After five years of research, sweat and tears, I finally got my pay day...$157.73Yup, that right folks! I got $157.73 from the California Tax Franchise Board! Don't get me wrong, I cashed the check (and already spent it! ha!) but technically they owe me another $600... wonder if I could write this off this year, as a donation or something? hmmm, now that is an idea!Sigh, good times...

Sorry it has been too long, I know... hope you guys missed me!Here is a good story to get me back in the swing of things... remember violence is not the answer and having your IRS agent whacked does not solve anything... seriously...Prosecutors say Nowak wanted to hire a hit man to kill the revenue agent because he owed about $300,000 in personal income tax obligations. He also had four years'

So I finally heard from the Franchise Tax Board of California... or is it the Californina Board of Tax... urg, who knows... whatever... so I heard from them and it looks like they grudgingly agree with me that I do not really owe them any money. Although the letter is literally written in some code that is almost impossible to understand... but I THINK I am getting a refund of the 2007 tax refund

Could taxes be the answer to ridding third world countries of tobacco addiction? Taxes used for good?... nice idea...The final prescription offered by the WHO is also the most powerful one: higher taxes. Studies show that raising tobacco taxes by a tenth may cause a 4% drop in consumption in rich countries and an 8% drop in poor ones, with tax revenue rising despite lower sales. The agency wants

Well played, Wesley Snipes...Snipes and two co-defendants, a delicensed accountant and a tax protest leader, were indicted in 2006. Snipes faced six additional counts of willful failure to file a tax return from 1999-2004, a period in which he signed two contracts for more than $10 million on sequels in the "Blade" trilogy. He was acquitted on three of those and convicted on the others. He could

So, the State of California Franchise Tax Board has contacted me again... to let me know that I still owe them money... SAY WHAT?! Is a $1000 really worth this much aggravation?

Ahhh, isn't it sweet... the IRS cares about the environment too!The specific amount depends on the hybrid you bought. If you got a Ford Escape SUV, you could get up to $3,000. A Honda Civic garners $2,100. And a Mercury Mariner SUV earns you up to $3,000.

And he said that to be effective, an economic stimulus package would need to roughly represent 1 percent of the gross domestic product — the value of all U.S. goods and services and the best measure of the country's economic standing.http://

Watch out, tax payers! The IRS is after you! Well, at least 13,000 of you. And it is not going to be pretty...It is a new IRS audit initiative aimed at individual taxpayers with the purpose of updating the government's fraud-detection measures and eventually boosting the tax take. Only 13,000 taxpayers nationwide will be audited in this round, but if the process is like earlier IRS random audits,

Whew, I have been a major slacker the last few weeks! Sorry and please know that Super Audit Girl is back and with glad tidings... :)The Internal Revenue Service says hundreds of thousands of dollars are owed taxpayers. The problem? The agency can't deliver the checks.Close to 100,000 refund checks get returned to the IRS as undeliverable, likely because of address problems. So starting

An "embarrassment" you say, Senator Charles Grassley? Tell me more...It said the IRS could not find 10 percent to 14 percent of case files requested in two prior GAO audits, and that the IRS could not come up with 19 percent of the case files when the Treasury Inspector General, in an audit, asked for a random sample of tax records."This is not a new problem," said Senate Finance Committee

Lets face it, the IRS is as lazy as the rest of us and is more than happy to pass off work onto someone else. Whatever, they are human too! But passing audit and debt collection to private collection agencies is a scary prospect... take it from me, sometimes even the IRS gets things wrong and the idea of a private debt collector showing up on my doorstep is not a pleasant thought...Anyway, the

Just keep in mind, these special audits are in your best interest, I mean the IRS is just trying to make your life BETTER... don't you get that?

So since auditing the All Saints Episcopal Church did not pan out... the IRS thought they would fall back on the old "you influenced the 2004 election with your innocent little sermon" trick... well played, IRS... well played...In early June 2005, the IRS notified All Saints that it was investigating the parish's tax-exempt status because of a sermon its former rector, George Regas preached on

Handy IRS tip of the week (hey, I am here to help!) - install a garage door, it is tax deductible! Have a great day!It pays to upgrade your garage door to a more energy efficient model before the end of the year. That’s because the Internal Revenue Service has declared garage doors eligible for a tax credit under the Energy Tax Incentives Act, provided the door meets specific criteria.http://

So you know, the IRS would really appreciate it if all of you slackers would fill out your income tax forms correctly. It is making their job of auditing you very difficult. Seriously, what is wrong with all of you!?

Let me get this straight.... so the IRS is trying to motivate its auditors to intimidate us into paying by threatening not to pay them (or even dole out pay cuts)? No wonder my auditor looked so desperate. Sounds like a great place to work!http://federaltimes.com/index.php?S=2718983

Ok, so there is this $300 billion tax gap and IRS just had a meeting on the hill to discuss this. I have attached a rather boring article about these proceedings.Basically, the IRS is desperate to close this gap = more audits. Also, it appears that they are under-staffed and plan to continue using third party collection agencies to force tax payers to pay up their due to the government. This
