Trump IRS Lawsuit Reopened After Proving Tax Returns Were Filed Using a 'Sharpie' Instead of a W-2
In a twist that has accountants everywhere reaching for their anxiety medication, the long-dormant lawsuit against Donald Trump's IRS dealings has been spectacularly reopened after a former intern testified that all tax returns from 2015 to 2020 were submitted using a single Sharpie marker—and that the ink was described as "very, very good." The meme historians are already calling this the greatest case of "audit via art project" in IRS history, since the returns allegedly featured color-coded pie charts drawn on napkins from Mar-a-Lago. The IRS is now updating its regulations to specify that "finger painting is not an acceptable form of depreciation," while Trump's legal team claims the Sharpie was actually a high-tech data entry stylus. The internet is currently divided between laughing and filing their own extensions.
