Tax Audit Mugs

'Keep a stiff upper lip, Mr. Haskins. That's all you get to keep.'

"Apparently, your only dependents are Ben & Jerry."

'Go ahead. Bring on your computers.'

IRS: 'You can't have it both ways!' 'But I don't want it either way!'

I checked with the Inland Revenue IT people, they're pretty confident a computer virus can not eat a paper tax receipt.

'Your money? -- does it or does it not have 'United States Treasury' printed on it?'

'What do you want first - The bad news or the even badder news?'

"I'm curious about your dependent children, Scamp, Flop, and Spunky."

Is this your idea of a joke, Findlay...?

Flat tax - equal burden?

"Other folks have to pay taxes, too, Mr. Herndon, so would you please spare us the dramatics!"

Tax Collector

"Well, if it's a fairy story you want, here's a good one that arrived at the office today."

You want an extension? Good heavens, man, we haven't even paid for Reagans boondoggles yet!

'How do you expect the Government to bail you out of your financial crisis if you don't pay your taxes?'

IRS agent to professor scrutinizing tax return under microscope: 'Still looking for that tax loophole, professor?'

'Watch what you admit to. He once tried to fine one of my clients for looking a gift horse in the mouth.'
