There's something you should know about the computers at the Internal Revenue Service.  The IRS Commissioner announced that the IRS computer system is fundamentally inadequate--just when the Service has been assuring us citizen taxpayers that it's ready for Y2K.   Based on my experience as a tax attorney, I'd say it was never ready for Y1K!

This is not good news.  If the IRS can't keep its records straight, there are a great many ways it can cause problems--particularly for you network marketers who, as business owners, file more forms than the average taxpayer.

Let me give you a few anecdotes that illustrate the dimensions of this problem.  Then I'll tell you how to protect yourself against it.
