MORE FRIVOLITY

January 15, 2008

The IRS released its updated list of frivolous tax arguments yesterday (Notice 2008-14). It added four more arguments to the list:

* Misinterpretation of the 9th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution regarding objections to military spending.

* Erroneous claims that taxes are owed only by persons with a fiduciary relationship to the United States or the IRS.

* A nonexistent “Mariner’s Tax Deduction” (or the like) related to invalid deductions for meals.

* Certain instances of misuse or excessive use of the section 6421 fuels credit.

That sounds like fun. Let's see what frivolous arguments we can come up with.

* Federal taxes are only due if for wages received by nephews of Polk County supervisors.

* The federal income tax is invalid because of the government's support for immoral water flouridation.

* I only have to pay taxes if Wesley Snipes has to, and he says he doesn't.

* You don't have to pay taxes if it keeps you from buying a new car annually.

* I refuse to pay federal taxes until the Roswell incident is adequately explained.

Feel free to add more in the comments. More coverage at Kay Bell's place.
