Priceless! Why is it that so many who think we should increase taxes go so far to avoid paying their own?

Ah, this one goes in the file to share with friends and family!

That what happens with an audit. You get a letter (I got 2 of them 3 years ago) saying there was a dispute over your tax bill. It didn't mean I was avoiding paying taxes, it meant they were questioning a filing and wanted my records and it went back 5 or 6 years. They announced they were disputing (based on their calculations) what I owed. My accountant took care of it, they were wrong and what it amounted to was 'someone else' made an incorrect filing that, when corrected, exonnerated me. So someone could have correctly stated that I 'had a tax issue' (true) and from there jumped the shark to, 'I was avoiding taxes' (untrue) - which would be a flimsy grasp for something that isn't. Nonetheless, people do this.

The reason it goes back so far (and makes it look like you've been avoiding for so long, is that the IRS (like Social Security) is soo fucking slow, they're years behind. That's also why you need to keep ALL tax records fopr at LEAST 7 years.

Nice aftempt, and technically you are correct, but given Mr. Buffett's very public statements on wanting to be taxed more, why would he be fighting the IRS?

Based on his public statements, he should cease his efforts and just pay more. In fact, given his very public statements, you would think he would voluntarily set an example and just pay this money. He acts like it is his money.
