Tax funnies

[GeorgeStGeorge]

As tax day nears, I'm just wondering if any of you have humorous stories or information.  Due to a job change, this is the first time in over 15 years that I have to send a check, rather than get a refund.  Checking the IRS website to make sure I do it all correctly, I saw this gem:

We can't accept single check or money order amounts of $100 million or more. You can submit multiple payments or make a same-day wire payment.

How fortunate that I owe less than $100 MILLION!!!!

That's funny, George.  But the type of people who might owe >$100m are also the sort who have trusts, corporations, "charitable foundations," etc and various other tax dodges so that they pay little tax.

 

I know everyone hates paying tax.  But I spent a bit of time on the dole/claiming social security/unemployment allowance (a pathetic amount) and then set up a small business as self-employed.  I was quite happy when I first had to start paying tax.  It meant that I'd managed to acquire a liveable amount of income!
