Would You Turn In A Tax Cheat For Cash?


If your best friend or a family member was filing a fraudulent tax return, would you turn them in? I mean, if they are not paying their fair share, that means everyone else is eventually going to have to cover it for them…so should you turn them in? The IRS is trying to convince you that you should indeed turn anyone in that you know is cheating on your taxes with cold, hard cash. If the amount owed is $2 million or more, (including fees, penalties, the actual tax owed), you can get a 15-30% fee. Is it worth turning in your rich grandmother?

I guess it depends on how close you are to her…

I am not sure this will reap great rewards for the IRS, as I think most people hate them anyway and would not want to get involved in something like this, especially if they did not know for sure if there was anything in it for them. I hear on the radio the ads for the “software police” where you get rewarded with cash for turning in your company for using stolen/illegal computer software, but that is against a company, not your grandma.

Would you turn someone in if you knew you could get 15-30% of $2 million dollars or more?

And The Winners Are…..

You, the people of the personal finance world, have spoken…and you want to let everyone know that you are here to save them. At least, that is what your choice in television programs says about you as a group. Seems most people that responded have something in them that makes them want to be the hero, the good guy, the one who is here to help..

Coming in first place is 24, a show about saving….Never quite sure what, but Jack is always trying to save something or somebody.

Coming in second place is Heroes, which admittedly I have not ever watched, but keep hearing great things about. And I do know that is is in fact about heroes…

Coming in third place is House. Yep, more saving, the doctor syndrome.

Coming in fourth place is Lost…hmm, what could this mean? I started off loving this show, and I still watch every week, but I am getting kind of irritated with it, as I don’t think the writers even know what they are doing anymore. It is nowhere as interesting as the first and second season were.

And rounding out the top five shows chosen by those of you poking around the personal finance world is…..

#5, The Office. That boss, Michael, was my boss at my last job. Do you blame me for quitting now?

See what I mean about heroes and being the good guy?

Thanks to everyone that sent in their favorites. There are a lot more TV shows that were sent in, but I wanted to stick to the Top 5. I appreciate you all taking the time to fill out the poll!
