UnitedHealth Group is contesting an Internal Revenue Service proposal to increase its taxable income over how it priced transactions with one of its foreign subsidiaries, a dispute the company disclosed in a quarterly filing in May and repeated in its August filing.
The notices cover transactions between UnitedHealth and a foreign subsidiary from the 2017 through 2020 tax years, according to the May filing. The IRS is seeking to “significantly increase taxable income” for each of those years, and could seek similar adjustments for later years.
