Often Oregon refers a tax payer to the IRS for further audit after this very caring for it's own people "progressive " State finished auditing them. Keep in mind, Oregon is known far and wide by Tax preparors , lawyers, and do it yourself tax filers as one of the most
" brutal tax auditors " extant. Every minute cost of doing business,and deduction claim has to be fully backed up by a paper trail to China and back. Well, yesterday my wife had one of those referals... a divorced,single mother owns a child care business that has 18 children in her care, with 2 employees to help . After this state audit, she was presented with a tax bill of $12,000+. after the audit it was determined that the tax payer owed the Federal Government a total of only $1,100. Then my wife showed her what she needs to file with Oregon that will legally reduce her Oregon tax bill to less than half of what she was billed for. This tax payer then almost kissed my wife's feet as she signed "agreed" to the IRS and wrote a check for the amount owed.

Yesterday, my wife received a IRS case involving money transfer to S. American countries by a money transfer company. Here is just a sampling among the listed transfer people were ... 1. a person with NO SS # , NO W-2 or any other varifyable income transfers $32,000 . 2. a person with NO SS#, No W-2, no other varifyable income, but gambling winnings at an indian casino of $ 15,000 transfers $38,000 . 3. a person with No SS #, NO W-2, and NO varifyable income transfers $26,000. The people as well as their addresses receiving the funds are shown in several S. American countries , so they will be interviewed by US legal teams and Revenue Agents will investigate leads in the US. . Etc.. Are we having fun yet ?

Yesterday's audit ... A self prepared tax return using turbotax ... Husband is a union finish carpenter being audited for the past 3 years with $80,000 annual income, un-reimbursed expenses of $50,000 so $30,000 income. He can't provide any evidence of what the expenses were ... so NO deduction and back to $80,000 taxable income. Wife claimed to be a Real Estate advisor to anyone who was flipping forclosed homes during obama years. She had NO income commission from her claimed advise but she did buy one forclosed property to flip, but ended up with remodeling expenses and the home being foreclosed on her too as the home didn't sell ( seems that the buyers were not impressed with her novel remodeling efforts ). So, 3 years ago she changed gears and started a non- profit holistic animal rescue . She has NO business plan, No seperate bank account, operates out of her home that she claims to use 60% of for tax deductions. She only has 2 dogs in her shelter for the last 7 months. She offers her services to other animal rescues and goes to private farms to offer holistic , advises raw diet as well as to NOT vaccinate any animal ( same claims as unefective as the no- vac group ) but to use supplements and herbs that she will provide. When asked what she is paid for her advice, she said that she tells her clients to pay what they think what it is worth ( she received a whapping $50 in 2 years ). Since neither one could provide any receipt or evidence of re-imbursement for expenses etc. , they were sent home with a bill for taxes due of $15,000.

Based on the age of this thread; if any of the “culprits” went to jail they may be about ready for parole by now!
