Not really. The IRS is enacting the law Congress gave them, as it's supposed to. You can disagree with that law (I do) but I don't see them stepping outside their constitutional authority

In spirit, yes, but I think this is a matter of debate and ultimately will need to be decided by the tax courts. The states are following the letter of the law but definitely circumventing the spirit of the law. This really comes down to how much leeway the Federal government, more specifically the tax courts, gives the IRS.
