“Obama Rezko Ayers Wright Richardson Clinton Blagoyevich Geithner Sebelius.........”

We need an investigation of the IRS for Criminal Conspiracy to Defraud the Federal Government, or something like that. Obvious collusion with Democrat criminals.

This is penny ante stuff. I got audited and I owed 4,000 more and I made some legitimate errors to owe 4,000 more which I paid. For anyone who makes more than 400,000 a year, 7,000 in tax errors is not that big a deal.

Competent CPAs don't make those kind of mistakes.

ANYONE who makes 400K and doesn't have his taxes prepared by a CPA is a moron.

The accountant discovered these errors:

_Charitable contributions over $250 are supposed to include an acknowledgment letter from the charity in order for a deduction to be taken. Out of 49 charitable contributions made, three letters couldn't be found.

_Sebelius and her husband sold their home in 2006 and then took a mistaken deduction for mortgage interest.

_Insufficient documentation was found for some business expense deductions.

An administration official said Sebelius filed the amended returns before her nomination papers were sent to the Senate Finance Committee. Sebelius advised the committee of the mistakes, and senators requested an explanation, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

In a letter to Sebelius, Baucus and Grassley wrote that they'd reviewed the three years of amended returns and “no additional items were identified that needed to be addressed.”

It doesn’t really matter what the reasons are. The idea of Obama tax cheats has already penetrated the public psyche. All that needs to be out there is news of another tax cheat, and it’s inflicting political damage. It probably won’t derail Sebelius, however it will be another wound.

I believe 3 years is the statute of limitations for taxes. I’m sure that there are no errors in their previous 10 years of taxes.

Dirty, rotten scumbags - all of them.

"He made a half a billion dollars last year I’m sure he can help"

Yeah but a lot of that was raised thru Axelrod's Hole-in-the-Fence:

We've already forgotten the Intentionally turned-off credit card checks that allowed people to use bogus names with legitimate cards to hide how much individuals were actually giving. ($2,300 per credit card, rather than $2,300 per individual, because they are virtually untraceable).

I get paid to do taxes. Some mistakes are easy to make, others are a “wink wink”, and others are fraud.

The “charitable letter” normally is just a slip that is blank, and left to the individual to fill in. And “three bags of clothes” technically does not pass, but that is all that most people get from Goodwill, etc as receipts. If it was a cash contribution then they either need a letter, or ask the charity to resend the receipt.

Still, 52 donations over $250 is quite good for a democrat. Must have been to Planned Parenthood.

Claiming real estate taxes would be a harder mistake to make, unless they owned lots of homes that someone else managed for them. That would be a Schedule E deduction normally, not a Sched A deduction.

Insufficient documentation for business deductions is very common, especially for mileage claims. Look for a huge increase in audits of small businesses under the Big O.

Overall, small potatoes, but in any high profile job, like a GOVERNATOR, one doesn't claim anything that would give your political opponents ammo.

And I agree, the sheer number of fraudsters in O’s administration is breathtaking. They must think that they are above the little people they have sworn to represent.
