Happy end of tax season! Around here, the pizza boxes have
been cleaned up, the TaB cans have been recycled, and Chris "Grizzly" Hamilton can finally shave his
winter beard. Enjoy the rest of the tax excuses!
5) My claiming of extra exemptions and failure to file my tax returns was a radical stand in protest of my employer's
corporate greed, safety issues on the job and my employer's callous treatment of the workers; and also the actions
of the federal agents at Ruby Ridge and Waco [Matter of Anonymous, Defense Office of Hearings & Appeals, ISCR
Case No. 01-24356 (11 October 2003).].
4) I didn't pay my taxes because I had the expenses of dining out, taxicab fares, tickets to Radio City Music Hall,
living in an apartment on Central Park West, and other expenses necessary to establish a persona of a successful
person, which I needed in order to do my job as Senior Vice President in a municipal bonds sales firm [In Re Lynch,
299 B.R. 62, 73 (Bankr., S.D. N.Y., 2003).].
3) We did not file our income tax returns for the period in question because of laziness, and because we spent
more money than we received from selling cocaine [Anonymous v. Collection Division, Utah State Tax Commission,
Appeal Nos. 91-0427 & 91-0428 (17 March 1992).].
2) I shouldn't be taxed as a California resident because I only came to California to annul my marriage after my
husband abandoned me in Paris [Appeal of Eve Golden Wiseman, Calif. State Bd. Of Equalization, Index No. 67-SBE-026
(24 April 1967).].
1) I should be able to claim my stock market trading losses as theft loss deductions because Paine Webber stole
my money by getting me drunk with alcoholic beverages and allowing me to make unwise investments [Yoakum v. Commissioner,
T.C. Memo 2004-191.].
In conclusion, if ever there were a reason to consider using Arxis Financial for wealth management services, I
think the last excuse says it all. The good folks at AFI will never get you drunk with alcoholic beverages (or
non-alcoholic beverages for that matter) in order for you to make unwise investments.
