Well.


That said, I eagerly await a tweet or two from 'ol Lee.

Well, this sounds like a set up to me.  Trust me, I know all about being set up.

The judge?

If you are going to sound jaded and scoffing, it's best not to sound stupid in the process.

How do they not take tax withholdings out when he was working for us?

That just means someone at the tax office reads this board. Pre-emptive damage control before they catch hell for arresting and persecuting someone trying to cooperate with them. The publicans were crooked thieves in Jesus' day, and not a darn thing has changed.

Non-filing of taxes isn't exactly a he said she said crime.  Either you did or you didn't.

So a CPA advocates using a CPA instead of tax software?  I'm sure if you could ask your tax software they would come out the other way...

---------------------------------------------

I have had 3 different friends who were using accounting software, previously, who took their past 3 years tax returns to this guy and he got them an additional $1,500-$5,000 in their ammended tax returns....so keep using that turbo tax.

Apparently the Jazz don't think it's that big of a deal....

"According to head coach Tyrone Corbin, Lowe will be in Utah on Tuesday for the Jazz’s morning shootaround and their game against Golden State at EnergySolutions Arena.

Corbin has spoken with Lowe but declined further comment on the situation. "It’s a personal matter," Corbin said. "We’ll deal with it. [Lowe] will make a statement at some point but it’s a personal matter. ... Things happen. You deal with it."

Like Corbin, center Al Jefferson didn’t think the situation will impact the Jazz, whose game against Golden State is one with major playoff implications.

"That’s a personal matter with him," Jefferson said. "Coach is a great guy, man. I don’t know the story about it. ... But he’ll take care of it."

Good question.

You'd like to think that if he was still our Coach that he would have had his things in order, but the tax years in question was when he was our Coach.

I think the Jazz hired him shortly after he resigned here so it's not like he has been sitting around unemployed twittling his thumbs.

There's just something about the whole thing that does not quite pass the taste test, especially the arrest itself.

Yes.  Someone would've blown the whistle eventually.

depends on the state. Some states view games played in that state as earned income in that state.

I travel (occasionally) with my job but my pay check still comes from NC.  That may be true but it sure does not make sense.


I hope when it's all said and done that Sid receives a refund.

Likewise, I doubt truckers have to file in every state they drive through.

The judge?

If you are going to sound jaded and scoffing, it's best not to sound stupid in the process.

OK, he misspoke, magistrate.  You can't just take out criminal warrants all willy nilly, a judicial official has to find probable cause.  Doesn't sound terribly stupid if you're not in a profession associated with the law.  I do agree with the "jaded and scoffing" part of your post though, people care WAY too much about where someone went to school, graduated from school, or drove by that one time headed to the fairgrounds.

Actually, sworn law enforcement personnel with the Department of Revenue have powers of arrest.

He SHOULD have filed an NC income tax return, based on his employment, and that he earned most of his income in NC.

However, where did he claim permanent residency?

It's not like he didn't pay any NC taxes, due to the withholding.  Heck, he may even be eligible for a refund.

Let's hear some more before we blast the guy, ok?
