Former IRS Special Agent Answers Currency Transaction Questions
Dear Friends,
Recently a caller into my Agent For Truth radio show
asked about IRS treatment of foreign currency exchanges and transactions. In answering the question I admitted that I
knew very little about how the IRS views the treatment of foreign currency
transactions but I pledged to try to find out more on the topic and share it
with my listeners.
I have the following resources to share:
Robert A. Green, CPA, with offices in Robertsdale, Alabama,
appears to have a great deal of experience dealing with foreign currency
trading. Robert Green’s website is http://www.greencompany.com/
.
Mr. Green provides some general information about securities
and commodities trading here:
I also found a forum on the web where Mr. Green provided a
significant amount of input regarding IRS treatment of foreign currency trading
transactions:
Mr. Green has written a series of books on the topic, including
one called the “2013 GTT Guide: 2012 Tax Return Examples for Section 1256
Contracts, Futures & Forex Traders (Individual and Entities)”. This is an “e-book” Mr. Green offers for
$24.98 (regular price $49.95) found at http://www.greencompany.com/Traders/Guides.shtml
The above information wasn’t meant to be a plug for Mr.
Green – I do not even know the man. But
I hope that the above resources will help those who are dealing with foreign
currency issues to enhance their knowledge and satisfactorily fulfill my pledge
to provide more information to my loyal listeners who are searching for more
information.
I hope you will join me Saturday mornings by clicking on the “Listen Now Live” button on the right-hand side of the Truth Frequency Radio Network website and also please tell your friends about the show.
Don’t forget that I do have a “Twitter” account for those who prefer that particular method of communicating. My twitter account concentrating primarily on current events and government corruption, tax matters and attacks on our Constitution and Bill of Rights is @josephbanister. My twitter account concentrating primarily on spiritual matters and miscellaneous topics is @joebanister.
Inviting others to join my email list on the right-hand side of my web page or follow me on “Twitter” is encouraged and appreciated. You can view a sample of prior newsletters here.

-I
will continue to send a free Attorney Larry Becraft Research CD to any donor
who donates at least $20 to me for my radio show effort - just make sure you
mention that you want the CD gift. Don't forget that Attorney Becraft
(and some unsung heroes) created an incredible researching tool all in one
CD-ROM. He has compiled the most comprehensive, easy to access history of
the federal income tax laws I have ever laid my eyes on. The CD-ROM
includes more recent information such as a report from a 1975 investigation of
the IRS, Title 26 of the Code of
Federal Regulations from 1999, the entire Internal Revenue Code from January,
2002, Statutes At Large 111 through 121 (105th Congress through 110th Congress
- roughly 1997 through 2007) and earlier information such as the Revenue Acts
of 1919, 1921, 1924, 1926, 1928, 1932, 1934, 1936, 1938, tax regulations from
some of the aforementioned years, a mind-blowing 31 page "secret"
memorandum written in 1945 later declassified regarding the history of the
"Bureau of Internal Revenue" (which is the earlier name of the agency
we know today as the "IRS"),
the entire 1939 Internal Revenue Code, the entire 1954 Internal Revenue Code
(prepared by the Joint Committee on Taxation in 1992). Many of these
documents were created in word-searchable format so you can search for any
specific word you can think of. It would take hundreds of hours to create
such a resource from scratch and Larry's hard work has saved us from doing
so. As Larry told my listeners the last time he was on the show, it is
critical for Americans to learn more about what the tax laws actually say -
what the tax laws said in 1913 when the contemporary income tax came into being
and what the tax laws have said ever since then, all the way up to the present
day. Donations by check or money order are gratefully accepted and can be
made payable to "Joseph Banister" and mailed to me at 1805
N. Carson Street, Carson City, Nevada
89701. Keep in
mind that money orders (with an anonymous payor) or cash may provide a greater
degree of privacy to the donor than checks. Also, consider using 1805 N.
Carson Street, Carson City, Nevada 89701 as the return address on your envelope
rather than your own address because any information on the outside of a mailed
envelope is susceptible to observation/transcription by government
agencies. See http://www.answers.com/topic/mail-cover
for more information. Use your own discretion based on the degree of
privacy you desire. Attorney Becraft appeared on the Freedom Above
Fortune Radio Show on September 18,
2010 and spent the entire two hour program discussing and explaining
the contents of the CD - an archive of this show is saved at http://hearliberty.com/joebanister.html
on the left hand side of the page under the "Saturday,
September 18, 2010" heading.

-For
those who are unfamiliar with what has transpired to date in my battle against
the IRS and other agencies and
groups trying to silence my message, especially the recent acquittal on all
charges leveled against me, please visit http://www.ninehundred.net/banister
, http://www.joebanister.blogspot.com/
and http://freedomabovefortune.com/
(click on "IRS Lockout
Update"). You can also find archives of informative radio shows at http://hearliberty.com/joebanister.html
.
-Prayers
in support of this effort are always welcomed and encouraged. May we all
focus on giving glory to God and obeying His Commandments, especially the
Commandment not to take His Name in vain.
One “pet project” I have is to encourage film and television producers,
directors, writers, actors and actresses to refrain from using God’s or Jesus’
Name in vain in their films and shows.
I will use my “@joebanister” twitter account and the hashtag #LordsNameInVainWatch
to ask for your help in making public requests to film and television
personalities to stop using the Lord’s Name in vain while pursuing their
profession. Let’s work together and
speak up in defense of God’s Holy Name and let us shower God with our devotion
so that He will more abundantly shower our nation with blessings.
-Contributions
to my legal defense fund are also welcomed due to the significant costs of
defending against multiple and continuing government attacks. I also
spend a significant amount of my personal time fighting this battle and
speaking out. Your contributions help me keep the fight alive.
Checks or money orders are gratefully accepted and can be made payable to
"Joseph Banister" to assist me with legal expenses and can be mailed to
1805 N. Carson Street, Carson
City, Nevada 89701.
Money orders or cash may provide a greater degree of privacy to the donor than
checks so use your own discretion based on the degree of privacy you desire.
-Visit
http://www.ninehundred.net/banister
for more information as to how you can obtain information about my recent trial
and contribute to my legal defense fund at the same time as well as a biography
with exhibits (scroll down the page).
-My
sincere thanks to those who have prayed for the success of our efforts and/or
contributed to my legal defense fund. Your continued support is enabling me to
illustrate, in detail and in a very public manner, that the IRS
does not prevail against citizens because the agency adheres to the rule of
law, but that the IRS prevails
against citizens because the agency ignores the law, twists the meaning of the
law, and overwhelms the citizen with economic and legal burdens. In a school
yard, such tactics are called "Bullying". In a government setting,
such tactics are called "Tyranny". This effort is the equivalent of
ganging up on the bully and sending him to reform school where he belongs.

Chronicles 7:14:
And
my people, upon whom my name is called, being converted, shall make
supplication to me, and seek out my face, and do penance for their most wicked
ways: then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal
their land.
Exodus
20:7:
Thou
shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold
him guiltless that shall take the name of the Lord his God in vain.
Matthew
5:27-28:
You
have heard that it was said to them of old: "Thou shalt not commit adultery".
But I say to you that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her hath
already committed adultery with her in his heart.
John
6:51-52:
I
am the living bread which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this
bread, he shall live forever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for
the life of the world.
George
Orwell, 1984:
"You
are a slow learner, Winston," said O'Brien gently.
"How
can I help it?" he blubbered. "How can I help seeing what is in front
of my eyes? Two and two are four."
"Sometimes,
Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three.
Sometimes
they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become
sane."
