The Lighter Side of Tax Excuses

When it comes to creating a defense to the charge of tax evasion, I don't know which excuse is worse:

  • A variation on the Steve Martin bit about forgetting to pay your taxes (see the case detailed here); or
  • Richard Hatch's "I thought CBS was withholding taxes from my winnings check" defense (discussed here)?
