They can examine your colon if they really wish to.
Right now they are asking, keep refusing and if they really want them they will audit you or serve you with a warrant.

If you run a corporation within the United States you had best pay your company taxes. The law clearly states corporations doing business within the corporation of the United States must pay taxes. The hahaha8220;half asshahaha8221; loophole is it doesnhahaha8217;t say a person, a natural person, doesnhahaha8217;t have to pay taxeshahaha8230; Lots of shit, best not to play in that area unless you are very up on what to do.
However, that doesnhahaha8217;t mean you have to let them bully you around. Get a lawyer, even advice helps. Then, you may want to decide if worth the possible fight. They can be assholes and corporations have no real power over the IRS.

i doubt that want to 'see your stats'.. thats irrelevant to them.
"after some investigation we noticed you made $534 the last year at pornmegaboobscash.com.. what happened with this income stream?" The tax guy doesnt have time for bullshit like that. |

If you think they are really "hawking" you - get an agent/CPA. Same the world over - tax authorities can investigate anything they want and ask for evidentiary docs. Tho you may not have under-declared, they are entitled to evidence of this - including how many cartons of milk you consume in a week and how you paid for this.

If the IRS comes after you they're going to want to see bank statements, not affiliate stats. |

Best advice here is to get an accountant or lawyer or both to deal with this for you. Don't even talk to them if the accountant or lawyer is not with you.

There is some irony (in particular re the US) when a US citizen does not live within the US, (eg may be a resident of another country) - they still want annual filings of worldwide income and taxes can be payable on this back in the US.

Get an attorney that specializes in tax/audit scenarios. If the IRS wants something, they are likely asking because they have reason to believe it will lead to undeclared income. We just finished an audit and they went through everything. Give them what they want if you have nothing to hide, otherwise it can go on for a long time. Better still, get representation.

only two things in life are certain. Death and Taxes. with that in mind, IRS can make you wish that you were dead. Show them the fucking stats, and get it over with.
And asking for advice on a forum that any one can read, could cost you more than its worth.

What did the irs say about selling porn? Are they weirded out by it? I know it's perfectly legal, but I just thought it would be awkward explaining about "stats" and "sponsors" to anyone, let alone IRS. I would have nervous breakdown during the interview.
I'm already anti social so talking to any stranger about just about anything would give me a breakdown already, but explaining porn would just be so much worse. |

Only my based on past experiences with em - it's down to the investigating agent bottom line. Some think "porn merchants" hide millions under the bed and they are on to something. They usually find *something* to claim, but if the accounting is correctly - it's usually peanuts.

I wouldn't hand over my affiliate stats, but I'd hand over the equivalent. Namely, invoices from every period from those sponsors. In the case of an audit, they do have the right to look at your income sources. But if you're in an audit situation, I wouldn't go without a kickass attorney and accountant.

I think you should definately talk to an attourney. It's strange that they want to see stats. You could be signed up for 100 programs. Damn.

If you don't have anything to hide, why are you sweating? Show them the stats, and move on... but better yet, get a lawyer to advice you on these issues, will save you a lot of headaches and money....

Never fuck with the US Government. To show you their power. >>>>
Government lawyers tried to confiscate the gold tooth caps known as "grills" from the mouths of two men facing drug charges, saying the dental work qualified as seizable assets. They had them in a vehicle headed to a dental clinic by the time defense attorneys persuaded a judge to halt the procedure. "I've been doing this for over 30 years and I have never heard of anything like this," said Richard J. Troberman, a past president of the Washington Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. "It sounds like Nazi Germany when they were removing the gold teeth from the bodies, but at least then they waited until they were dead." Prosecutors had a warrant to seize the gold dental work, according to documents and lawyers involved in the case. But they eventually abandoned the effort, saying they mistakenly thought the grills were removable. The customized tooth caps, popularized by rappers such as Nelly, are made of precious metals and jewels and can cost thousands of dollars for a full set. Some can be snapped onto the teeth, while others are permanently bonded to the teeth. Flenard T. Neal Jr. and Donald Jamar Lewis both have permanently bonded grills, their lawyers said. Neal and Lewis, both charged with several drug and weapon violations, were taken Tuesday from the Federal Detention Center to the U.S. marshal's office, where they were told the government had a warrant to seize the grills. They called their lawyers as they were about to be taken to a dentist, said Miriam Schwartz, Neal's public defender.

There are loads of laws used to justify almost *anything*. There was the old blue-rise hair lady who got $10K "confiscated" off her while on Amtrack. (There is some bylaw where a "govt officer" can just seize money when it's $10K or more from any passenger travelling on Amtrack). She is still waiting for the funds to be returned - and no indictment on any offense for the last eight years since this happened. It's much nicer to not live under a regime like that.

I hope for your sake you have been 1099ing your affiliates! I don't think that you would need to show them something without a subpoena. My advice, though, is to use good accountants and have all communications directed to them or legal counsel. lol

There is only one post in this entire thread with the correct answer. Since you ignored it I'll post it once more to do you a favor. If you ignore it again, your loss, enjoy federal pound you in the ass prison ;)

Sure, tax audits are basically using banking data and accounting papers to reconcile fund movements - and any other info which may be useful. You'd be surprised how things start to get more meaningful and "relate" when there is reason to believe there is a problem or information has come from third parties.

If there are deliberate bullshit figures on tax filings, including the old ATM cash withdrawals of un-declared revenue and the tax regime is not to your liking - get the hell out to a tax-free country. It's a much nicer lifestyle
