One of your options is "well, Mr. Auditor, that's all very nice that

think that, but I think you're wrong, and I'm taking the deduction."


It's more like: we're not going to allow it and you owe us another
$40,000.

Yes, the IRS has that last word (and many of the first, second and middle
words as well).

Actually, there was a recent decision (2000? around there, somewhere)
that, in the event of a disagreement, the onus is on the IRS to
demonstrate where the law/tax-code has been violated. Prior to that
time, while "innocent until proven guilty" was a fine concept, the IRS
had largely run amok bullying people.

Judge: "What proof do you have that this deduction is not legitimate?"

IRS Agent: "Your honor, we said so!"

Judge: (Turning to defendant) GUILTY!
