Tax Denier Wins Damage Claim Against IRS Levy – Kind Of
There are a significant number of people out there who argue that most ordinary Americans are not subject to income tax. Although they always lose on those arguments, and Ms. Music is no exception, when there is actual litigation, this case is evidence that they may be swamping the system. Ms. Music went 15 years without filing. The strains on the IRS budget make it more likely that more of them will be able to slip through the cracks. The courts, quite rightly, will require the IRS to dot all its i’s and cross all its t’ s, as they are doing in this case. Nothing is requiring Congress to provide them with the resources to do that.
IRS Chief Counsel Checks 1986 Committee Reports To Give Break On Foreclosed Real Estate
A foreclosure on real property subject to recourse debt comprising the taxpayer’s entire interest in a passive (or former passive) activity is a fully taxable transaction for purposes of §§ 1001 and 469(g)(1)(A), regardless of whether any COD income from the cancellation of recourse debt is excluded under § 108(a)(1)(B). Thus, the losses from the activity are treated as not from a passive activity under §469(g)(1)(A). Additionally, these losses are not reduced by any excluded COD income under § 108(b)(2)(F).

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.
