IRS Circular 230 Notice: To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the IRS, we inform you that any U.S. tax advice contained in this communication (or in any attachment) is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any transaction or matter addressed in this communication (or in any attachment).
Upon reading this disclaimer, my first thought was: “How does agreeing that I’m a brilliant humorist constitute tax advice?” This thought was quickly followed by: “Never hire this guy as a tax lawyer.” I came to this conclusion after re-reading the part of the disclaimer informing me that his advice can’t be used for the purpose of “avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code.” Isn’t that the point of hiring a tax lawyer in the first place – to avoid IRS penalties? Or are people now hiring tax lawyers because of their winning personalities?
