Approved January 14, 2019 <br /> 1 ID number. So, yes, LeAnn Brown said, it's her contention that it is impossible for an entity that does not exist to earn <br /> 2 income the year before it exists. <br /> 3 <br /> 4 Susan Halkiotis said there is not a signature or a date of when this was filed. Usually there is a signature on the <br /> 5 Schedule F. <br /> 6 <br /> 7 LeAnn Brown said she is looking at it just as the board is and it was attached to Kara Brewer's application so she does <br /> 8 not know when it was filed. i <br /> 9 <br /> 10 Susan Halkiotis asked if it was an amended return. <br /> 11 E <br /> 12 Andy Petesch said he does not know the nature of the return. What was requested on the subpoena request was the <br /> 13 document submitted to the Department of Revenue with respect to the qualifying farmer exemption. This was part of the F <br /> 14 exemption application. <br /> 15 <br /> 16 Susan Halkiotis said just because the profit-and-loss statement is for 2016 doesn't mean that it was filed by April 15, <br /> 17 2017, <br /> 18 <br /> i <br /> 19 Andy Petesch said all he could say is he does not have more information about that but what he would submit is that <br /> 20 the Department of Revenue would be able to look and see whether a filing had been made and it was that department's <br /> 21 determination that the filing was compliant. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Andy Petesch said he would like to respond to the contention that Wild Flora Farm did not exist in 2016 and somehow <br /> 24 makes this void. He submitted Forth Carolina Department of Revenue Directive CD02-1 states that a single-member <br /> 25 LLC that is not classified as a corporation is a disregarded entity from its single owner. So, the fact by 2017 when Wild ' <br /> 26 Flora Farm, LLC, did exist and tax returns were filed, and the application was made, there is no distinction between <br /> 3 <br /> 27 Wild Flora Farm and Kara Brewer from a state or federal tax standpoint. <br /> 28 <br /> f <br /> 29 Susan Halkiotis said there is a distinction for the application. For the application that was produced for the exemption f <br /> 30 certificate number, there is clearly a distinction, They are asking for the farm's income and not Kara Brewer's income. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 LeAnn Brown said she would like to object to the document, which does not relate to the farm exemption at all. The <br /> 33 document that Andy Petesch just handed the board. She wanted to object to the board receiving it,for the record. <br /> 34 <br /> 35 Karen Barrows said so we shan't. <br /> 36 <br /> 37 Susan Halkiotis said she thinks Andy Petesch has said that the employer I❑ that ends in 804 is the same on all <br /> 38 documents, <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Andy Petesch said that's correct, <br /> 41 <br /> 42 Barry Katz asked if Kara Brewer had an employer identification number in 2015. <br /> 43 <br /> 44 Andy Petesch answered it was issued in 2017. Andy Petesch said the revenue is listed as farm revenue, Whether it <br /> 45 was Kara Brewer at the time, because it's a disregarded entity, this is a question outside this board's purview. He <br /> 46 believes the question before this board is who was the qualifying farm tax exemption certificate issued to. And the card <br /> 47 itself says Kara Brewer and Wild Flora Farm. He believes the documents make clear that the entity that the Department <br /> 48 of Revenue issued it to is Wild Flora Farm, LLC, vis-a-vis an employer identification number. <br /> 49 { <br /> 50 Barry Katz checked that Andy Petesch did not think that res jurisdicta and collateral estoppel apply. <br />
