Tax Home vs. Residence Home

I asked you to back up your comments with legal citations. If you've really been with the IRS for 31 years and hold some meaningful position, you would have something meaningful to contribute other than just trolling.

That would be a valuable contribution to this forum. We could all learn something from somebody with such credentials.

 

I've asked you before to cite that regulation. Please refer to the specific regulation from the Code of Federal Regulations that says you can't post anything so support your position, but can slam somebody else's.

The poster who's prepared returns since the 70's has posted no legal authority to support his position, nor has he posted anything that rebutted mine. The best he's come up with is something to the effect of "this is the way we've always done it and it's worked." That doesn't mean it's the best way to do it, or that it will always hold up.

Nonetheless, as least he's given something to support his position. That's more than can be said for your posts.

His position is, in essence, that the trucker has no business tax home because his main place of business (post of duty) is "in the truck." [FONT=DejaVu Sans, sans-serif]Revenue Ruling 54-497 (1954-2 C.B. 75, 77) concluded that railroad employees' [/FONT][FONT=DejaVu Sans, sans-serif]"[/FONT][FONT=DejaVu Sans, sans-serif]post of duty[/FONT][FONT=DejaVu Sans, sans-serif]"[/FONT][FONT=DejaVu Sans, sans-serif] is not aboard the train, but at the terminal.

In [post=[/FONT]1578748[FONT=DejaVu Sans, sans-serif]]Mr. Brown's legal opinion[/post], there's an analysis which shows that, while there are some differences in the occupations, they would not have a bearing on the tax home issue. Therefore, following that logic, the post of duty for a truck driver with a home terminal would be at the terminal, not in the truck. Example 1 in Publication 463 comes to the same conclusion.

Perhaps you have some legal authority that would come to another conclusion, or even another IRS publication. Please post it, or the regulation that would prohibit you from doing so. That would be helpful to us all. Until then, I have serious doubts about your credentials.

It appears that you can't rebut anything I've said with anything to back it up, so you now resort to personal attacks. I researched Mr. Brown before I associated with him. That was the only unhappy client post I found.

If you really do work for the IRS, you know how many other tax attorneys have many more. Even with the best attorneys, the IRS doesn't always rule the way taxpayers would like.

So far, you have done nothing to document your credentials, and consistently reinforced the conclusion that your posts are trolling.
