It ended up hammering the DALPA guy and the collateral damage took out many training department folks. IIRC, DALPA made their guy whole (bs then and still makes me ill). Feel free to correct my faulty memory or fill in the details.
It's rumored the company paid the state taxes for a bunch of guys or the training department would have shut down.

The ones with kids ect. Were simply lying about where they lived. As mentioned some lost jobs after criminal convictions.

Too bad you missed the ordained minister scam in the 70's. (House was a church.) A couple of the MIA boys spent some time at camp..

There are practically no issues that I would ever agree with Sailing.
However, on this he is correct: Get professional tax help.
Sure, you can try to beat the odds, but if you do, be sure you can survive the odds beating you.

I have a question. I swapped a trip earlier in the month that took me over the ALV. I didn't think you could swap/pick up over the ALV. Then I dropped a trip, and then tried to pick up a trip that is exactly the same length, to the minute, but it denied it saying that it would take me above the max pick up. Are you able to swap and take yourself above the max pickup?

As my accountant once told me "It is your duty to avoid taxes but illegal to evade taxes"
