Yep, you are correct here...but with this continued recession....I think that they may get a little more aggressive of trying to figure out a convoluted solution. I really hope not, but time will tell. Not necessarily from the sales perspective, but the purchaser's perspective. I mean, technically the IRS can currently crack down on you for it.
