Taxpayer Barred From Communicating With CPA Still Hit With Late File Penalty

Taxpayer Barred From Communicating With CPA Still Hit With Late File Penalty

The late file penalty would not have been as big a deal, if Mr. Hoeffner had not had such a large balance due.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible.

To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
