"Occupation" on your tax form.

[bluedigger]

I put down "Prole".

You?

(I'll just be waiting over here in the corner for the black helicopter.)

1. What do they do with the answer to that anyway?

My wife speculates that maybe they use a mismatch between claimed occupation and reported income to potentially flag returns for audits...

[tabbycat31]

6. they use it to compare to others of the occupation

For example if you are a server and fail to report tip income, then it will probably set off a red flag to them.

7. It's all for helping Parade Magazine put together its annual "What People Earn?" edition.

2. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

did you really?

[bluedigger]

3. Fuckin' A.

4. Adventurer.

I aspire to be Race Bannon.

I figured that they use the data to determine median wages for various occupations and as a verification versus W2 data. I'm bound and determined to prove that Adventurer is a valid career choice even if I have not figured-out how to monetize that opportunity yet.

5. Excellent!

I figure they use them to compile erroneous occupational wage profiles for the Occupational Outlook fiction they publish annually. My hope is that if enough of us start putting down "prole", they'll have to include it in their index.

8. I put 'NOYDB"

("None Of Your Damn Business!&quot

"Phone Number where you can be reached to discuss your return?" "1-800-382-5968" (That's "1-800-FUCKYOU"!)

[bluedigger]

10. So, you want a window seat on the chopper?

[mwooldri]

12. I got a better phone # : [phone]. Ext 565.

If I actually did that then I would have rick-rolled the IRS - and my extension? LOL.

9. Ninetynine Percenter.

[lastlib]

11. ILike that one!!!

[mwooldri]

13. I'm accurate when it comes to taxes... but Facebook?

On there I put "A Cleaner at a Fortune 500 Company I won't name".

The job is not physically janitorial though. More digging around would reveal who I do actually work for.

[GoneOffShore]

14. Didn't fill it out - my accountant did.

[av8rdave]

15. I always wanted to put "Adult Film Actor," but never dared

[bluedigger]

16. They might ask to see your "credentials"...

[av8rdave]

17. Well, that would guarantee an audit

I guess the truth comes out eventually.

[bluedigger]

18. Some things you just want people to take your word for.
