Most taxpayers are aware that there are blatant mistakes that will cause the red flags to fly at the IRS. Yet there are those who are willing to get very creative at tax time to save a little money. The typical areas that most attempt to play dangerously in are fairly consistent. However, others take their creativity seriously and not only trigger audits, but lots of laughs.
The IRS is not the best audience for comedy routines. So don’t try any funny business with them. And do keep in mind that the IRS recently announced it will not require taxpayers to amend their returns or pay back any extra money received in their refunds due to incorrect health care-related tax information on Form 1095-A.

Filing taxes is no laughing matter, as anyone who’s tangled with the IRS knows. However, some taxpayers have wildly creative ideas of what constitutes a legitimate claim and come up with some that are outrageously funny. They’re generally fatal too, if they make it through to the IRS.
Here are some of the funniest claims I’ve seen in a long time.
Have you ever heard of a “water computer”? Me neither until I saw this on AccountingToday.com. One CPA actually had to tell a client they could not claim their sailboat as a “water computer”!
How about plastic surgery, Botox treatments, and monthly visits to the hair salon?

Mistakes happen. We do our best to avoid them, but we’re all human and things do slip through the cracks of our minds! At tax time, though, we want to be super human especially if we’re owed a refund from the IRS. So, whether you prepare your own taxes or have them prepared for you, you need to be diligent in going over your return carefully before sending them in.
Remember, if you’re owed a refund, even a careless mistake such as not dating your return can delay that refund check. And, if you owe the IRS money, you’ll need to send it in with your return.

Make a list and check it twice. Or print this out and keep it with you while doing and reviewing your taxes. Mistakes, especially these common ones are responsible for prolonging tax season and may lead to an audit. While not making these mistakes will not keep you immune from audit, tax returns without mistakes will get your refund more quickly and bring tax season to a speedier, uneventful close.
This edited excerpt comes from a March 9th U.S. News and World Report online article. (www.news.yahoo.com/avoid-top-10-tax-mistakes-130629111.html) These are the kinds of mistakes I hear from people and prospective clients all the time.

I am writing about the IRS telephone tax scam again because it is not going away anytime soon. In fact, the scam is gathering steam and speed. According to CBS News, “The people behind this scam are calling at least 10,000 Americans every week.”
The IRS continues to issue alerts on irs.gov about this massive phone scam. However these scammers are absolutely ruthless. So don’t let your guard down, even if you’ve already filed your tax return. If anyone calls saying they are from the IRS, hang up the phone. If they leave a voice message do not return the call.
