Journal Article · · Oil Gas Tax Q.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5290083
Arguments against the Tax Court's holding in Lastarmo, Inc. v. Commissioner review the equations for solving the percentage depletion deduction (PD) and dividends received deduction (DRD) interrelationship to determine whether a corporate taxpayer has had a net operating loss (NOL). The Tax Court sought to fill a perceived gap in Internal Revenue Service statutory framework which the author considers invalid because of the calculations used to prove NOL. His calculations show that none existed. 48 references. (DCK)
