Finemaster Bill
P. Bill received a round of applause for being on time to today's meeting. Watch out P. Bill, everyone's watching!The Plick's were left with towels, pans, dishes from their recent GSE pool party. See Bill to claim your item.
Dave H. was fine for bringing his bank staff to lunch; Marty for forgetting the Pledge of Allegience; Bill D. and board were all fined $5 and members all $1. Wow! What a way to start off the year Bill.
Program
PE Betsy introduced today's speaker, our own Alan Dickenson, a former IRS agent who spoke about "Everything you were afraid to ask an IRS agent." Alan explained three IRS audits:Correspondence Audit - Answer questions and return form. Frustrating because it takes a while for them to process.
Office Audit - Held in an IRS office, probably asked to bring documents.
Field Audit - (YOu don't want this one!) Agent makes an appt. with you to go over your audit in detail. Could take a long time!
Alan then held an question and answer session.
