Government Taxes Case Against Samuel J. Tilden
The government seeks $150000 in taxes on income. Tilden through his attorney prepared an answer denying the allegations and claiming no income was received as the government asserts. He paid taxes for two years based on his returns, accepted by the government, while for other years he did not file returns. The assessor fixed the tax, and such payments were deemed conclusive and barred further claims. Tilden will demur to the count alleging the income date of January 1, 1802, as the act of Congress then repealed before it took effect.
