Tax Guru-Ker$tetter Letter

Urban legend still floating around...
I have addressed this hoax previously, but it is still being passed around the net, as in this email I recently received from a client in the PRC.
Subject: Senate Bill 2099
Kerry
Senate bill 2099 will require us to put on our 1040 federal tax form all firearms that we have or own. Do you know anything about this?
My Reply:
That's a hoax that's been floating around the net for about a year now. The 2009 forms are in place and they don't have anything for reporting firearms.
Snopes.com has a good explanation of it.
In case you haven't seen a copy of the actual 2009 1040, here is a blank one you can look at. You'll see that there is absolutely nothing about firearms.
Kerry
Follow-Up:
Thank you for the info.

Obama Tax Returns
Drudge has a link to download the 43 page pdf copy of the Obamas' 2008 income tax returns, showing their AGI of almost $2.7 million.
Minor picky point: This tax return is for 2008, before they took over the White House. Yet, look at what they showed as their occupations for 2008:

Draft 2009 1040?
I have worked up a draft of what our 2009 1040 could look like if the DemonRats were to win back control of the Executive Branch.
Full Form (2 page pdf)
