<p>[QUOTE="Owle, post: 934948, member: 22004"]As long as a good faith effort is made the government will probably not bother you. They want paperwork, give them paperwork. They have limited resources to sift through all the data to try and find discrepancies. Eventually they will get the computers to know exactly how much to bill the taxpayer. If you ever go to Canada, you will see how thorough regulation is. Not much tax evasion in that country, they are even tougher in enforcement than the US. What we need is a government that is thoroughly accountable to "we the people", and workers who are not paid outlandish wages and benefits. </p><p> </p><p>I spoke with a tax attorney at the Baltimore show recently who said that the $600 reporting rule has always been the law just rarely enforced. On the statement that taxes were never designed as a basis for criminal action, I can think of a lot of reasons why the government should have this tool, not just Al Capone and his ilk. I have known some non-filers who were much in need of such action.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
