And don’t forget Gilligan’s Island! On the lighter side, the IRS has been filming video parodies for education and training for some time, supposedly to save money, but their production costs could have been over 4 million dollars last year. Congress wants an accounting and copies of these two videos but the IRS has been dragging their feet. See this AccountingToday report by Michael Cohn for the details:

Many tax professionals I know (as well as myself) have constantly said the IRS needs to make more TV and radio announcements, but why not just give Congress what they want with explanations of why things were done the way they were? Are they hiding something? (Film budget overruns, for instance, something very unusual in the film industry (HAHA)).
Remember, for financial, accounting and tax musings,
You can count on us to count for you!
