00:00 Hello, I'm George Cooper, this is my son Shelton.
00:04 Yes, we spoke on the phone.
00:06 You look exactly like you sound.
00:08 Not everybody does.
00:09 Should we get started?
00:10 Yes.
00:11 I realize some people may find the ins and outs of tax law a little tedious, so allow
00:19 me to spice this story up.
00:21 Instead of an audit, imagine this is a showdown between two warriors in the most brutal and
00:28 exciting form of combat there is, chess.
00:33 Am I the only one who just got chills?
00:35 Let's start with business deductions from schedule A on the tax return dated 1989.
00:42 I know, bold opening move.
00:45 Don't worry, I came to play.
00:47 Happy to.
00:48 I've got those receipts right here, dated, highlighted, and itemized.
00:55 Told you.
01:00 For the next three hours, we battled it out.
01:02 Two mighty brains locked in mortal tax code combat.
01:09 Justify this expense.
01:10 REGI was less than 50,000.
01:14 Improper classification.
01:17 Rolled over from the previous fiscal year.
01:20 The receipt has barbecue sauce on it.
01:23 Dad.
01:24 Sorry.
01:25 So, you are remarkably well versed in the tax code.
01:32 Thank you.
01:33 It's nice of you to do your parents' returns for free every year.
01:36 Oh, I don't do it for free.
01:37 My dad buys me a model train afterwards.
01:41 Interesting.
01:43 So you accept payment even though you're not a licensed tax professional.
01:49 In clear violation of federal law.
01:52 Check.
01:57 I had walked right into his trap.
02:00 Excuse me, I need to use the restroom.
02:07 So did you get your Cowboys game last week?
02:10 No.
