Letter to the IRS

[Dobie]

Dear Internal Revenue Service:

Enclosed you will find my 2008 tax return showing that I owe $3,407.00 in taxes.

Please note the attached article from the USA Today newspaper; dated 12 November, wherein you will see the Pentagon (Department of Defense) is paying $171.50 per hammer and NASA has paid $600.00 per toilet seat.

I am enclosing four (4) toilet seats (valued @ $2,400) and six (6) hammers valued @ $1,029), which I secured at Home Depot, bringing my total remittance to $3,429.00.

Please apply the overpayment of $22.00 to the 'Presidential Election Fund,' as noted on my return.

You can do this inexpensively by sending them one (1) 1.5" Phillips Head screw (see aforementioned article from USA Today newspaper detailing how H.U.D. pays $22.00 each for 1.5" Phillips Head Screws).

One screw is enclosed for your convenience.

It has been a pleasure to pay my tax bill this year, and I look forward to paying it again next year.

Sincerely,

A Satisfied Taxpayer

[Chandra Amaya]

LOL wonder how many tried it after reading this?

[Tink]

ROFL would be fun, but in my experience the IRS agents aren't really known for their senses of humor. :scratchhead: :goodluck: if you decide to try it. :D

[Chandra Amaya]

I think a sense of humor is one of those traits you can be fired for.

[Tink]

Traci, I'm afraid you're right. :thumbup:

[DianaB]

I thought that it might be the right time to bring this back up again since everyone's in the process of getting taxes ready. I love this joke!!!

[Marilyn]

This is a good one, and I missed it first time through. Thank you for resurrecting it!!
