Keogh Disallows Federal Claim in Tax Review
The memorandum argues the federal claim rests partly on Bridgeport company books and partly on arbitrary agent computations. It notes $80,305.20 reserved for doubtful accounts and $80,000 reserved for breach of contract, with settlements at $6,060, yielding a loss of $74,600, and contends the government claim overstates income while many years had incomplete records. The court may decide the deduction amount and legality independent of the agent’s prior actions.
