I've been meaning to ask this question....

I've seen the examples of the 1040's & lawful money schedules on this forum.......but the bolded above implies I am to include all purchase transactions (and not just paycheck/deposits) on Line 21 also?? Meaning if I deposited 20,000 and spent every last cent of that, I would be claiming 40,000 on Line 21?

I know it's been discussed that when we spend Lawful Money, it goes back out "into the wild" as FRN's....so how does this reconcile, if at all?

VERY Good question! My above statement is intended only for "income-tax" related transactions - not subsequent "purchase" transactions. That "income" (and all "withholding" transactions directly-related thereto) is now "washed" clean by the 1040, and is now lawful money and transactions in that lawful money thereafter do NOT require to be washed again BY YOU when they are spent. The system, however, if IT still presumes and uses that money as FRN's, is responsible for making those adjustments, as the Trustees in their system.

IMO.

Does that sound right to you?
