A well-written rebuttal to a position or opinion one has posted is a rebuttal that’s moderate in tone, amply supported by cites to authoritative references, and gently corrects the author in a manner that does not impune the author's intelligence. Such a rebuttal is a joy to read and strengthens your belief that people can disagree rationally and in good faith.
I’m sorry I can’t say that about yours.
You may want to correct the IRS here, too, (and they do prepare income tax returns for others), when they state in Pub 17: “Gross income. This includes all income you receive in the form of money, goods, property, and services that is not exempt from tax."
And, even more directly:
"You must include all taxable interest in your income on your federal income tax return, even if you don't receive a Form 1099-INT or 1099-OID."
