IRS.gov's "The Truth About Frivolous Tax Arguments"

IRS.gov has posted information detailing "some of the more common frivolous 'legal' arguments made by individuals and groups who oppose compliance with the federal tax laws." Called "The Truth About Frivolous Tax Arguments," the information is compiled in three sections:

I. Frivolous Tax Arguments in General

II. Frivolous Tax Arguments in Collection Due Process Cases

III. Penalties for Pursuing Frivolous Tax Arguments

One example, "Contention: The IRS must prepare federal tax returns for a person who fails to file" provides the reader with the law as well as supporting case law. In other words, this contention is shown to be false.

The information is also available in PDF printable format.
