I hear it all the time from liberals... now, I would like liberals to define WHO is wealthy in terms of $$ income and HOW they cheat... I have asked many CPAs about it and its all been the same, unless you make 1 million or more a year, its pretty much impossible for you to cheat on your taxes... so, we have a tax code that penalizes those who make LOWER than 1 million while still providing the tax loopholes for those who make over 1 million... who makes over 1 million? Celebrities, CEO's, athletes, private business owners... and yet THESE very same people are worshiped by the liberals... so I don't get it... you hate them yet you worship them and then claim anyone but them to be tax cheats... so you penalize everyone else BUT them... they are a small EASY identifiable group.. yet you target everyone BUT them...
I laugh at these types of accusations toward rich folks. In my many years, in the blue collar world, I have seen countless construction workers wrongfully claiming mileage, tools, omitting per diem, claiming “married an nine” and so many more tax evading techniques but this is to be “understandable” to most blue collar workers. It is without a doubt, TAX IVADING at its finest yet these are the same folks who yell tax the rich because they evade them. WTH???
More double standards that gets overlooked because of the Robin Hood theory.
Boy boy boy.

Do you do their taxes??? If you do, you are breaking the law.
Oh, come on...I know cheating is cheating however, you are talking nickels and dimes.
Someone mentioned $500 being the limit, so I guess I'm talking about 10,000 nickels. If it is in fact one of the most common ways to cheat then multiply that by what millions people?
Either way the initial claims that it's almost impossible to cheat on taxes unless you make over a million is obviously false.
You got me politicians who make huge amounts of money each year? Maybe I didn't make myself clear... the liberals have targeted people... not politicians, celebrities, athletes, business owners... they targeted the successful working class as tax cheats and demand that the government increase the taxes on these people... at the same time, the loopholes that business owners, celebrities, athletes are celebrated by the liberal crowd who are biggest tax cheats... Would you care to tell me what INCOME and what methodology of cheating on taxes... we aren't going after the real tax cheats thanks to the liberals but we go after those that CAN'T cheat on their taxes by raising their taxes?
Sad that we have this idea the income tax should even be permitted in a free society.
3% fed sales tax on everything but food and clothing .... INCOME and IRS GONE!!!
Everyone plays a low percent and govenrment functions no more loop holes, and cheating after all its in the stuff you buy.
the only way that I can think of cheating requires an enormous income (greater than 1 million a year).
Well, aside from the posts made in this thread mentioning charitable giving, underreported income, and business related expenses that you responded to.

Charitable giving is really a crapshoot... the AMT will kill it easily
Underreported income???... I think that is more myth than reality, if someone is worker 50 hours a week, they aren't going to have time for underreported income and their W-2 isn't going to be "mistyped" by the employer...
Work related expenses??... I have done that.. I rather have ZERO work related expenses because it comes directly out of my pocket... it doesn't help boost my income any nor does it lessen my taxes because I didn't really use it for myself to begin with... I rather have that money and pay the 30% taxes on it then have none of it...
So aside from everything, there really is no cheating of taxes by those that are demonize by the liberals then...
