Sounds like you gambled on getting away with cheating. Sorry about your luck but thanks for playing.
Wait, what? I cheated? No, my biggest issue was not keeping a paper trail on the work I did for a local small business. Trying to decide if it’s work the effort to go back to the state I lived in then (and had lived there for my entire life) or just pay them.
Cost vs gain (other than a big FU) will probably mean I will pay them. In installments.
And thanks for accusing me of being a cheat and/or crook.
BTW, my point was why was a person who made $15k audited?
