Spotted today in the IRS website. How many people does this actually apply to? How many giant checks had to be returned before this disclaimer was added to the site?
(note: this was on the estate tax page)

That’s as good as these ones.
This apparently included embezzled funds…so make sure you claim those!
(Ilegal bribes are also listed as a non-deductible expense)

I got this offer from Chase and thought it was such a terrific example of predatory bullshittery I had to share:
“With My Chase Plan you can choose a duration that works for you and pay over time for this or any eligible purchase of $100 or more— for a fixed monthly fee and no interest”

much easier to get criminals for money laundering & tax evasion than the actual crimes (I just did my training on this for my contract job - nice thing, they need me to do the training for compliance, so I get paid for watching the poorly acted videos)

I sent the snippet to my husband and said “FYI before you do our taxes this year”
and he said “I pay by account debit, so we should be good”.
I wish I had his wit.

@Panda yes thankfully since moving out I have remedied the pizza deficiency adequately!

From the Carolyn Hax chat:
My mom used to get really upset at what she perceived as my half-assing. I’m 48 now, have a PhD and a thriving and influential career, and I still think there is very very little that’s worthy of my applying my whole entire ass. I’m not interested in burning myself by whole-assing stuff that will be fine if I half- or quarter-ass it.
