Are Court orders to file tax returns uncommon?

It's not really worth my time

Nothing is worth your time because your time is worth nothing.

But, because you are obviously seriously mentally ill and refuse to seek treatment, we have a bit of fun at your expense because you insist on attention-whoring and we object to your attempts to bilk the public.

Interesting that while I continue to help people who are educated about people like you, that you can honestly convince yourself of that. When I have difficulty with the people I help, that will make me unhappy. When unhappy, I will consider your proposal that maybe pharmaceuticals will help get me back on my feet.

Care to give us the details of just one person that you have actually "helped"? Other than those who learned never to pay you before seeing the results, that is.

What's in it for me?

It's not really worth my time since I advocate different interpretations anyway;

Nor is it worth anyone else's time until you start advocating CORRECT interpretations, not the ones you WISH were correct.

The interpretations I advocate have been proven practicable and correct since 1789.

PH is only being compelled to commit perjury.

No, he is being compelled to not commit perjury by filing an accurate return. In other words, so long as Pete files an accurate return he will not be charged with perjury.

If Pete is concerned that he cannot himself correctly calculate his return, then he should hire a CPA or enrolled agent to do it for him. But of course he will not do this, because Pete has no desire whatsoever to file an accurate return as it would show him to be the two-bit scam artist that he is and hurt his book sales.

On the other hand, PH has shown that he will go to extraordinary lengths (e.g., ratting out his friends) to avoid being locked up for long, so he'll want to avoid being found in contempt of court.

[David Merrill]

Ergo you agree. The threat is not perjury. The threat is contempt of an order from the court.

If PH had committed perjury then they might simply charge him with that instead of ordering him to refile differently.

And, if there is noncompliance, is there risk of criminal sanctions [perhaps for contempt]?

Let's see. I was convicted on one count of "Intimidation," signed a laundry list of probation requirements, including spending 30 days in a Halfway House full of Oregon drug addicts. Part of what I agreed to do was to file and pay all income taxes. I completed nearly every agreement of my probation, except for the paying income taxes part. No sanctions for me.

So I would guess it depends on the nature of the case. It is not so cut n' dry as many here would have you believe.

"Always remember, never give money or personal information to a stranger." is something you'll never hear a collections agent tell their kids' classmates on Career Day.

Not yet, anyway.
