40 days of Frivolous Tax Arguments: Taxpayers can reduce their federal income tax liability by filing a “zero return.”

This one is at least a little creative. File a tax return showing no taxable income, and your taxes are zero. That would work if you really have no income. But since most of us have W-2s and 1099s and such, that “zero income” return is actually false… and you really do owe taxes.

Don’t you kind of wonder who is coming up with these arguments? I mean… how can they think it’s okay to just lie and say their income is zero? It makes no sense.
