4th Circuit: Tax Court Reversed on Historic Rehab Credits

The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the Tax Court and remanded for further proceedings. The appellate court held that the transfers between investor partners and the partnership were not non-taxable capital contributions followed by partnership distributions as previously determined by the Tax Court but rather were disguised sales of state tax credits subject to tax.
