IRS Humor (though We Shouldn’t Give the Bureaucrats any Ideas)

September 18, 2011 by Dan Mitchell

I’ve shared many examples of IRS humor over the years, including a new Obama 1040 form, a list of tax day tips from David Letterman, a cartoon of how GPS would work if operated by the IRS, an IRS-designed pencil sharpener, two Obamacare/IRS cartoons (here and here), a sale on 1040-form toilet paper (a real product), a song about the tax agency, and (my favorite) a joke about a Rabbi and an IRS agent.

So you’ll understand why I can’t resist sharing this gem I saw on the TaxProf Blog.

If you want to move from humor to real-world tragedy, watch this video on IRS complexity.
