How to Annoy the IRS

"How to Annoy the IRS"

1. Always put staples in the right hand corner. Go
ahead and put them down the whole right side. The
extractors who remove the mail from the envelopes
have to take out any staples on the right side.

2. Never arrange paperwork in the right order, or even
facing the right way. Put a few upside down and backwards.
That way they have to remove all your staples, rearrange
your paperwork and re-staple it (on the left side).

3. Line the bottom of your envelope with Elmer's glue
and let it dry before you put in you forms, so that the
automated opener doesn't open it and the extractor has
to open it by hand.

4. If you're very unfortunate and have to pay taxes, send
two or three party check. On top of paying with a third
party check, pay one of the dollars you owe in cash.
When an extractor receives cash, no matter how small
an amount, he has to take it to a special desk and fill
out of few nasty forms.

5. Write a little letter of appreciation. Any letter received
has to be read and stamped regardless of what it is or
what it's on.

6. Write your letter on something misshapen and
unconventional. Like on the back of a supermarket
sack.

7. When you mail it, mail it in a big envelope (even if
it's just a single EZ form). Big envelopes have to be
torn and sorted differently than regular business size
ones. An added bonus to the big envelope is that
they take priority over other mail, so the workers can
hurry up and deal with your mess.

8. If you send two checks, they'll have to staple your
unsightly envelope to your half destroyed form.

9. Always put extra paper clips on your forms. Any
foreign fasteners or the like have to be removed and
put away.

10. Sign your name in ink on every page. Any
signature has to be verified and then date stamped.

These are just a few of the fun and exciting things
you can do with the IRS.

**These methods are ONLY recommended when
you OWE money.
