Europeans when Americans tell them that compulsory taxes are evil as they dive through boxes upon boxes of printed receipts looking for that one dinner at Wendy's they want to file as a business expense.

Like dawg, tax month? Is it the month you get to decide what to do with your tax refunds? Smh.

Lol, as an actual IRS employee, people say more then they have to. You won't believe how many taxpayers tell me they made money, "under the table".

When you tell the tax officer its not under the table anymore...

My ex works for our state's revenue department and they don't give a fuck. The cases she would handle were honestly baffling how these people "made these mistakes". They were either incredibly stupid or it was intentional tax fraud (it was intentional tax fraud). If you get tagged for an innocent mistake it seemed like an easy process to get out.
