Back in February of 2006, I did a podcast on medical\\nreimbursement plans and went over the Speltz\\ncase where the taxpayer prevailed in a medical reimbursement plan provided for\\nher husband who worked for the taxpayer\\u2019s daycare business as an employee.\\xa0 That was a case where the taxpayer kept\\nexcellent records and truly kept track of all the necessary details.\\xa0 This week the Tax Court gave opinions in two\\ncases where taxpayers were not as meticulous with such plans\\u2014and the results\\nwere not nearly as good.

\\n\\n\\n

We look at the cases of Snorek\\nv. Commissioner, TC Memo 2007-34 and Francis\\nv. Commissioner, TC Memo 2007-33 for taxpayers who adopted medical\\nreimbursement plans but found that there was more to sustaining the deduction than\\njust doing that.
