Misbehavior can happen if you like cheating, but not on taxes. Getting fine with the IRS is not a happy thought. I am sure they do find where a person will try to cut corners so they cheat.

Very funny. I had a good laugh. He sounded so happy, content, and so proud of himself. Then he gets the letter that is going to give him a taste of his own medicine.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This is an extremely amusing Flash Fiction. So funny the IRS agent being chased by the IRS. It reminds me I haven't yet filled in my tax returns for last year - more tasks for this weekend... oh sigh, I hate the IRS.

Oh, Katherine, it?s so nice to see a reviewer who feels the same way about the IRS I do. I wish you well with your return. Many thanks for sharing and praising my shortie.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I expect we need to practice what we preach and do the right thing and pay our taxes. His bonus wasn't worth it in the end, a good twist in the tale here, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Comment from Wendy G
Very ironic - and it would doubtless have been a shock to him to be on the receiving end of such a letter. Well written story, with a clever last line. Best wishes for the contest.

Yes, the tax man certainly didn?t expect to be audited himself. Many thanks for sharing and praising my story, Wendy.

Comment from Carolyn Dooley
They go after whoever. It does not matter who you are. After all, the walking and working, it was his time to face the music. I know he was disappointed to get that letter instead of a bonus check. Thank you for sharing some humour, I needed a laugh.
