Stealing From the Disabled Worked…For a While
Virginia and Derma Miller, mother and daughter, had a good thing going. They took identities of the physically and mentally disabled and filed tax returns on their behalf. Of course, those returns all had refunds, with those refunds finding their … Continue reading

Identity Thief Gets 17 1/2 Years
Frantz Pierre, formerly of Parkland, Florida but soon to be residing at ClubFed, was sentenced last week to 210 months at ClubFed and must make restitution of $906,556. What did he do? I’ll let the Department of Justice press release … Continue reading
The Most Terrifying Words in the English Language Strike Again
One of my favorite quotes is from President Ronald Reagan: The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help. Yet another instance of this appears to be striking with the IRS. … Continue reading
Math Is Hard, IRS Edition
I was so, so tempted to write, “Math Is Hard, IRS Addition,” but I held off. Why? Because it turns out that it wasn’t 104,000 people who were victimized in last year’s “Get Transcript” hack, nor was it 334,000 taxpayers. … Continue reading

Let me give some helpful hints to anyone who is thinking of engaging in a life of crime. First, don’t brag about it to others. Live your life in a nice peaceful way and blend in. Second, if you do … Continue reading
If You’re a Sole Proprietor, Get an EIN…Now!
Most business entities have an Employer Identification Number (EIN) that they use. An EIN is for a business what a social security number is for an individual: It’s their taxpayer identification number. Some sole proprietors must have EINs (if they … Continue reading
Would You Deliberately Mail a Check to the Wrong Address?
Seriously, would you? Assume you owed a customer $1,000. The debt goes back over a year, and now you’re ready to pay. The customer notifies you that she’s moved, and provides you with her new correct address. How many of … Continue reading

The Walking Dead Come Back
No, this isn’t a post on the next zombie movie. Yes, Las Vegas does have a Zombie Apocalypse Store (humorously, near one of my clients). But I digress…. Instead, we’re going to focus on a CPA from Northridge, California (in … Continue reading
