Ziggy by Tom Wilson & Tom II for May 19, 2014

“Planet Justice,” replied Ziggy. “I believe you know my tax accountant and my lawyer? They’ll show you the way to my rather significant refund.” "

I know Ziggy knows the answer to that one. According to yesterday he is from the planet: ‘dirt’.

I have always been treated quite well whenever I have had dealings with the IRS. This year, for a variety of reasons, my taxes were rather more complicated than usual, and an IRS agent helped me work things through. I have heard the horror stories, of course, but my own personal experiences with the agency have always been quite good.

Many of my clients like to receive a large refund because it is used like a forced savings account. Of course it pays no interest, but then again neither do banks any longer.

Considering that we have the IRS, we’re probably on the evil side of the Mirror Universe.

You only get a refund if you have a bunch of kids and paid no taxes.

Gotten a return every year. Put some of my return in a new savings account this year.

The IRS gives refunds. I take mine and apply it to the next tax return.

The big thing about filing your return, as Jay Leno has said, is that you avoid red flags. For example: Do you have any money left after paying your taxes? That’s a red flag!

I get one, love it, no problem. If you don’t… what’s your problem? p.s. no kids either.
