• David LaRue testified before the IRS Office of Chief Counsel in Washington, D.C., Dec. 8, 2004.

Section 1363(d) imposes a “toll charge” on regular corporations (sometimes referred to as “C corporations”) that use the LIFO method of accounting for their inventories and that either elect to be taxed under “Subchapter S” of the Internal Revenue Code or merge into existing “S corporations.” Section 1363(d) requires these corporations to “recapture” their accumulated “LIFO reserve” as taxable income in their last year as a C corporation. The proposed regulations that LaRue is testifying on would, if finalized in their present form, overturn the decision of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in
Coggin Automotive Corporation v. Commissioner, 292 F.3d 1326 (11th Cir 2002),
rev’g 115 T.C. 349 (2000). LaRue’s written testimony was published in
