Arnold v. Chenery Mgmt. Inc., PICS Case No. 16-1193 (C.P. Phila. Aug. 22, 2016) Djerassi, J. (12 pages).

An attempt to utilize an online-promoted tax shelter strategy termed a "distressed debt" strategy to optimize the tax situation of a husband and wife saw roadblocks when the IRS audited their 2001 tax returns. In its audit, the capital losses derived from activity with this strategy were disallowed by the IRS on grounds that they derived from fraudulent conduct on the part of defendants. The couple filed suit in 2010 against the companies involved with the scheme, which included an accounting firm that had put together the partnership tax returns on which they had relied for their own personal taxes. Alleging breach of contract, tort, and desiring return of the monies paid for the illegal services, plaintiffs sued the firm, and the firm responded with a motion for judgment on the pleadings. The court found that plaintiffs' own admission precluded allegations of a contractual relationship, they failed to allege designation as a third-party beneficiary of the scheme's contracts, and the tortious allegations with their dependent claims for disgorgement of fees paid were time-barred under collateral estoppel.
