Just how stupid can a person get?
Did he think the IRS would just forget that he quit filing?
Amish?
I don’t know. DeSousa is a Portuguese name.
Being a high official in Baltimore could mean he is Black.
How do some of these people get away from filing tax returns for 5-10-15-20+ years, before the IRS catches-up with them? Is
their return at the bottom of the delinquent pile?
I think all IRS employees are kept at the bottom of that delinquent pile, actually.
How the hell do you just decide not to file your taxes for years? What did he expect?
Sometimes if the IRS determines the taxpayer owes no money or is due a refund, they just close it as not worth pursuing.
not could but ‘would’
“My only explanation is that I failed to sufficiently prioritize my personal affairs,” De Sousa said.
Would that we could all use that excuse and be taken seriously.
One would think staying out of prison would be a high priority for most people.
Al Sharpton is immune from tax law.
Sheesh. Am I the only honest person left in the US. Including all freepers of course. Seems like the norm is to lie, cheat and steal.
Kings can’t bother.
That said, can somebody clarify whether it is an offense at all not to file if one also does not owe any taxes. It sounds like he owed quite a bit.
“Amish?”
Yep, -5 points. That was too easy.
Yes, Amish.
I’d claim I didn’t intend to break the law by not filing. Worked for Hillary.
It is technically illegal not to file but if you owe nothing it will usually not be prosecuted.
I FORGOT
Taxes are rassis.
DeSousa was hired from within after a “national search” failed to find better candidates so they picked the asst. chief who was going to clean up the department.
Uh huh.
