Jury selection is beginning today in a Madison, Wis. courtroom in the trial the IRS' interpretation of the unrelated business income tax with regard to credit unions.
Community First Credit Union is seeking a refund of $54,000 that the IRS claimed was owed based on the sale of credit life and credit disability insurance and guaranteed auto protection insurance.
