You think I'm going to put it down?! ---------- Unless you always pay by a non traceable money order and have it shipped to a different name and address than you file your taxes under then you better put it down. Checks and credit cards leave a paper trail that your state IRS can easily follow. All they need to do is go to any of the big mail order houses and obtain a list of customers from your state. If you received anything during a year that you declared nothing on you taxes then it's time for a closer look at your return. Recently the police in Seattle announced that they were investagating a certain man in connection with the "Green River" serial killings. They were able to obtain his credit card records that were eight years old and used that information to show that he was in the area for all of the killings. That information exists for everyone if they take the time to retrieve it. With computers its getting easier and easier. John Eaton !hpvcfs1!johne
