I’ll say this to start: quote me from any other thread if I contradict myself.

Why do you believe that tax accountants and tax lawyers are all so incredibly wrong about the way to handle income taxes? You complain about Famspear's "secret information" but his information is WIDELY accepted by somewhere around 99% of the population of the United States.
I do not believe this at all. I did say 80% of professionals in any field were dangerously incompetent. The difference between stepping on my lettuce and sending an innocent defendant to jail is huge.
Farming is a way of life, not a profession.
It seems that it's you who believes that you have special information, and that if you just make up the right story about how you received your money, you'd be tax free.
The huge difference between me and you is I’m not selling anything. It seems like “making up the right story” is all the tax system does, like all other political endeavours. It’s a perfectly constructive program but where does it attach? If it was as simple as ‘showing income’ it wouldn’t be that hard to find, and there would be no alternative. As we all seem to agree there is an alternative financial structure that precludes gross income, shouldnt’t that be the only advice for at least new businesses and people starting out on their own?
I AM tax free. And yes, the revenue man” isn’t interested in the likes of Farmer Giles, and i don’t expect him to be. That’s mostly because I live outside the system. My biggest financial goal in life is to need no money at all. To simply grow, pick, or eat an apple, and NEVER to “sell” it. That is some wicked spells.
You've admitted that you have no formal schooling in accounting or law. You've never worked as a tax professional. Why is it that you think you're right and those with education and experience else is wrong?
Everyone on the board has so far agreed with me:
There is always a taxless alternative.
That the original equity is routinely discounted.
That accession is different from succession.
That Income is only derivable by its basic concept. You can't normally accrue Income, it's a contradiction in terms since Income is a benefit derived from a 3rd party.
That the same transaction can equally be categorized in some nonliable manner, and any limitation to this is artificial. Since it can’t be found in nature, it has to come by attachment.
If I’ve shown that posters make wrong statements, well, that’s because the statement are wrong. It has nothing to do with “knowing more” than anyone else, professional or otherwise. You just don’t like it that the Truth is being pointed out, so you try to disparage somehow te messenger.
Like one young poster remarked, “a Blunderbuss can be wielded by anyone.” It can indeed.
If you showed me the results of your method
please do.

Never happened. Quote me anywhere as an example.
[/quote]I've never run into any IRS problems. Never had to pay late fees, interest, etc. Never had to go Tax Court. Never had any threat of going to jail for failing to pay my taxes. Do you think that my chances of running into legal trouble would increase if I followed your advice? [/quote]
I don’t sell anything. Post some legal advice I’ve made here. You people have a hard time distinguishing between “sales” and “neutral observation”... which might go a long way to explaining the dissonance of “income” and “private”, because it’s the same thing. Its about the difference between something that is merely Hypothetical, like Income, and something that is Real, like Secured Property.
You apparently are devoted to a proposition: that Its Very Important to steer people in a certain directions. Well I do know, that’s the law school idea but it’s really it's the All School’s Idea. Its called scholasticisim. Its a Roman Catholic doctrine. Its UnAmerican in the original sense and contrary to all men.
Why do you suppose that people who look for the magic bullet to get out of taxes end up ruining their finances (and sometimes go to prison) while those who follow the advice of the tax professionals here do not run into those situations?
Because they love their freedom more than their slavery. At least they tried.
