Notice the new IRSS symbol-- the vulture.

We did #2 (donations too high for their tastes) and triggered an audit last year. I just hope we aren't now on a "list" to return to for years to come.

This article is as useful as the 'seasonal' advice you always get on your local news such as: 'drink lots of fluids' during a heat wave or 'dress in several layers' on a chilly day. Extremely useful.

Taking the home office deduction may entice the IRS only because some taxpayers claim it erroneously. We've discussed this issue before see story, but as a recap, to claim a home office deduction your home office must be used solely for work purposes. That means the room can't double as the kids' playroom.Also, you can't have an office anywhere else. So if you're a workaholic who likes to bring work home, you can't claim the home office deduction.

Not true. There was a case where a violinist was able to deduct part of her rent while living in a studio apartment.

#8 is easy to avoid. Just take your refund, divide by the number of pay periods you have in a year, and have $5 less than that taken out of your with holding. That way you get a "pay raise" every paycheck".

Gee, there is a big big difference between a letter about a math error or typo and an audit. My experience with simple errors is they are easily and quickly fixed right over the phone.

If you happen to be getting an exceptionally large refund, don't expect Uncle Sam to freely give up his money. He's going to check and double check to make sure you really deserve all that cash back.

Boy, with a tax "advisor" with this point of view, who needs enemies.

The income tax is a slave tax. As the above article clearly demostrates, as long as we slaves follow the rules, we will not get whipped. And the rules are intentionally obscure -- who among us can possibly file an income tax return and believe they have followed all of the rules?

If you are as mad as I am about the very existence of this evil, Marxist inspired Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and the corrupt agency which selectively enforces it (and enslaves us all), please consider becoming an active supporter of the National Retail Sales Tax (NRST).

The two NRST bills introduced in this Congress(H.R. 2525 and H.R. 2717) will replace the income tax with a NRST and abolish the IRS. Consider carefully what that would mean in terms of restoring a significant measure of your personal and economic FReedom.

There are many other benefits to be realized from the NRST, but gaining the personal FReedom to work, save and invest without the greedy hand of the government "Massa" stealing the fruits of one's labor, IMHO, is the most significant.

Just as Lincoln freed the slave during the Civil War, we are working to free the slaves (US!) in the 21st Century.

We Americans are faced with a stark problem: we either destroy the IRC/IRS monster or the IRC/IRS monster will continue to enslave and eventually destroy us.

“I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.”

We will never be a truly FRee people so long as we have the income tax and the IRS.

Get a good accountant and don't be afraid, otherwise you are leaving money on the table. "Audits" are 99% of the time "show us a reciept" or "show us a letter from your work requiring you to have a home office." The anal probe audits are randomly selected - you can't do anything to avoid them. The only people really under the microscope are cash businesses.

#11. Be an owner or employee of a retail firearms enterprise

[ancient_geezer]

They forgot the big one:

#11 File a Return.

And the really big one:

#12 Don't File a Tax Return

I got a better idea:

The individual's tax form under the NRST amounts to:

 

 

 

 

With the NRST Every household receives Tax Slave Reparations (aka Family Consumption Allowence), based on family size, not income, as well as 100% of their paycheck:

Fedup Smith makes $39K per year...once the FairTax is the law of the land he will receive an instant increase in pay of $200.00 per week. Since he has a family of four, he will receive a FCA of $445 per month, for a total of $1,305.00 additional income per month that he can do with as he sees fit.

It is long past time to end the Income Tax once and for all,and support the enactment of the only bills before congress that would actually achieve that.

H.R.2525
SPONSOR: Rep Linder, John (introduced 07/17/2001)
A bill to promote freedom, fairness, and economic opportunity by repealing the income tax and other taxes, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, and enacting a national retail sales tax to be administered primarily by the States.
Refer: http://www.fairtax.org

the modification then enactment and ratification of:

H.J.RES.45

(Modified to prohibit all income, payroll, gift estate taxes as HR2525 calls for, or we will see European VAT style hidden taxes along with payroll excises to take over in the place of the of the current individual income tax(i.e. personal income tax) that Ron Paul amendment prohibits.)

And to keep em reminded that there is indeed a Constitution to pay attention to:

H.R.175
