U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 07-3242
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Bye and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Federal Insurance Contribution Act. Treasury Department
regulations limiting student exceptions to the FICA taxes imposed on
employers and employees to students who are not full time employees
was a permissible interpretation of the Act and was entitled to deference;
as a result, the district court erred in holding that stipends paid to
residents participating in accredited graduate medical programs at the
Mayo Foundation and University of Minnesota qualified for the
exception.
