IRS Humor

I know this is usually a some what serious blog but I couldn't resist these jokes and humor. I hope know one is offended. I mean to just lighten things a bit.

Q: Ever wonder why the IRS calls it Form 1040?A: Because for every $50 that you earn, you get $10 and they get $40.

Income tax forms should be printed on Kleenex because so many of us have to pay through the nose.

The latest income-tax form has been greatly simplified. It consists of only three parts:1. How much did you make last year?2. How much do you have left?3. Send amount listed in part 2.
"65% of people say that cheating on your income tax is worse than cheating on your spouse. The other 35% were women." --Jay Leno

"The IRS said today anyone with a refund coming from their 2001 taxes will lose it if they don't pick it up by April 15th. If it is more then three years they will just keep it. How come it doesn't work that way with back taxes?" —Jay Leno

A new arrival, about to enter hospital, saw two white coated doctors searching through the flower beds."Excuse me," he said. "Have you lost something?""No," replied one of the doctors. "We're doing a heart transplant for an income-tax inspector and want to find a suitable stone."

What did the terrorist that hijacked a jumbo-jet full of I.R.S. agents do?He threatened to release one every hour if his demands weren’t met.

Post Office just recalled their newest stamps:They had pictures of IRS agents on them, and people couldn’t figure out which side to spit on.

Politic's And Taxes: Sarah Palin VP

Sarah Palin is John McCain's choice for Vice President and for a couple reasons. One of the biggest is she knows how important taxes are to a community. Sarah Palin ran on a campaign of " Tax Cut Promises" so she is a veteran in this arena. At the age of 28 she started her political career. She won on the promise to cut taxes. Here are quotes by her,or on tax issues that she has had to tackle.

John McCain and Sarah Palin have the same views on taxes. They want to give tax cuts to small business owners to stimulate the economy, and encourage people to buy American and do business here in the United States.
