IRS Tax Computer Crashes trying to Tax Gates
 

Microsoft founder too rich for tax computer to handle

LISBON (AFP) - Microsoft founder Bill Gates, the world's richest man, said the tax office in the US has to store his financial data on a special computer because his fortune is so vast.

"My tax return in the United States has to be kept on a special computer because their normal computers can't deal with the numbers," he said at a Microsoft conference held in Lisbon.

"So I am constantly getting these notices telling me I haven't paid something when really it is just on the wrong computer," he added in comments broadcast on television.

"Then they will send me another notice telling me how bad they feel they that they sent me a notice that was a mistake," he said

What a nice problem to have... I believe I could deal with the non payment notices.

Gates's fortune is put at 47 billion dollars (38.9 billion euros), according to the latest list of the world's rich published by Forbes magazine.


Wow..................Bill now make windows stable please thx

oops posted bad link above

The IRS should install their software on a non-windows PC. Bill Gates probably has it setup so when his SSN goes through it causes a crash, lol.

if the IRS used windows to process numbers I would seriously never pay another dime in taxes. they would never find out.

My complex taxes can be done on a calculator watch.
