court on remand from a prior decision of this court. See Estate of Trompeter v. Comm’r, 279 F.3d 767 (9th Cir. 2002); Trompeter v. Comm’r, 87 T.C.M. 851, 2004 WL 205824 (2004). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 7482.
We affirm the Tax Court in all respects, except for its finding that there were 31 additional coins.
We affirm the Tax Court in all other respects, including its fraud finding. Taxpayers’ concealment and undervaluation of assets amply support the Tax Court’s finding of fraud. But we reverse the Tax Court’s finding that there were an additional 31 coins for which Taxpayers failed to account, and remand for further proceedings consistent with this disposition. Each side shall bear its own costs on appeal.
AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED in part, and REMANDED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
