calling all tax attorneys...
so, you folks who have taken/are taking tax:
my income for 2005 was exactly $0. the only thing that even approximated income was my PLISF grant for my summer internship. do i still need to file, given that i can't be taxed on what i didn't earn? or would the IRS prefer to not have to deal with me this year?
that's right -- i'm asking fellow law students for legal advice. i figure if dice can post her last will and testament on her blog, i can ask my tax questions on mine. this counts as reasonable reliance, right?
