Prairie Meadows Battles IRS Over Tax Exemption
Prairie Meadows faces a federal tax fight over whether income from its hotel, ATMs, restaurants, and gift shop is related to its tax exempt purpose. IRS earlier signaled removal of exemption but reversed that move while maintaining audits on revenue sources. If the IRS prevails, Altoona could owe hundreds of thousands yearly and nearly 1.4 million in back taxes. ATM income of about 1.8 million annually is at issue.
