<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 7416462, member: 100459"]One thing that few know about is that the IRS and State Revenue Departments will spend a $100 to catch a $1 debt. It doesn't sound right, but they want us to be afraid to hide income, because they will catch you if they see even an effort not to report a $1 of income.</p><p>I was a very poor college student, married with 2 children in 1973. My children were in a day care because my wife had to work to support me while I was in college. I had been honest in doing my taxes for many years. Well, in 1975, I got the dreaded malila envelope saying I had my tax return reviewed and that my deduction for child care was disallowed because to deduct child care both parents have to be gainfully employed. Although my wife was working a full time job, I was in school and was only working part-time. I was told that because I was only working part time, I did not qualify to have child care. I appealed, but lost. I had to pay another $600 in taxes. The next taxable year, full time college students qualified for child care. Now, that tells you how close they look at your returns and now, with computers, they are even more fastidious tax auditors are, especially if a president is giving away trillions of dollars. I have to pay about $3K each year in taxes. I am so thankful for the EIPs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
