This contest is fueled by the following news:
The IRS owes over 1.7 million Americans over $2 billion. This represents the money due to people who did not file tax returns in 2002 and are entitled to refunds. Half of these people could receive checks in the amount of more than $570. In order to obtain the funds, these taxpayers need to file a tax return before the 2006 April 17th filing deadline. The IRS is encouraging people to check their records to determine if they might be due some of this money. IRS Commissioner Mark Everson maintains that the agency wants people to get the money that they are entitled to in the form of refunds. The IRS gives people three years to claim a refund. After that period of time, the money becomes the property of the U.S. Treasury.
WASHINGTON, DC - Many a moon ago, Albert Einstein, a man of pure genius, couldn't figure out his taxes. He tried to develop his own theories of deductivity, but broke 2,042 calculators in doing so. His last dying words were: "This [preparing my tax return] is too difficult for a mathematician. It takes a philosopher." That's when the IRS hired Stephen Hawking who sat down and studied the IRS tax codes. After years and years of toiling and frustration, he developed the IRS Bingo Card. And now he spends his time in a wheelchair and speaks via a computer. His comments on this entire debacle? Simple: "Piss off."
For years we've been kept dependant on oil from the Middle East. Most of the money they get from us, goes to fund terrorist activities against us. It's about time we send them a few terrorists of our own. And who better fits THAT bill than the IRS!
In efforts to improve public relations, an IRS video game was released to show the public just how fun it is to harass good and honest taxpayers, so that they would understand where the IRS is coming from.
