(25,641 posts)I had an acquaintance who was extremely anti-Iraq war, and actively protested it. One year, he wrote all kinds of anti-war, anti-Bush stuff all over his tax return--"Impeach Bush", "Bush is a Killer","End the war, send Bush"--stuff like that. His return apparently got sent to that unit, and a couple months later, he got a visit from the Secret Service. I guess they investigated him rather thoroughly, talking to his family, acquaintances, employer, co-workers.... Wild.
Another funny incident happened while I worked there. A guy owed a couple thousand bucks for taxes, and created a "check" on the back of a T-shirt--I guess to make the point that we were taking the shirt off his back, as it were. Made it payable to the IRS, for the correct amount, with his signature, bank routing number and account number--everything you would find on a paper check--and we cashed it. Evidently the bank honored it!
