34 Abatement of Excise Taxes Abatement requests need careful consideration IRS regularly examines by sending request for more information Recent experience yielded no abatement Study meaning of reasonable cause in view of Parks case (9 th Circuit Ct of Appeals, ) Reliance on advice of legal counsel See IRS TAMs and
35 Abatement of Excise Taxes If a foundation manager, after full disclosure of the factual situation to legal counsel, relies on the advice of such counsel expressed in a reasoned written legal opinion that an expenditure is not a taxable expenditure under section 4945, the manager will not incur liability for approving the expenditure. Parks Foundation v. CIR, No (2017) (a)(2)(vi) 35
36 Abatement of Excise Taxes The Court in Parks case ruled opinion of counsel was not reasoned, because counsel supplied cursory commentary without addressing his opinion to the facts and applicable law. Because counsel's messages did nothing more than express a conclusion, the legal opinion was not reasoned within the meaning of the regulation. (Parks Foundation, 2017) 36
37 Abatement of Excise Taxes Grantee s pending Form 1023 was not adequate proof of public charity status and could not be relied by grantor as reason for not exercising expenditure responsibility. (IRS Tech. Adv. Memo ) Lack of knowledge that PF s founder held more than 20% of business stock was not adequate excuse for buying excess business holdings. (IRS Tech Adv. Memo ) 37
