" That excludes this case, and pretty much 100% of SL business transactions. So solly, try bawwing on something else. from the quoted site: “To be eligible for an award under the new procedures, the tax, penalties, interest, additions to tax, and additional amounts in dispute must exceed $2 million for any taxable year and, if the taxpayer is an individual, the individual’s gross income must exceed $200,000 for any taxable year in question. ”

Get it through your thick heads people. Government is the problem, not the solution. SL ran fine without government for years. Its taught a lot of us (apparently not enough of us) the importance of self rule, self responsibility. Now its the responsibility of everybody to put a bullet in the head of the next IRS agent to show up in SL.

Direct deposited in their employee's RL bank accounts, no less. A "Linden Dollar" stipend is no more taxable than our weekly stipend is. Of course, I'm sure that won't stop you from submitting the form anyway. Just sucks you're wasting my tax dollars making some IRS employee process a frivolous claim. @Mark

Shouldn't we rather form a kind of United Federation of Planets to fight against the IRS? Please share with us your thoughts on this. Ann, do you really think that a planetary union will be enough?
