IRS Lists 4 New Frivolous Positions to Avoid
The IRS recently published a notice naming four new frivolous income tax claims:
-
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.
Needless to say, do not take any of these positions on your return!
