Today is Tax Day. Got the new forms?

Pompano - 4-15-2013 at 11:39 AM

I have just received the latest tax forms from the IRS.
It's the new short form with only 2 pages.


Page 1. Enter your yearly income on this line $________.


Page 2. Send it to us.


P.S. I know how this JOKE will probably get hijacked into something political, but can we please just try to keep it humorous, instead? No right wing, no left wing...por favor?

If you have any other favorite IRS jokes, please post them.

Personally, I'm already too poor to be asked to pay taxes. But for those of you feeling the pinch, here's the tip of the iceberg of the story of the people who aren't feeling the pinch at all. B of A, Exxon, FedEx, etc etc. Those companies historically support liberal causes, right? Don't waste too much time trying to change my mind, I won't be following this to OffTopic. :lol::lol:

Udo. You should be peeed. I have had the same accountant since 1981 when I started my business. Her firm is in Anaheim. Let me know if you need her number for future use. She is the best.

I will be heading over to the main post office tonight for my annual ritual where I send the IRS and State my final payment postmarked 11:59 4/15. :lol:

A pizza shop owner was being audited by the IRS. The deli owner asked, "What is wrong? Why am I being audited?" The IRS auditor replied, "You have got two trips to Europe down as business expenses. What is your explanation?" The pizza shop owner replied, "We deliver!"



A tax preparer, uncertain as to whether a client's wife was entitled to the an additional exemption for being sixty-five years of age, sent the husband an e-mail requesting the information. The next day he got an answer back: My wife says she is not 65, nor will she ever be!

Mr. Smith goes to the doctor's office to collect his wife's test results.


Receptionist: "I'm sorry, sir, but there has been a bit of a mix-up and we have a problem. When we sent the samples from your wife to the lab, the samples from another Mrs. Smith were sent as well and we are now uncertain which one is your wife's.

Frankly, that's either bad or terrible."

Mr. Smith: "What do you mean?"

Receptionist: "Well, one Mrs. Smith has tested positive for

Alzheimer disease and the other for AIDS. We can't tell which is

your wife."


Mr. Smith: "That's terrible! Can we do the test over?

Receptionist: "Normally, yes. But you have an HMO, and they

won't pay for these expensive tests more than once.

Mr. Smith: "Well, what am I supposed to do now?"

Receptionist: "The doctor recommends that you drop your wife off in the middle of town. If she finds her way home, don't sleep with her."



A man about to have a heart transplant was offered the choice of either a 26 year-old marathon runner's heart or the heart of a 62 year-old IRS agent. He picked the agent's heart because he said it had never been used.

The Tax Code of the United States has become so complicated and confusing that over half of all taxpayers now have their tax forms prepared by professionals. There are two good reasons to call the IRS help line for your tax questions instead. First it is FREE. Second, if you do not like the answer you can just call again later, the answer will be different every time.

Taxpayer describing his dilemma...

I am involved in a big dispute with the IRS. I say my car should be 100% deductible, the IRS says 50%. I use the front seat for business and the back seat for entertainment.

Late one night a mugger wearing a ski mask jumped into the path of a man and stuck a gun in his ribs. "Give me your money," he demanded.

Indignant, the man replied, "You cannot do this - I am an IRS agent!"

"In that case," replied the robber, "Give me MY money!"
