- quote -

My personal favorite is from Jeff MacNelly, printed on March
11, 1977; the US Individual Tax Return, Form 1040, for 1976.
Examples:

Filing Status:
Single;
Double;
Sacrifice Fly;
Married Filing Singly Joint Return (even if spouse is
married separately);
Joint Married Single Separate Spouse (but filing double jointed);
Head of Household filing separate but joint return
(if unmarried but jointly single);
Head of joint filing single file spouses's separately;
Widow(er) with separate dependent filing out of joint return singly.

Line 9: Wages, Salaries, Tips, Extortion (attach W2 forms
to your forehead with heavy duty staple gun):

I now always ask my clients about wages, salaries, tips, and
extortion (and I've shown them all the cartoon)....

If anyone wants a scanned version, email me outside the group...

Waitaminute. I mispoke. While the original form has been
around since 1953, this is obviously a revision, since
"theirs" (separate into two words for clarity) has added 50%
more lineage, with that line three. Ah now I know. It's a
reflection of the "kinder and gentler" IRS when they ask,
actually solicit, your input.

Times, they are a'changin.

The gag has been around for years; substitute any president

Does anyone have a link to a printible form that was made up
to look legit for the so-called Clinton Simplified Tax Code
that made the rounds a few years ago. An accounting friend
said he saw one on a wall of a firm recently that looked
really legit. The fonts and format looked just like a 1040.

The text is:
Clinton's Simplified Tax Form

Part 1. Income
1. How much money did you make last year?...> _________

2. Send it in...............................> _________

3. If you have any questions or comments, please write
them on the provided line > _

Curious so I can pull it for another accounting friend of
mine as a gag gift.
