Missing from this is the simple factual point:
NOBODY KNOWS WHAT TAX LAWS APPLY AND THE DETAILS OF THOSE LAWS.
The U.S. federal tax laws are so complicated, no honest taxpayer can actually figure them out.
IRS agents DO NOT NEED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FIREARMS as recently authorized by federal law unless they plan on having many gun battles with taxpayers.
Exactly
You could have 5 different IRS agents help you with your taxes and end up with 5 different results.
If only one is ‘correct’ all others are tax evasion. Prison for you comrade!
