IRS visits Sacramento carwash in pursuit of 4 cents. Seriously.

I've never met a CPA or used tax software that doesn't round, so I'd be a little surprised if his return wasn't rounded. I also don't know any tax professors that don't teach their students to round. Its certainly possible that his return wasn't rounded, but if he used a professional to prepare the return, I'd be a little surprised.
There have been other cases where this has happened in regards to FICA taxes and, to me, it seems more likely that this is where the $.04 liability came form.
haha,
back in germany I have trouble with the german version of the IRS as well. I left germany 10 years ago and live and work in the US. I still have to file Taxes in the US for an apartment I own there. Every year I file the income from the apartment and the same IRS guy is working on my case (it goes by first letter of your name iI think). He then claims I'm not living in the US and I'm concealing my salary from the german IRS and commit tax fraud and he starts a prosecution of the case. My tax lawyer sends all the documentation to the court and the case gets struck down.
That happened now 7 times in the last 7 years.
The german IRS guy has some personality disorder and can't be fired due to labor laws because of this. I'm all ok with people having diorders but why does he think he is allowed to cause trouble because of his disorder? So I guess I have to live with this or change my name to a different first letter to have my taxes processed by somebody else. Well the fuss costs me about 200 bucks a year in added fees for my tax lawyer. I guess I'll survive.
