fwiw, I DID avoid it....but not the legal way. I certainly fit the criteria you listed but didn't include UBTI data as I've never heard of such a thing. (ok ok, save it for the judge).

These days, I only know what TurbidTax allows me to know. I input no data whatsoever for my IRA. Sort of a Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy. I feel very comfortable in filling in numbers that I know are incorrect. And yes, even though these are random errors and omissions, they have consistently worked in my favor. In any case, I've never been called on it.

I used to be a purist and would manually grind through the return, box by box, spending hours looking up obscure regs and talking to the IRS on the phone. The tax code is so convoluted now that 98% of the population can't possibly understand basic portions of it.

Call the IRS? Forget it....that's where all the C- students found jobs.
