	In response to those who have asked about the availability of the
IRS code:

	I got a copy of the IRS code at one of the local law school
bookstores, but it should be available through any bookstore. One version,
the one I have, is a 2 volume paperback set published by the Commerce Clearing
House, Inc. Chicago, Illinois. Its republished yearly. Volume I is the more
useful volume. I believe the same company also publishes a single volume
of IRS Regulations, which is sometimes needed to interpret the code. Finally,
a good publication by the IRS is Publication 17, "Your Federal Income Tax", 
which was recommended to me by someone who actually does IRS returns for a 
living. This publication is free and I believe is updated yearly. 

	Keep in mind that the code is thick, convoluted and obscure and having
a copy doesn't necessarily mean you'll find unambiguous answers to your 
questions, as should be apparent.
