How would you ever keep a straight face when she was looking among the ceiling tiles for your mileage logs? Usually that's the job of the tax client.

At the end of the year, the IRS always busts a few preparers around the country just to keep everyone on their toes.

I remember one preparer that claimed that her clients bought over 750 Toyota Prius’s and claimed the federal rebate, plus had over 100 clients that finished adoptions. Plus EIC and child tax credits. Back then it was $7500 for an electric car subsidy and could be $25k for some adoption credits.

This preparer lived in Laredo. Across the river for $1 gas (back then). When just over 3,000 electric cars of any kind were registered in all of Texas that year.

In dirt poor Laredo, she was dumb as dirt, like this lady.
