Since I know that DEWM is going to be worth a lot of money in the future, I emailed the IRS with a straight forward question about capital gains tax. I used their official form and directed it to the correct department. This was their response.

"Since we are not funded to provide tax planning service, the question you are asking is not within the scope of our services."

Are they serious? The very government agency that writes and enforces tax code is unable to answer a question about their own policies. No wonder people have such a negative opinion of how our government operates.

I ended up calling Turbo-Tax and they provided me with the answer to my question in less than 15 seconds. The IRS has a budget of 11.3 billion dollars, yet they can't answer a simple question from a tax payer. Our government at work? I don't think so!
