I agree. My state's tax department (PA) vaguely alluded to me being able to exempt them, so that is what I am doing. Not trying to break the law, just trying to do my taxes.
Little did I know when I bought them on the secondary market that I would have to figure this out. Buying them on the primary market with an OID is much simpler on the tax return. That is what I am doing moving forward. I also don't purchase anything with a K-1 with post tax money for the same reason.
