Grandfather Beats IRS In Tax Court Without Lawyer

Grandfather Beats IRS In Tax Court Without Lawyer

They mystery to me is why when the IRS decided to drop the penalty, they did not drop the case entirely, since, by dropping the penalty, they were indicating that they did not think Mr. Roberts was lying and, given that, it’s pretty clear that he wins.  That the deficiency notice got issued in the first place is perhaps not that surprising given the amount of fraud there is surrounding the earned income credit.  That may have turned the people working those cases into a bunch of cynical bastards.  It wouldn’t take me long. It is worth noting that it was very wise for Mr. Roberts to have entered into the written agreement with Ms. Moody rather than having the arrangement be informal. That extra piece of evidence may have been what won the case for him.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
