Continuing the list of 40 positions not to take on your federal income tax return because they have been deemed frivolous or fraudulent according to IRS: 

20.  A taxpayer may avoid tax on income by attributing the income to a trust,
including the argument that a taxpayer can put all of the taxpayer’s assets into
a trust to avoid income tax while still retaining substantial powers of ownership
and control over those assets or that a taxpayer may claim an expense
deduction for the income attributed to a trust, or similar arguments described
as frivolous in Rev. Rul. 2006-19, 2006-15 I.R.B. 749. 

Psst, remember:  This is a list of positions NOT to take!!
