Is the IRS catching up with Tim and Roberta?
The IRS caught up with Tim recently. They audited his returns for the past five years and handed him a huge tax penalty. Tim was lucky – he could have gone to jail. What Roberta doesn’t know is that she’s lucky too. She was on the hook just as much as Tim since she signed the tax return.
