lawrocket 3 #26 January 27, 2009 Yes, I think anyone could have tax problems. I remember reading a tax court opinion a while back where the IRS argued that a taxpayer who had prevailed in a matter where the IRS alleged he owed several times more than he did should not be entitled to an award of costs as the prevailign party. Why? Because Tax Code and regulations were so confusing that there is no way that the IRS can be blamed for its position. And to think, the IRS itself scratches its head. My best friend works for the IRS advising companies on matters of international tax and providing opinions on how the taxes are to be treated. The opinions do not shield these companies from paying taxes if the IRS determines they should have paid more - it only shields the companies from paying additional penalties. These aren't folks filling out 1040EZ's. QuoteIf he can't handle turbo tax i don't think he's smart enough to do much. I can't handle Turbo Tax and I pay someone else to do it. It doesn't mean I'm useless. QuoteRangel? Investigated for Ethics? Shocker. Murtha? Doled out scratch for a raided company. Hell, if they are receiving federal funds I almost ASSUME they are up to no good. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So then it's all right and they should get a free pass? No. It's like asking whether you can get sued. Anybody can sue anyone for anything at any time. It doesn't mean they'll win. My personal belief is that there isn't a driver on the road that cannot be cited for something during any one trip. It's the way things are. I'm not saying it's right or even good. I'm just saying it is what it is.

Oh wait obama is asking us to do this. Yep. Actually, everyone on both sides of the aisle are asking for it. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then its your fault.. for not getting involved and working to get the people you believe in somewhere that they can do whats needed. If you let the crooks run wild.. you get the government you deserve. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
