Wender Seeks 18050.76 Refund On Taxes In Court
Morris Wender of Oak Hill seeks a tax refund of 18050.76 plus 3342.41 interest from the federal government in a Beckley Federal District Court suit. He contends overpaid excise taxes were based on an accrual rather than installment method for 1949 to 1951. His counsel notes meticulous records and cooperation with the IRS, while the government argues adjustments were based on settled years and the statute of limitations. The case hinges on whether the IRS allowed accrual taxation or installments and whether willfulness applies.
