Ask this and you will hear this: I take my neighbor’s two kids with my two kids to McDonalds for breakfast every Sunday; can I claim the neighbor’s kids on my tax return? My grandma died in Mexico 3 years ago but no one here knows. Can I still claim her? I need to buy a house, my mortgage broker told me to have my accountant inflate my income to qualify for a loan. Would you do it? (Client smiling) Even if I pay you cash? You do my friend’s taxes; can you tell me how much she makes? I heard the IRS goes only after big companies, not “small” guys like me, is that true I know my business income but I don’t know my expenses; can you fix my return to show low or zero tax liability? Can you get me a bigger refund if I pay you more? When I become rich, I want you to be my only tax adviser. Can you not charge me this year? I went to Hawaii with my wife, while at the bar alone, I handed a beautiful blonde my business card. Can I deduct the trip as business expense for making a “business” contact? My previous accountant always got me a refund; do you think you can copy what he did for me? I can’t think of other ways to defraud our country, can you think one for me?
