And they did for years, passing around cheat sheets that showed line by line how to fill out the complicated forms. <br /><br />The inmates sent the income tax forms in and the IRS then issued refund checks, in some cases sending them directly to the county jail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-40005988804196227402010-04-15T06:22:39.535-05:002010-04-15T06:22:39.535-05:00These reports pale in comparison to the actual ite...These reports pale in comparison to the actual items that are being purchased by some of the le agencies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-78943265266783644852010-04-14T09:39:40.035-05:002010-04-14T09:39:40.035-05:00Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S.
