IRS Updates it's version of "the Dirty Dozen"

One week to go!!  We're working hard to get everything done and realize that there are still some of you that we haven't heard from yet.  Get in here soon, OK!
 
The IRS released its 2011 iteration of the Dirty Dozen. There's no reference to the classic WWII themed movie or its great cast of characters, which included Lee Marvin, Jim Brown, Charles Bronson, George Kennedy, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland, Clint Walker and John Cassavetes (who was nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe as best supporting actor).  I vividly remember watching the Dirty Dozen with my dad and it is one of my all time favorite movies.  I don't know how I feel about the IRS stealing the tag line! 
 
The 2011 version of this IRS list of evil-doers "represents the worst of the worst tax scams," said IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman. "They may look tempting, but these fraudulent deals end up hurting people who participate in them." Hiding income in offshore accounts, identity theft, return preparer fraud and filing false or misleading tax forms top this year's list.  The rest of the story can be found in the following link.
 
 
Note: According to Wikipedia, John Wayne was the original choice for Colonel Reisman (Lee Marvin's character), but he turned down the role.
