I pay an accountant quite a bit every year to escape with nowhere near the clearance you do.
I must be doing something wrong.
LOL! I have an account too...it is my Lord. I do His bidding. He, we, win...
...what more can I say?
I am just an old, retired Chemical Engineer. Not an account. Not a whiz at beating the beegeebers out of ANY three letter agency.
Some years ago, before I quit filing, I was audited. It turned out to be a full scale audit. I overwhelmed the auditor with spreadsheets and shoe boxes of data. Nothing could be found wrong with my return. I finally, after much wailing and nashing of teeth on the part of the IRS auditor’s superior, got a letter stating that my return was accepted as filed. Unheard of...they will do anything to avoid having to issue such a letter. Two years later I was audited again on a minor point. It was after that audit that I quit filing. Now I file, but to rub their noses in it.
The IRS is an EVIL, non-governmental agency, incorporated outside of the US, and a tool of the Fed and the foreign bankers that control the Fed. If everyone refused to bow to this EVIL three-letter agency, they would suddenly be totally powerless.
