Hope you're voting too Sunshye!

I know that when my friend with AIDs stopped doing his income tax after taking his retirement fund, IRS grabbed the last crummy $23 dollars from his bank account. His lawyer intervened so they didn't grab any more from his Social Security money, since that's not allowable from SS by law. But IRS sure never EVER replaced his $23 bucks. IRS don't play games and that's Totally True Reality!

So, probably the FIRST question IRS might ask of ED:

Sir, how have your supported yourself these X-amount of years?

I would love the IRS to audit him. I hope it makes the news when they do. Karma baby!

I work for the IRS and know all about tax liens and levys for unpaid taxes. But I'm not sure what you're all saying. Did Dick say he hasn't filed a tax return in years, or that he has been under-reporting his income? There's a huge difference in that.
If he hasn't filed a return in years, the IRS will file one for him... without any deductions or exemptions and he will be responsible for not only the taxes owed but stiff penalities and interest which could go back to the last 10 years, per year.

If he filed his returns but under reported income, it's an entirely different story. If the IRS has confirmation that he received income he didn't report, he'll be responsible for all back taxes (including penalities and interest). That's where a thorough audit would come into play... but sometimes it's not always possible to prove this income was ever received without 1099's and W2's to back it up.

His 2007 winnings will not open up a floodgate for his past earnings. If his past earnings or non-reporting is in question, he's probably already in a heap of trouble for that. But I'm not so sure that's the case.

I sort of had the idea that IRS would never pay any attention to my returns because they are so boring. I always file on time and pay any amount due immediately including the quarterly payments for next year.

Imagine my surprise when I got a notice last month that I had UNDER reported my 2006 taxes. They billed me for the additional amount and charge me a penalty. I called my CPA and had him give it a look to see why this had happened. Well, it turned out to be my CPA's fault because of a typographical error. He told me to go ahead and pay the tax amount but he would re-imburse me for the penalty because it was his error.

So, they do pay attention, folks. Make no mistake about that.

I ended up voting for both...lol. At first, I voted for Dani due to comps, but then changed my mind after watching the bunny comp again and voted for Dick on a different computer.

Meagain, at first I thought Dani was a bigger target than Dick throughout the game and her comps saved her butt, but then I remembered Dick rattled the houseguests before each, saved her with his POV, then carried her through the end. Dani wouldn't be there w/o her dad or if Eric had used the POV. I know Dick would have been evicted over Dustin w/o AP and I didn't care for Dick's strategy, but when all is said and done, he did make a bigger impact game wise than Dani, IMO.

Oh wait I just read the part about being taxed and Dick not paying any. It would be sweet just to see Dick in jail with Hatch where he can be all real with his mouth in jail. I may have to vote for him now. Giggle giggle

Carmil, Thanks for the knowledgeable IRS input. What I was referring to was (from somewhere I read in the feeds) Dick saying that he hadn't filed income taxes in a few years because he's a bartender working "under the table". So if he's not reporting wages, he's also not reporting tips. If he suddenly comes into a $500k windfall, wouldn't IRS be asking some questions about previous years taxes? Or watching him like a hawk. Would be funny if someone found a YouTube of ED's comments! I'd rather see IRS hauling off the loot than either of these contenders.

Teacuppy, welcome to the "Help Dick Pay His Taxes" Party! This could prove interesting.

I've never heard Dick say he didn't report or pay taxes or work "under the table" but I suppose thats possible. I do know that he said he is in the process of getting a Irish citizenship. I was kinda interested because I had looked into it to. You have to prove your linage to an Irish born person. Maybe he thinks if he goes to Ireland he will avoid taxes. I doubt it he doesn't really seem like that guy to me. <100> You just never know about people. I was told you can't judge a book by it's cover.

I run a small business and haven't filed. It's not a problem and I'm not doing anything illegal. I've nothing to report and I have my grace periods, etc. all under control. Leave the guy alone - he's a decent person.

Messalina, Anytime you receive a W2 or 1099, a copy of it goes to the IRS. If your tax return doesn't report the income the IRS already knows you received, the computer automatically sends it over to the underreporter dept. Many times it is caused by an unintentional error, but the taxes and interest will still be due, although the penalty may be waived if it was an obvious mistake or a first time error.
Many people think that some small winnings at a casino or a small reward can be overlooked... but all your income (besides SS & disability) are taxable and eventually they'll catch up with you. (That was super nice of your CPA to cover your expenses due to his error, many do not).

Biscotti - if Dick filed his returns and his W2's on file agree with what the IRS has on file... he should be okay. As a bartender, tips must also be reported, but I don't think anyone can "prove" you under-reported your tips as long as you claim your tips rationally on your return.
