    This girl managed to piss me off and plan out her tax fraud in one easy step.

    I had to sit way in the back of the bus today, as I got to the stop later than usual. It's cool, I got a seat.

    Well, it was cool, and then the Trash with the Metro PCS phone sat down behind me. I pull out my textbook, trying to drag myself through the current chapter (this book sucks, BTW, it's disorganized, lots of typos, and the writer has never practiced law or worked as a paralegal but he's got his JD so he's obviously qualified to write a book explaining how to do a bunch of stuff he'll never do</digression>), but the Trash will not shut up. She is talking about how "hecka" cool this one car is, but she doesn't need that much power, so she'll probably get this other car, but she's got to get her bills paid, but some "hustle" she's doing should get her about $7,000, which will pay off her bills and leave about $3,000 towards the "hecka" cool car, but she owes the IRS about $1,000, but she forgot to claim her welfare friend's kid on her taxes, so she's going to do that, so she should only owe them $400 instead, then she has to get together with her friends so she can borrow a kid to put on her taxes this year to cut what she owes, because she didn't get arranged in time to borrow the kid she used last year, but she'll get someone's kid, even though most of them have already been borrowed by other people to cut their taxes, and she'll call him back when she gets to the other side of the Bay.

    I pulled out my Sansa and was cranking Faith No More, Green Day and Everclear, trying to drown her out. It was difficult, as the Trash seemed to believe that everyone on the bus wanted to hear her conversation, because why else would you be discussing defrauding the IRS at 90 decibels?

    You know, the IRS has a program where you can rat out people defrauding their income tax returns. You even get a 20-30% bounty on what they collect, IIRC. Too bad you didn't have enough information to turn her in.

      Unfortunately, I got off the bus before she did and I've never seen her before.

        It's stories like this (the claiming others' kids part) that make me extra glad only Hubby and I have access to our daughter's social security number. You need that for claiming dependants, right?

        Pity you didn't have enough info on her. Talking too loudly and about all the wrong stuff.

            Wow. I don't think it's ever entered into the mind of a decent person to muck around with the IRS; advertising it to the world was pretty dumb of that girl. I wouldn't want them after me, if they got Capone and Snipes, they can get anyone!

                  Yes, she said, "hecka." She also said, "hustle," though I didn't put quotes around it.

                    The IRS used to just require you to write down the names of your dependent children, but at some point in the last few years, they changed it so you now need to list SS#'s, someone pointed out that as soon as they required that, several thousand children suddenly disappeared from the tax roles, wonder why?

                    Wouldn't surprise me if the IRS keeps a database of who claims who and purposely looks for duplicates

                      That might be a bit difficult, there were two A****** K***s in my niece's primary school class.

                      On the other hand, I guess they could compare tax records to school records. My niece' teacher could confirm the existence of two identically named* kids, and who their parents are.

                      2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
                      3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
                      4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

                        It was more like 200,000 children. Reffered to, tongue-in-cheek, as the year the IRS slaughtered 10% of the population.

                        And yes, the IRS does cross-reference dependants. You will get a letter requesting clarification if someone else is claiming your dependants that year. It has been the bane of many divorced parents, both claiming the children.

                          I think he meant through use of Social Security/ Social Insurance-type Numbers, to prevent that kind of confusion.

                            It would be cool if there was an IRS agent sitting near her. "Excuse me ma'am, I couldn't help hearing your conversation. May have your name so I can fill out the indictment form?"
