Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal regarding direct federal tax was sufficiently reasoned and admissible.
Extrahierter Entscheid
It was inadmissible because the brief did not address the cantonal court's formal non-entry decision, focusing only on the merits.
Extrahierte Begründung
When the lower court has dismissed a filing for lateness, the appeal must specifically challenge that procedural ground; a substantive discussion is not enough.
