Most people don’t lose to the IRS because they’re wrong

Most people don’t lose to the IRS because they’re wrong

. They lose because fear changes how they behave. I’m Beau Johnson. Welcome to yestohellwith.com. Years ago, my wife and I studied jurisdiction and taxation together. For seven years, we didn’t file tax returns. We believed the same things. Then we became targets of a criminal investigation. We had two very small children. Fear entered the room. She reacted one way. I reacted another. She cooperated with the government. She testified against me. And that taught me something most people don’t want to face: people don’t abandon beliefs because they’re false. They abandon them because safety starts to matter more than truth. That’s why I didn’t ask you to fix an IRS letter this week. I asked you to study where it failed—where it answered too quickly, assumed authority, and turned a clean record into noise. Because under pressure, most people don’t need more information. They need discipline. Tomorrow, we’ll talk about proper sequencing—not what to say, but when to say anything at all.
