Plot twist, the IRS employees fight over who gets to do his paper work because it's like a mobile-game style puzzle. They hate the normal ones because they're so monotonous. They compare the dick drawings.

No one has cake now. They must have eaten it all.

Even better, now they have to double check to make sure he didn’t perform tax fraud in the paper copy

I want to believe this is true.

Dudes who have more money than sense that risk their trading access and waste thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of their own time just to make paperwork for the world's (formerly) most cost-effective and most highly armed accounts-receivable department?

Lol, yeah. I want to believe this too. Imagine having the (formerly) cushy government job where you get to process all of this and if you fuck it up then the guy has to prove you wrong to contest your assessment. Hell, I'd audit the guy just to be thorough, that many zero-profit transactions probably smells like money laundering. XD

Lol, it's not. The IRS doesn't care about your brokerage sales unless you're liable for a capital gains tax, which wouldn't happen if you are not making a profit.

Plus, if they received a huge pile of paper about your trades that didn't include a 1099-b, which is literally just like 1/4 of a sheet of paper....they would just request it from your brokerage.

Anyone who thinks the IRS is some evil org has just never done their own taxes and listens to propaganda from billionaires who don't think taxes should exist.

If you've ever really had a legal problem with the IRS, you were more than likely purposely evading taxes and deserve the trouble. They are actually really reasonable to work with, and usually bend backwards to resolve the issue in several different ways before pursuing anyone legally.

I wish my reddit account still worked to post this in some libertarian sub.

Finally, something that makes it even harder for them to audit the rich

The Greentext won't load for me, so I will just respond to the title.

I also waste time too, anon.
