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. 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,
00:19 so allow me to spice this story up.
00:21 Instead of an audit, imagine this is a showdown
00:25 between two warriors in the most brutal and exciting form of combat there is, chess.
00:31 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. Don't worry, I came to play.
00:46 Happy to. I've got those receipts right here, dated, highlighted, and itemized.
00:54 Told you.
00:55 For the next three hours, we battled it out.
01:02 Two mighty brains locked in mortal tax code combat.
01:06 Justify this expense.
01:10 Our AGI was less than 50,000.
01:13 Improper classification.
01:16 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. My dad buys me a model train afterwards.
01:40 Interesting.
01:42 So you accept payment even though you're not a licensed tax professional.
01:49 In clear violation of federal law.
01:51 Check.
01:54 I had walked right into his trap.
01:58 Excuse me, I need to use the restroom.
02:01 So, did you get your Cowboys game last week?
02:09 No.
02:10 Yeah.
