The Tax Court sided with a taxpayer after the IRS Appeals Office sustained the filing of a notice of federal tax lien against the property of the taxpayer, Antonio Lepore, to collect assessed trust fund recovery penalties for unpaid unemployment taxes. Lepore argued that the Appeals Office erred because it did not permit him to contest his liability for the trust fund recovery penalties on which the assessments were based. A person who has received a Letter 1153 from the IRS has already had an opportunity to contest trust fund recovery penalties, and is barred from contesting the liabilities before the Appeals Office in the context of its determination to sustain the filing of a notice of federal tax lien.

The principles behind the passive-activity loss limitations rules under Code Sec. 469 and the net investment income Medicare tax under Code Sec. 1411 are similar -- limit business losses from passive activities or raise the tax on passive-type income a bit more, when not the direct result (at least not a significant part) of a taxpayer's labor. Congress, however, did not leave it at that -- or, as some would argue, leave well enough alone.
