~~~ without fail, I would be on the phone w/ the IRS talking blue-in-the-face; asking question after question; "What do I do w/ this?" and "Where do I apply that?" -- and in many cases making sure everything was documented (quarterly I would be in 3-way conversations lasting over 90-minutes). I was reporting every penny; cash sales at the FUN/ANA show and all cash during a few club conventions... The instructions they gave me could not be found (by me, anyway) anywhere in print... and my accountants (a father/daughter team) guaranteed me that I would never, ever be audited (except randomly) for being so honest w/ them.... More like being dumb, in my case.
Those days have come to past, but during that 10-year period I was worry-free by simply doing what was right; like you said.
In other words; I know what all the IRS is and support them 100%... for I am convinced they are there to help.
Thank God for Walmart... The Banana is 44c this week... and though the Green Bell Peppers are no longer 50c each; they're $2.99 a pound in Publix...
