No. 81-7173.

716 F.2d 1241 (1983)

ELLIOTTS, INC., Petitioner-Appellant, v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Decided September 26, 1983.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William H. Adams, Salt Lake City, Utah, for petitioner-appellant.

David Pincus, Jonathan S. Cohen, Richard M. Wilson, Jr., Washington, D.C., for respondent-appellee.

Before HUG, SKOPIL, and FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.


HUG, Circuit Judge:

Elliotts, Inc. ("Taxpayer"), challenges the Tax Court's determination of deficiencies in its 1975 and 1976 tax returns. It argues that the Tax Court erred in finding that part of the compensation paid Taxpayer's chief executive and sole shareholder during those years constituted a dividend distribution and thus was not deductible under section 162(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. We reverse.
