- javert 6y agoHey, this is a really good question. Any tax lawyers here? Has anyone tried to bring this to court?
- octoberfranklin 6y agoI would guess that the Taxpayer Bill of Rights is one of those silly "does not create a private right of enforcement" non-laws. As in yes, it's a law, but nobody who cares about it has the right to enforce it in court.
- javert 6y agoI would guess that too, but it would be nice to hear from someone who actually knows.
- heimatau 6y agoThe IRS is the law. If you have specific questions, hire your own advocates.
- javert 6y ago> The IRS is the law. If you have specific questions, hire your own advocates. This is such a mean, nasty thing to say to me. What's wrong with you?
- ac29 6y agoThe question is: "At any time during 2020, did you sell, receive, send, exchange or otherwise acquire any financial interest in any virtual currency?" and right #7 says: "Taxpayers have the right to expect that any IRS inquiry, examination, or enforcement action will comply with the law and be no more intrusive than necessary" Whats the confusion? The IRS has a legitimate power to ask taxpayers about their income, in compliance with the law. Asking the question doesn't appear to be "more intrusive than necessary".
- freeAgent 6y agoPurchase and ownership of cryptocurrency is not taxable. The question is overly broad since it covers activity and situations that do not factor into tax liability.
