You won't want to miss this one.
I wonder if this has to do with the ability to shift the burden of proof.
I believe that IRS audits are inherently punitive and do imply wrongdoing from a human's perspective, not a legal perspective. I believe the IRS knows this and uses it to its advantage in order to achieve compliance. While privacy coins are legal, if you use them you are more likely to be audited/punished for using them, but not by any legal means.
I would help him by enabling him to do as much as he can himself.
We are being taught what suits the government.
It's important to critically evaluate information and consider diverse perspectives to form a well-rounded understanding. If you have concerns, engaging in open dialogue and seeking multiple sources can help you develop a more informed perspective.
The IRS can just send you a letter

Well, coinjoins don't look like normal transactions, they look like coinjoins. I guess it depends on if you think you can lie to their face and get away with it. A field audit usually goes on for 2-3 years, and they don't really let up. If they think you are lying then it becomes a crimal investigation instead of a financial investigation. Just being honest with them is emotionally exhausting because of how intrusive they are. I'm guessing you've never had IRS agents audit you for all your crypto transactions before.
