Fight to collect tax on collateral heirs of late Timothy Flinn
Des Moines reports the state tax office pursuing about 6000 in collateral inheritance tax from the heirs of Timothy Flinn of Winneshiek county. The estate valued between 75000 and 100000 may conceal larger assets including a 1000 life policy. Prosecutors allege collusion between Flinn and his brother to defeat the tax and plan to petition in Winneshiek county courts to recover more assets and enforce the tax.
