No they did get someone to do their taxes now; this just happened like a week ago. And the IRS doesn't care since they owe my parents money so what do they care if it ever gets filed? I think they should be hasseling the company for not getting their act together.tinkerbelle said:I'm surprised the IRS isn't hassling them. They still haven't found an accountant to do their taxes though? I mean, it's like a year overdue. You're so funny psycho

As a percentage, more rich do file returns than other classes. They just get the benefit of better advice and are frequently able to lessen their tax burden more. As for cheating the system, sure lots of people do so, but then again lots of people commit lots of illegal acts. Doesn't make it smart, and for the better off, the costs almost always outweigh the benefits.trinitrotoluene said:I was not advocating anything. However, people do cheat the system all the time. And yes, some rich people do just elect to not file. However, I always do.
