Essay

Greene is an individual taxpayer residing in Colorado (the Tenth Circuit). She has a disagreement with the IRS on a transaction.

The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit decided that case. If Greene takes her case to the U.S. Tax Court, should she feel confident of prevailing? Explain.
