| When you are already a lawyer, it costs nothing but your time and $60 to go to Tax Court. This pettifogger contested the early withdrawal penalty on $2,195 of an IRA distribution totaling $21,000+, the rest of which was used to pay his children's college tuition. The $2,195 was spent on a private high school. What is worse is that he did not cooperate with the IRS but rather had his audit in Tax Court. | |

| It looks like he was simply trying to delay paying for as long as possible. He was pretty lucky, its amazing they didn't fine him. | |
