Bobby Dexter on Medical Expense Deductions

Bobby Dexter on Medical Expense Deductions

Just like taxes, medical expenses are inevitable in life. However, not all medical expenses are deductible. Section 213 allows taxpayers to deduct the portion of medical care expenses that are over 7.5 percent of the adjusted gross income as a part of the itemized deduction. This complicated statutory design hinges upon the definition of “medical care.”  In this episode, Professor Bobby Dexter uses case law to illustrate the problems arising from the seemingly simple definition in section 213.  Aside from the policy debates, these problems also reflect the definitional issues that exist in many areas of tax law.  Professor Dexter is a professor of law at Chapman University’s Dale E. Fowler School of Law.   Tax Class is hosted by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/d5ztpr04.na1.hubspotlinksfree.com/Ctc/W6*113/d5ztpr04/VVs3j87KYX2fN1XYGqMWNlmlW46ZLVZ5lJ2XFN8mSy4P3m2ndW6N1vHY6lZ3lyW98vm7L5c47nkW8w1VT22vxgvMW3LC-Bh124YWTW98smrC5vfgL_W6MXVFC2d53M0W5N9zdH22DhBsW5jjz8r1q9L24W7D9q4v35g_NWW4Zh35n6ZSKv9W1nnQdT8NZDm-W3CWGSV2WBYq1W5zcWWw2y97v8W3fpmND3V_6Q8W6bVkJn2lxsS4N3ywsTlY1Qh_W2_W8gm6N_xbtW4NpN664MfzC-W98hwhc2fYJWfW6k0fLD5WC2WWW22zwrX10qQxHW7g2HTy18p390VwBjkN6h25XJf4xCdKd04__;Kw!!IaT_gp1N!xP8lTCB4BIx63evnzNzdKp8rVBl4UaU2_6PhNwD1DLF3lH6MOBs0whFX8tax_GBuEFHe9bzVo1VEW_7ISfyUwJMU7mg$]⁠⁠⁠Ben Leff⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.american.edu/wcl/faculty/bleff.cfm]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/d5ztpr04.na1.hubspotlinksfree.com/Ctc/W6*113/d5ztpr04/VVs3j87KYX2fN1XYGqMWNlmlW46ZLVZ5lJ2XFN8mSy4P3m2ndW6N1vHY6lZ3npW3qWYSd4mJ6NXW1Kf3SY5WsLRYW92QfbF70krTJW1P3Ym94RQ44-W7C4gRJ2dW6PhW8pHDlm3JJ3_SW5Cy5MR5PfqnbW534yS52SHgRTV5qg6p7SfkkNW6pz-kf4BWS-HW48bDCV6HggbGW3jBfNV81hhFLN6tB2BMNPTV_N5yc4ry382nbW8lWJNQ3f1b1vW5x1KVW5PW2K5W5MQf8s5WvBRmW4PWm5J7xPQk3W77qvjw6Ks4P6W2409Ls2vn9hjW9cFFLB3YPHSxN4lbMwb2jWbzf6_Wsd804__;Kw!!IaT_gp1N!xP8lTCB4BIx63evnzNzdKp8rVBl4UaU2_6PhNwD1DLF3lH6MOBs0whFX8tax_GBuEFHe9bzVo1VEW_7ISfyUtZUYYVY$] and produced by Tony Xu.

Brian Galle on Deductions for Charitable Contribution and More

Almost everybody knows about the deduction for charitable contributions. But very few students come to tax class knowing much about how it works or having considered why it might be complicated. And yet, the sheer length of section 170 hints at its complexity. In this episode, Professor Brian Galle discusses three mechanics of the rules: the overall cap on deductible contributions, the interaction of the deduction with realization rules, and the requirement to exclude any benefits received from the amount given. Professor Galle also explores the underlying tax policy considerations and illustrates the practical effects of these mechanical rules. Professor Galle is the Agnes Williams Sesquicentennial Professor of Tax Policy at Georgetown University Law Center.

Steven Dean on Business Deductions and Racial Disparities

What can you write off as a business expense? At the most general level, section 162 says “all the ordinary and necessary expenses” for the trade or business, as long as they are not disallowed elsewhere in the Code. But what is “ordinary” and what is “necessary”? Professor Steven Dean points out that the “ordinary” requirement, by definition, favors the common practice and, therefore, disfavors the minority. What may seem merely surprising (or even shocking in some cases) may also reveal systemic privilege or even racism.  As a casebook author himself, Professor Dean believes that its important for legal educators to provide relevant context, including about race, for students to draw their own conclusions. Professor Dean is a professor of law and the Paul Siskind Research Scholar at Boston University School of Law.

John Brooks on Realization of Income

As highlighted in previous episodes, the Internal Revenue Code provides a long list of transactions that are or are not income. The Code itself does not define what constitutes income. This conceptual question matters not only to income tax calculation, but also to Congress's power to impose an income tax under the Sixteenth Amendment. The definition of income—particularly, whether "realization" is a necessary element—has troubled courts for almost as long as the income tax has existed in the U.S. Just this past term, the Supreme Court wrestled with this question once again in Moore v. United States [https://d5ztpr04.na1.hubspotlinksfree.com/Ctc/W6+113/d5ztpr04/VVwGtL6qWMpDW2-_xx05L3m-8W7MhRLh5l_-zXN3ypqFF3m2ndW7lCdLW6lZ3n_W1f9cz657W3NpW7tCkj86Zd3xsW7GvNLk8pR3_vW1Z56xC40l_08W8Jrh5y48Hs6DW3RZsrK7grRXBW4Wtz3s65qCJLW46h0Xm7KM7z5W3cqXn76-p5nFW4yrmPJ3jBb5fW6GYVV63-734BW2DVwtQ1FN-kZW5z6mBz8z-4fkW2M5DJx3qvx-cVcCX8-5lGNbkN6m6RJGwdFT2MlYsHvX74dXW3q2W9q8MHqBVW8qttjX4nnP4_W4Jw6C322qbqdW5vwgm-3ZppqhW3JgrWb4q2sRzN4BvCg_C7pwqW1D6Y2N1b9Thcf1ss_F004].
