Insights in History: The Dirty Dozen: Twelve Things You Never Knew About Income Taxes
Wed, 07 March 2012 01:30 PMIt may be surprising to some, but the tax lore is replete with amusing anecdotes, court cases, earmarks, and IRS follies. In this humorous look at the recent history of taxes, Claude Renshaw will draw from a fun collection of these items, including a few one liners, and some other wrinkles, such as: What happens when a man claims expenses for his wife, after he has murdered her, and what happens when an 'offer in compromise' is applied to an alleged tax bill of thirty BILLION dollars? Visitors will also view a display of artifacts and documents related to the history of taxes from the collections of the Center for History and Claude Renshaw. Admission is $3 or $1 for members, and reservations are required by March 5.
