Your posts are starting to read less like someone who wants to be correct, and more like someone who just wants to win.If you want to take a position contrary to a code section, regulation and TC case, that's fine, but I hope you speak with your client about the risks and adequately disclose the position to mitigate both your and your client's penalty exposure.Best of luck Michael.
