What's crazy is how difficult it is to actually file "correctly." Ive done it wrong probably every time and still completed. This was the first year I said phuck em.
Especially when it comes to my small business, I reject their term "income"..... that's my property plain and simple. They arent allowed to define it.
This video is on track but it's one that oversimplifies the case by saying "Federal Income Tax Only Applies Inside the 10-Mile-Square District of Columbia". When we make the nexus too narrow, the government attacks us by showing the nexus is broader than that but without ever defining how broad. Except by reference back to the IRC.
"Income" is never defined, and the Supremes said it would be precarious to define, but categories of income are well-defined in the IRC and you need to review the definitions to determine the nexus and applicability of each. The government is incentivized to call it "correct" filing when they get enough money from it not to quibble over it. But correctness is according to the law. If you have an information return (look it up), someone has alleged to the IRS that you have income. If that allegation is correct, you should assess and pay the tax; if incorrect you should correct it on the record.
Make them come and take it?
