That is a reasonable conclusion to draw. But not the one I draw.
However there were 20 years between the 2 events.
And the first was found because of an audit, while the second I found and reported within a few months of filing.
There’s a lot going on here. The lesson I draw is: different circumstances different results. But both good and bad results are possible, for fairly similar inputs into the process.
- smcl 14y ago> the first was found because of an audit The IRS audited a 10 year old?
- maxerickson 14y agoIf it became known that they wouldn't audit a 10 year old, bad actors would certainly exploit it.
- nmcfarl 14y agoThat they did. I assume it’s for the reason that maxerickson stated. These where some /really/ simple taxes. Other than the huge (for me) fine, it was a fairly painless experience. My parents did handle it - but even for them other than the stress of knowing it was happening, I think it involved not too much work for them, and as far as they where concerned had not too bad an outcome. I do suspect my parents double-checked my filings from then on a lot more closely than they had before.
