**Facts:**
The company filed claims disputing specific tax liabilities levied by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which the company contended were improperly assessed.

They contended that their accounting practices were compliant with industry standards and deserving of the deductions claimed. Additionally, they argued that the assessments were overly aggressive and not justified based on the facts of their financial operations.
- **United States' Position:** The government maintained that its tax assessments were based on a proper interpretation of the law and that Acceptance Insurance had not substantiated its claims for deductions.
