Thanks to knowledge I've learned from David Merrill & Michael Joseph I have been redeeming lawful money for years now and not paying income taxes on that income. Yet many of us still need to file 1040 tax returns for various reasons. Maybe to refute IRS presumptions, obtain a refund due, or just help family members with their lawful money returns. As I get ready for filing I thought we could have this thread to help (or hinder) each other with this year's filing.
