Great job imm!
The Lawful Money Demand, just like the Operation of Law, is TRANSACTION-BASED!
So what exactly are "ALL" of the LMD Transactions?
1. Gross Income - Primary transaction (including both W-2 and 1099 payments) NOTE: 1099 will require one to pay SSA contributions, as is appropriate.
2. Withholdings - Secondary, Derivative transactions
3. Net Pay - Resulting transaction
Looking at it this way, one can see why just demanding LM for only the "Net Pay" transaction is not consistent, logical, nor defensible.
I am glad you started 2015 correctly!
