Comedian Jack Benny claims his donation of show
business memorabilia to the University of California at Los Angeles entitled him to a $156,000
federal tax deduction, but the Internal Revenue Service disagrees.
Instead, the tax
men assert, Benny and his wife owe $109,081 in back taxes for 1967 and 1968.
Benny’s lawyer said
the claimed deduction for the charitable contribution is similar to the one
President Richard Nixon took for donating his vice-presidential papers to the
national Archives, Nixon’s claim was accepted.
