I didn't cheat the IRS out of a penny! Over here we just call it the IR... ;) I'm pretty sure whichever way you look at it the Tax Man wins... There are countless millions (especially self employed) who probably pay more than they need too. And will they be notified when they overpay...? My dad’s an accountant..

As for those two moves of yours, I wouldn't call it cheating if the IRS says it's okay. As for "what I thought the total could be"--well, that's a little more iffy. I just noticed someone clicked the $2 million+ option. Time to call the IRS and get my reward! :) Heh, not a bad idea for a poll!

I guess "a" is just more of an ethical thing and "b" would just be a problem if I was auditted. Mentioning ethics, I would almost definately cheat on my taxes every time if I didn't think I'd get cought (maybe that should be a follow up poll) I’m not sure you call these cheating but I have made these two moves to decrease my taxes.
