Jokes That IRS Doesn’t Want You to Know


There was a man who computed his taxes for 1997 and found that he owed $3407. He packaged up his payment and included this letter:Dear IRS:Enclosed is my 1997 Tax Return & payment. Please take note of the attached article from the USA Today newspaper. In the article, you will see that the Pentagon is paying $171.50 for hammers and NASA has paid $600.00 for a toilet seat.

Please find enclosed four toilet seats (value $2400) and six hammers (value $1029).

This brings my total payment to $3429.00. Please note the overpayment of $22.00 and apply it to the ‘Presidential Election Fund’, as noted on my return. Might I suggest you send the above mentioned fund a ‘1.5 inch screw’. (See attached article – HUD paid $22.00 for a 1.5 inch Phillips Head Screw.)

It has been a pleasure to pay my tax bill this year, and I look forward to paying it again next year. I just saw an article about the Pentagon and ’screwdrivers’.

Sincerely,

I. Getscrewed Everyear

Pledge of Obedience

I pledge obedience, to the bureaucrats, who are the United States government. And to their salaries, for which I pay. One nation, deep in debt, irresponsible, with the slavery of income taxation for all.   – Tomas Estrada-Palma

Balanced Budget

Alexander Hamilton started the U.S. Treasury with nothing — and that was the closest our country has ever been to being even.   – Will Rogers

“It’s tax time and President Bush is saving a lot on taxes this year. He’s writing off his entire second term.”

–David Letterman

“Last night in his speech, President Bush called for a complete overhaul of the tax code. He said he was shocked to find out that some millionaires in this country were still paying taxes.”
