The wife and I pay enough in taxes to employ a full time nanny. A few years ago I procrastinated and went into HR Block which i never do to get my taxes done on the last day. The guy doing my taxes was old as the hills and he was taking forever which allowed me to hear what the lady behind me was doing. To make a long story short she worked part time at a restuarant as a waitress and her income for the year was claimed at 7,000 dollars and some change. She was getting back 6,000 dollars from the government after EIC Child tax credit, Kid had a IEP etc etc -- she double her so called income which i highly doubt was only 7k.......made me sick when the cat told me i owed the IRS $9,357 on top of the 6,400+ we already had paid that year into SS,Medicare etc..........
She left in a brand new honda accord -- well it was close to brand new
