00:00 Hello, I'm George Cooper, this is my son Shelton.

00:04 Yes, we spoke on the phone.

00:06 You look exactly like you sound. Not everybody does.

00:09 Should we get started?

00:10 Yes.

00:11 I realize some people may find the ins and outs of tax law a little tedious,

00:19 so allow me to spice this story up.

00:21 Instead of an audit, imagine this is a showdown

00:25 between two warriors in the most brutal and exciting form of combat there is, chess.

00:31 Am I the only one who just got chills?

00:35 Let's start with business deductions from Schedule A on the tax return dated 1989.

00:42 I know, bold opening move. Don't worry, I came to play.

00:46 Happy to. I've got those receipts right here, dated, highlighted, and itemized.

00:54 Told you.

00:55 For the next three hours, we battled it out.

01:02 Two mighty brains locked in mortal tax code combat.

01:06 Justify this expense.

01:10 Our AGI was less than 50,000.

01:13 Improper classification.

01:16 Rolled over from the previous fiscal year.

01:20 The receipt has barbecue sauce on it.

01:23 Dad.

01:24 Sorry.

01:25 So, you are remarkably well versed in the tax code.

01:32 Thank you.

01:33 It's nice of you to do your parents' returns for free every year.

01:36 Oh, I don't do it for free. My dad buys me a model train afterwards.

01:40 Interesting.

01:42 So you accept payment even though you're not a licensed tax professional.

01:49 In clear violation of federal law.

01:51 Check.

01:54 I had walked right into his trap.

01:58 Excuse me, I need to use the restroom.

02:01 So, did you get your Cowboys game last week?

02:09 No.

02:10 Yeah.
