Today we report on three determinations. Two are quick-hitters. One requires a little more analysis.

TiNY Report for August 22, 2019 (reporting on DTA cases issued August 15)
After two weeks with sparse output from the DTA, we should have realized that it would ramp back up at some point. This week we have two decisions and seven determinations.
TiNY Report for August 15, 2019 (reporting on a DTA Order issued August 8)
As of this writing, there’s nothing posted by the Tribunal and the ALJs have posted only one Order. Not only is it a “timy,” but it’s a timy-squared!
TiNY Report for August 8, 2019 (reporting on DTA cases published August 1)
I guess the DTA decided to embrace the summer slow-down this week after pumping out so many decisions and determinations last week. There’s just one determination this week, and it’s not particularly noteworthy, but at least it’s not a timy.
TiNY Report for August 1, 2019 (reporting on DTA cases published July 24 and 25)
We’re in the “Dog Days” of summer now. But you wouldn’t know it from the DTA’s output, which this week includes three Tribunal decisions and four ALJ determinations. There’s a timie or two, but the cases addressed mostly substantive issues, and Matter of Catalyst Repository Systems, Inc. is a noteworthy decision.
TiNY Report for July 25, 2019 (covering cases issued July 18)
There are three determinations and one order this week. And guess what? They are all timies – I’ve decided that I will also appropriate this word because it has a nice ring to it. I’d also like to make a quick note of admiration for the thoughtful approach the ALJ’s applied to these cases. It would be easy for the judges to just go through the motions on these mind-numbing timies. But as you will see below, there is nothing superficial about the analyses applied.
TiNY Report for July 18, 2019 (covering cases issued July 11)
As of this writing, three Determinations and one ALJ Order. No “timies.” Being an author brings almighty powers. Case in point - I just created a word: timy \tīm-ē\ n. (2019): a division of tax appeals order, determination or decision involving the issue of whether a taxpayer filed their request for conciliation conference, petition for administrative law judge hearing or an exception to the tax appeals tribunal within proper time limits. pl.: timies.

The DTA (like the rest of us) had the July 4th holiday off. But there were two Tribunal decisions published after we went to press before the holiday that we’ve been sitting on.
TiNY Report for July 3, 2019 (reporting on DTA cases published June 27)
As I was rushing to finalize some pre-holiday work, I paused to check the DTA’s website, and guess what I found? Two ALJ determinations and an Order posted a day early (picture fireworks and cheering)!!
TiNY Report for June 27, 2019 (reporting on a DTA case published June 20)
This week we have just one ALJ order on which to report. And it’s on a timeliness issue to boot (just shoot me). Next Thursday is July 4th, so it may be a few weeks before our next post. Enjoy a safe holiday!
