Final answer:

James having a tax home does not depend on his travel frequency but on the primary location of his business; the claim that he was never away from his tax home during the year is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

James's job requiring frequent travel to different states does not negate the presence of a tax home. A tax home is defined as the general area or city where a person's primary place of business or employment is located, irrespective of the location of the individual's residence. James can maintain his tax home even if he travels regularly, as his tax home is the place where he regularly conducts business, not necessarily where he spends the majority of his time. Therefore, the statement that James was never away from his tax home during the year is false.

Concerning the historical exercises referenced:

  • Exercise 7.3.1: The colonists' objection was indeed more about the application of tax money than the principle of taxation itself. The answer is true.
  • Exercise 5.4.2: The Trustee system in Georgia was indeed advised by a royal governor who lived in Savannah, making this statement true.
  • Exercise 9.3.5: The Three-Fifths Compromise did address the issue of representation and taxation about the counting of slaves. The answer is true.
  • Exercise 11.1.5: The Louisiana Purchase did indeed double the territory of the United States, making this statement true.
