Not trying to be a buzzkill, but I do taxes for a living
Sounds like being a buzzkill is just part of your day-to-day....
That's a joke. I love the tax man. So, serious question:
I know one of these instagram people with lotsa followers. Some posts they just get a payment, some others they get all kinds of free shit. I know for a fact they don't claim any of it.
1) You gotta consider the free stuff income don't you/
2) Frankly I dont like this person, should I call los federales here?
Again, I love taxes.
Aloha!
Haha, as you can imagine I'm a real hit at cocktail parties.
On that note....unfortunately, I don't think there's much that can be done if you want to turn in an Instagram Ho (I assume it's a chica?) to the Feds. If she's getting paid in cash, chances are it's considered a "gift" from whomever is sponsoring her and technically they (the givers) are the ones who are supposed to pay taxes on gifts over a certain amount ($14,000 in 2018). So she is pretty much in the clear there.
As far as the free shit she gets, it's pretty much the same deal. The only case off the top of my head where she could be liable for taxes is if she wins cashes and prizes as a result of some sort of contest, like a Wet T-Shirt event or perhaps a competition for who can handle being shit on by the most Dubai locals, and even then the amounts would be hard to measure and/or prove.
One way to screw with them is to (anonymously) let them know they've been reported to the IRS for failure to claim any of the above. Even though they aren't actually required to report it, it'll likely scare the shit out of them and lessen their quality of life for a few days. Sort of like what's happening with this whole #thotaudit phenomenon. Nothing wrong with some harmless fun right?
