Tax Trivia: Politics & Tax Evasion
We have a winner! See comments!
Our next tax trivia question is:
In the midst of all of the current “politicians not paying their taxes” scandals, we forget that other high profile politicians have also been accused of tax evasion. So, a two parter (if you know the answer to both, please guess only once so that other folks have a chance to win, too!):
1, Which former Vice President was charged with tax evasion for failing to report pay more than $100,000 in federal taxes?
2, Which former IRS Commissioner was charged with tax evasion for failing to report his winnings from a bet?
Don’t forget: the first correct answer wins free CCH tax prep software.
What’s your guess?
