 OLD COLONY R. CO. v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, 284 U.S. 552 (1932) -- US Supreme Court Cases from Justia & Oyez
The Revenue Act of 1921 defines gross income as including gains, profits, and income derived by the taxpayer from any source whatever, and provides that in computing net income of a corporation 'all interest paid or accrued within the taxable year on its indebtedness' is deductible from such gross income.
The proportion of the premiums attributable to 1921 and reported to the Commission as income for that year was $6,960.64, but the company did not in its tax return include this figure in gross income or deduct it from the amount of interest paid on its bonds.
The provisions of the Revenue Acts of 1918, 1921, 1924, and 1926 are the same as respects gross income of corporations and deductions therefrom.

A few years later, in the Revenue Act of 1921, the apparent oversight was corrected, and an unrestricted charitable bequest deduction became a permanent feature of the estate tax law.
Of particular interest was the impact on charitable bequests in 1921 and later years when presumably wealthy individuals first became aware of the estate tax advantage of charitable bequests.
For persons dying in 1921, when the charitable bequest deduction was initially enacted, 11,671 returns were filed with combined gross estates of $2.2 billion.

 NATIONAL LIFE INS. CO. v. UNITED STATES, 277 U.S. 508 (1928) -- US Supreme Court Cases from Justia & Oyez
The gross income to be considered under the Act of 1921 is limited to that received 'from interest, dividends, and rents.' In order to ascertain the taxable income, this gross investment income is to be reduced by nine classes of deductions, so far as severally applicable.
The objection made and sustained by the court, is that the act is void because thereby Congress taxes the bonds, an instrumentality of the states, or that it discriminates against the holder.
Under all these acts the companies were allowed to deduct the amount paid on policies (except as dividends) and the amount required by law to be added to their reserves.

Congress enacted this section of the 1921 Act to eliminate the competitive disadvantage that U.S. corporations were suffering as a result of double taxation of income earned outside the U.S. and to encourage U.S. business investments in U.S. possessions.
Section 931 used the same language as the 1921 Act's section 262, requiring, among other things, that 50% or more of the corporation's gross income be "derived from the active conduct of a trade or business." ยง 931(a)(2), 68A Stat.

Section 217 of the Revenue Act of 1921, the statutory predecessor of 26 USC § 861 and following, obviously only showed domestic income to be taxable when derived from certain activities.
Section 217 of the Revenue Act of 1921 makes it really obvious that it is only about foreigners, and citizens who get most of their income from within federal possessions, so that there are cases where U.S. citizens can have domestic taxable income.
After 1939 the statute changed wording, but the regulations still made it clear that it was about nonresident aliens, foreign corporations, and citizens and domestic corporations entitled to the benefits of section 251, which means they got most of their income from within federal possessions.

In large part, this 'theory' is adopted due to its advocate's failure to recognize that the "income" tax is an excise tax.
Happily, most who have acted on this misunderstanding (and who have filed returns) are not likely to have compromised their legal status (except to the degree that erroneous information returns concerning their receipts have been allowed to stand unrebutted, or have been rebutted improperly-- a hazardous, but generally salvageable, situation).

Though the Revenue Act of 1921 retained this basic structure, Adams returned to Capitol Hill once again as spokesman for the Treasury Department to urge a number of significant refinements to the mechanism.
The fundamental purpose of the 1921 foreign tax credit limitation was to protect the ability of the U.S. to collect tax on U.S. source income, but the limitation on the foreign tax credit also has had a number of effects on the investment decisions of U.S. residents.
Indeed, the 1921 Act was Adams' last as chief spokesperson for the Treasury Department and with passage of the 1921 Act, Adams' work on international taxation shifted from domestic legislation to international agreements.
