IRS and Tax Jokes

1. The tax advisor had just read the story of Cinderella to his four-year-old daughter for the first time.

Suddenly she piped up, “Daddy, when the pumpkin turned into a golden coach, would that be classed as income or a long-term capital gain?”

2. The difference between the short and long income tax forms is simple. If you use the short form, the government gets your money. If you use the long form, the tax advisor gets your money.
3. A couple of weeks after hearing a sermon on Psalms 51:2-4 (knowing my own hidden secrets) and Psalm 52:3-4 (lies and deceit), a man wrote the following letter to the IRS:
“I have been unable to sleep, knowing that I have cheated on my income tax. I understated my taxable income, and have enclosed a check for $150.
If I still can’t sleep, I will send the rest.”
4. What is the difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion? The jail walls.

7. “How have you managed to buy such a luxurious villa while your income is so low?” asked the IRS auditor.
“Well,” the taxpayer answered, “while fishing last summer I have caught a large golden fish. When I took it off the hook, the fish opened his mouth and said, ‘I am a magical fish. Throw me back to the sea and I’ll give you the most luxurious villa you have ever seen’. I threw the fish back to the sea, and got the villa.”
“How can you prove such an unbelievable story?”
“Well, you can see the villa, can’t you?”
8. For every tax problem there is a solution which is straightforward, uncomplicated and wrong.
9. How do you know you’ve met a good tax accountant?
He has a loophole named after him.
10. A nervous taxpayer was unhappily conversing with the IRS auditor who had come to review his records. At one point the auditor exclaimed, “We feel it is a great privilege to be allowed to live and work in the USA. As a citizen you have an obligation to pay taxes, and we expect you to eagerly pay them with a smile.”
“Thank God,” returned the taxpayer. “I thought you were going to want cash.”
11. The kid had swallowed a coin and it got stuck in his throat, and so his mother ran out in the street yelling for help. A man passing by took the boy by his shoulders and hit him with a few strong strokes on the back, and so he coughed the coin out.
“I don’t know how to thank you, doc…”, his mother started.
“I’m not a doctor”, the man replied, “I’m from the IRS”.
