I might fudge on my own taxes, but not on someone else’s. I’ve seen what the IRS can do, and was a victim of them because of my now late husband.
Back in the day, he got a letter from IRS saying he owed $1200. He blew it off. Come time to sell our home and move from MO to VA and there was a $1200 lien on the home I didn’t know about. He was already in VA and I was stuck with the bank and the IRS. Because of that, we were a day late getting out of there, and I drove through a snowstorm with my two kids, a cat and a dog.
You can bet I was not happy to see him.
IRS just rehired 141 former employees who owe back taxes. They are scum.
