In re Hall

Ruling
Capital gains tax on postpetition sale of farm by chapter 12 estate was not a priority administrative expense and could not be treated as unsecured.
Procedural posture

After filing their petition, the debtors sold farm land which generated a capital gains tax. In their amended chapter 12 plan, the debtors proposed to include that tax liability as an unsecured claim, relying on 11 U.S.C. § 1222(a)(2)(a). The IRS filed an objection to the plan.
