Michigan Chief Judge William Crawford II has canceled the “Walmart Washes” that we reported on last week. The judge who came up with the sentence didn’t seek approval from other court officials, Crawford said, and Walmart headquarters objected to the car washes being held on store property.1
However, the legal system has yet to weigh in on the following tax season punishments suggested by Tax Season Tribune readers:
“My punishment isn’t for that one client. It is for Congress who writes the laws. I think every Congress member should be required to prepare their own returns, by hand, without a computer.” — Terri H.
“No matter how many times I tell clients not to send me jpegs of their documents via text message, there is always one or two who do. Their punishment should be that I send them their tax return one page at a time as jpegs to their phone. Let’s see how they like it.” — Linda S.
