REPORTS

OF THE

UNITED STATES TAX COURT

DIAL USA, INC., FORMERLY TRITELCO, INC., DAVID GLASSMAN, A PERSON OTHER THAN THE TAX MATTERS PERSON, PETITIONER V. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, RESPONDENT

[blocks in formation]

This case is controlled by the S corporation audit and litigation procedures contained in section 6241 et seq. R filed a motion for entry of decision pursuant to Rule 248(b). The proposed decision purports to decide the amount of each shareholder's basis in the subch. S corporation. Held: The amount of a shareholder's basis in an S corporation is not a "subchapter S item" that can be decided at the corporate level pursuant to section 6241 et seq. Therefore, we lack jurisdiction to decide the amount of a shareholder's basis.

William A. Heard III, for the respondent.

OPINION

RUWE, Judge: Dial USA, Inc., formerly Tritelco, Inc., is a subchapter S corporation subject to the S corporation audit and litigation procedures contained in section 6241 et seq.1 The S corporation audit and litigation procedures were

added to the Code in 1982 to provide a method for unified treatment of subchapter S items among the shareholders. Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982, Pub. L. 97-354, sec. 4(a), 96 Stat. 1691-1692; see S. Rept. 97-640 at 25 (1982), 1982-2 C.B. 718, 729; Blanco Investments & Land, Ltd. v. Commissioner, 89 T.C. 1169, 1171-1172 (1987).

The matter presently before us concerns respondent's motion for entry of decision, pursuant to Rule 248(b),2 filed April 26, 1990. Respondent's motion was served on petitioner and the tax matters person as provided by Rule 248(b). Neither petitioner nor any other shareholder has filed a response in opposition to the granting of this motion, but notwithstanding the absence of such response we conclude for the reasons hereinafter stated that respondent's motion must be denied.

On November 20, 1989, respondent filed a previous motion for entry of decision. The decision document attached to respondent's first motion included proposed findings regarding the amounts of each "individual shareholder's basis in Tritelco, Inc. during the taxable year 1984." There was no objection to respondent's first motion. Notwithstanding the apparent agreement of all of the parties, we questioned whether we had jurisdiction to determine an individual shareholder's basis in a subchapter S corporation in a proceeding at the corporate level. We held two separate hearings on this matter. Respondent submitted a written memorandum of authorities and argued at both hearings that a shareholder's basis in a subchapter S corporation can be a "subchapter S item" and, therefore, can be an item that is within the Court's jurisdiction for purposes of proceedings under section 6241 et seq. Neither petitioner nor any of the shareholders appeared at the hearings nor did they provide the Court with any written statement of their position.

Subsequent to the second hearing, respondent withdrew his original motion for decision, filed a second motion for entry of decision and, concurrently, lodged a revised decision document which presents the specific issue now before us. Like the decision document attached to the first motion, the second proposed decision would also decide the amount
