Newsweek Magazine (Volume 137, Issue 16), April 16, 2001

NEWSWEEK asked three former IRS commissioners to review parts of his (Botkin's) workbook. They found nothing , but stopped well short of endorsing his methods. Margaret Richardson, IRS commissioner under President Clinton, deemed the material "straightforward," much of it right out of IRS publications. The two others felt Botkin took liberties. Alexander, commissioner during the Nixon administration, saw "strong implications that you can get away with deducting a lot of personal expenses" by using dishonest justifications to call them business. Says Sheldon Cohen, IRS commissioner under Lyndon Johnson: "Many of the things he talks about are completely legitimate... but he's pointing out ways to fudge." Both men were concerned, for instance, about people who take lavish vacations to visit rental properties, and whether child employees really do any work. Despite footnotes citing case law, neither is certain all the deductions would hold up under heavy IRS scrutiny.
