First sucky tax scammer of the season:
A CW related this story:
SC filed at another office that was owned by the same franchise owner. He omitted a couple of 1099's that showed that he made a total of 19K more he reported on his return. For those who don't know better: Just about any tax form is CC'ed to the IRS.
SC had what we euphemistically call the "love letter" aka CP 2000 or a Notice of Proposed Adjustment for Underpayment.
That notice showed him owing an additional $8k (Ouch!) in back taxes, penalties and interest.
SC wanted CW to 'fix it'. SC gave CW a scrap of paper 'Business milage [SIC] 150 miles daily 12 months'. IOW he wanted to claim that he racked up 54750 miles--a trucker maybe, but a sales rep...yeah right. To top it off he wanted CW to prepare an amended return for free. Yeah right--not gonna happen.
CW filled the amended return out, per SC's request--he now only owed $3K in back taxes. CW called the SC and he balked at paying since he still owed.
