Case No. 19-0261

John Allen Christensen and Lila Christensen
v.
Iowa Department of Revenue

John Allen and Lila Christensen, taxpayers, appeal the district court’s decision on judicial review affirming the agency’s conclusion that the taxpayers did not meet their burden of proving the Iowa Department of Revenue’s assessment was erroneous. The district court determined the agency decision finding the taxpayers did not materially participate in the cash-rent farm activity in order to claim a capital gain deduction from taxable income from the sale of certain business property, including farm property, was supported by substantial evidence in the record.
