Question juridique clé
Whether the back-tax assessments for state and federal taxes were clearly incorrect and had to be adjusted
Solution extraite
No. The estimated assessments were not shown to be clearly incorrect; the taxpayers failed to prove the reconstructed accounts and other submissions displaced the tax office's estimation based on asset development and living expenses.
Motifs extraits
The taxpayers had no cash book, the reconstructed financial statements were based on incomplete records, and the tax office used recognized estimation methods. Individual objections such as depreciation, social security reserves, and interest deductions did not establish comprehensive incorrectness.
