“Hi Michael, Thanks so much.”

Your posting was a great motivator to me. I’ve done some more research and I think you’re 100% correct. I also checked with a tax attorney (with whom I went to college) and she said the same thing. The key is getting documentation of rules/statutes/etc. and your posting did that quite well. The Treasury guidelines are still in place.

“Thanks again! Keith”
