There are a ton of people here telling you their accountants telling you otherwise, mine included.
I think it would be much more helpful if you tried avoiding stating this as objective truth, and state more like your non-accountant opinion is that's how it works.

That also is an issue. US tax law is so damn complicated people spend time on understanding taxes instead of science.
Even the people who professionally do taxes (Accountants) can barely understand it and are debating it. It's utter insanity

Just another misinformed internet commenter. You are free to draw your own conclusions.
