Tax Form Instructions Are No Joke

A city tax superintendent here in Ohio has been suspended without pay for a week for trying to inject some humor in the city income tax filing instructions:

  • "If we can tax it, we will."
  • "Free advice: if you don’t have a profit in a five-year period, you might want to consider another line of work."

For press reports, see here, here, and here.  Thanks to Jim Maule (Villanova) for the tip.
