Intimidating Revenue Service	comment	Even daredevil superheroes and hardened villains fear the taxman from the IRS. This is especially odd when said characters handle Eldritch Abominations on a regular basis and are able to kill an army like it was nothing. Apparently, going to jail for tax evasion is a Fate Worse than Death. On the plus side, they help the reader relate to the character (because taxes are serious business in Real Life) and can even make the villain more sympathetic, pitting them against the unfathomable might of... taxes. Even gangsters who get away daily with murder and robbery may fall into the clutches of the law, dead or alive, if they don't pay their income tax. (In fact, that actually happened to Al Capone.) Sometimes, the intimidating part comes from a person who gets a summons to the tax office and the person fears that they are in trouble and might be arrested for a tax violation. In this kind of story, it turns out the bureaucrat is a nice enough person who just wanted to clear up a minor problem and, seeing that the character is frightened, has to give some reassurances that nothing is wrong beyond that. A few times, the "intimidating" part is literal: the IRS agent is a highly antagonistic, inhumanly slimy Evil Debt Collector who is itching at the possibility of sentencing the protagonist to fifty years hard labor in Leavenworth (or the chair) and seizing literally everything the protagonist has for the crime of owing Uncle Sam (and the IRS agent) ten cents. Or to avoid having to sign a check to pay the protagonist back said ten cents. The trope is named after the USA's Internal Revenue Service, a department of the USA's central/federal government which collects all the country's taxes except for those on goods imported from other countries (tariffs) and ships entering US ports (tolls). Based on His Majesty's Inland Revenue department (now His Majesty's Revenue and Customs), it was founded shortly after the beginning of the USA's Civil War as part of the process of full economic mobilisation required to build up and sustain an army big enough to suppress the rebellion. Almost every country has its own version of this, often depicted the same way. They count as well. For the lighter, comedic version, see Department of Major Vexation. See also Forensic Accounting, a common tool used by the Intimidating Revenue Service. Audit Threat is when the characters threaten to call the Intimidating Revenue Service or their friend who works there. Taxman Takes the Winnings is when you win a big sum of money only for the IRS to take its very large chunk - no intimidation is necessary there. Having to pay your taxes is comically considered one of The Three Certainties in Life, along with death and whatever third thing you want to add for the Punch Line.

Intimidating Revenue Service / int_1092eae5	comment	In the Italian remake of Battle Fantasia Project, the Italian Guardia di Finanza (a gendarmerie specialized in financial crimes) has a terrifying reputation among magical creatures due a series of freak accidents in which they arrested Arcueid Brunestud, Nrvnqsr Chaos and Roa (to be fair, Arcueid followed them without protest because she knew she would get out in an heartbeat without violence and they could only bring in Nrvnqsr Chaos because he laughed himself 'till he fainted when they threatened him, with Chaos breaking out as soon as he woke up in an holding cell and never setting the record straight out of shame. Roa, on the other hand, was arrested because survived getting shot a dozen times but was still knocked out). Amazingly, they actually live up their reputation when the magical world getting exposed allowed them to find out the Nightmare Factory had not paid all of their taxes and thus, fully knowing what they were doing and who they were dealing with, seized all their solid and liquid assets in Italy and disseminated information on how to do this to their worldwide counterparts.

Even though the city seemed to have no actual money, there was a lot of taxes being paid.note Vetinari was considering putting Moist von Lipwig in charge of the city's revenue service. Sadly, this will remain What Could Have Been.

They're told that the two ominous men always demand their cut of the winnings. Fearing that the two shady characters are gangsters or something, George and Jane fly home in their car, followed all the way by the ominous men and breaking the glasses during the chase. Finally, George and Jane are cornered by them in their garage, where the men tell them they're from the Interspace Revenue Service. George breathes a sigh of relief, but is dismayed to find out they end up taking most of their winnings, leaving them with just two dollars.

Intimidating Revenue Service / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: "The Trouble with Trillions": Homer whips out a quick tax return by guestimating things as obvious as the number of his kids and ends up getting a severe audit. When called in, he's scared out of his mind and tries to give every excuse under the sun ("an older boy made me do it", etc.), but is ultimately enlisted as a government spy. Everyone else in Springfield got generous refunds. Homer would have too if the football-shaped mess that was his taxes hadn't fallen into the "Severe Audit" bin. In "Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington", the Simpsons pass by the IRS Building in Washington D.C. "Behind the Laughter", a Behind the Music parody showing the Simpson family as actors, has this as a plot point, where the IRS shows up and airlifts their mansion away after they're tipped off that the Simpsons weren't paying their income tax properly. Ironically, the mansion originally belonged to MC Hammer, another celebrity known for his huge money troubles. In "Bart the Fink", Bart accidentally causes Krusty to be exposed as a serial tax-dodger going back decades. This causes the IRS to seize all of Krusty's assets and take 95 percent of his future earnings (it'd be 75 for the next 40 years but Krusty said he didn't plan to live that long). They took over his show and Krusty Burger (renamed IRS Burger and with a tax theme). Though Krusty does plenty to deserve it, the IRS are portrayed as vindictive and/or incompetent, using his assets in ways that are both humiliating and unprofitable (like selling his family heirlooms and awards for literal pocket change). All of this reaches the point where Krusty eventually fakes his death.

He bribes Bugs with carrots to take his place in a psychiatric hospital, where the doctor "cures" him by hypnotizing him into believing that he is Elmer. Bugs (dressed as Elmer) then goes on to hunt Elmer (dressed as Bugs), and at first suffers the same kind of cartoon mishaps that Elmer does when he hunts Bugs. Eventually, Bugs does manage to catch Elmer, but before he can fire his gun, Bugs-as-Elmer is arrested by IRS agents because Elmer owes over $300,000 in back taxes.

He has been living and working in the US for a while now and he has been paying taxes to the US government instead. Since there are no tax treaties in place yet, he is double taxed because of his expatriate status. Logically he should have just stayed out of Britain until he could settle the matter (although that would have been rather hard to explain to his wife, who had no idea about his money troubles and had been counting on going to England at least once a year), but instead he panics and in his desperation embezzles the money from the agency. And then when Don Draper finds out, he gives Lane an ultimatum: resign or I'll expose you to the partners, driving Lane to suicide.

It actually WORKS, leading to the tax officer putting Sid on welfare instead of sending him to prison. Another storyline revolves around Sid trying to get around an audit by pretending to be Ernie, his nephew. It turns out Ernie is owed several thousand dollars in refunds by the government.

Intimidating Revenue Service / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: The Auditors of Reality are sometimes referred to as, essentially, the most ridiculously anal taxmen in the history of the universe. Particularly in Reaper Man, where Death is able to enlist a country woman's help by playing off her longstanding hatred of "the Revenoo" (her father was a smuggler). In Jingo, the nobles and guild leaders of Ankh-Morpork are gearing up for a war with Klatch, and are aghast to learn how broke the city is, demanding that Lord Vetinari explain this as once. Vetinari calmly points out that the city is full of rich people who simply don't pay their taxes, and produces a list of offenders (basically everyone in the room except for Vetinari and Vimes). Suddenly everyone in the room decides this isn't a very pressing matter after all. A E Pessimal, the Watch's accountant becomes this after he's sent to audit the Watch and tries to headbutt a troll resisting arrest, in exchange for being allowed to wear the badge and armor and go out on patrol sometimes. According to Night Watch, Mad Lord Winder privatized the city's tax system, meaning that the poor of Ankh-Morpork found themselves getting taxed for all manner of ludicrous things, up to and including "Lookin' at Me, Pal", and a very direct method of extracting the funds. Even though the city seemed to have no actual money, there was a lot of taxes being paid.note Vetinari was considering putting Moist von Lipwig in charge of the city's revenue service. Sadly, this will remain What Could Have Been.

Intimidating Revenue Service / int_4efed37e	comment	In Robin Hood (1973), Prince John assigns the Sheriff of Nottingham the additional job of tax collector. The Sheriff shakes the coins out of the injured blacksmith's leg cast, and collects a coin which would have been Skippy Rabbit's birthday money as tribute to Prince John. Later on, the residents make up a derisive song about Prince John, who raises the taxes in response. The Sheriff of Nottingham even goes to Friar Tuck's chapel and takes the last farthing from the charity box, placing virtually all of Nottingham in jail, which prompts Robin Hood to sneak into the dungeon, release the prisoners, and bring the ill-gotten tax revenue back to the people of Nottingham.

Honest shippers support it too since with this agreement, the tax they would have to pay disappears and they receive limited privateering powers to help enforce "Smuggling With a Smile" alongside the authorities.

A note at the beginning of the English dub says that the top tax bracket in Japan is over 90%, so tax evasion has more or less become a national pastime. She ends up ruining an honest mom-and-pop establishment because their daily meals include food they prepare for themselves at their own restaurant, and makes a grown pachinko arcade operator cry to save himself from a million dollars (!) in back taxes. Then she transfers to a different department, whose job includes taking on the Yakuza — and it's a fair contest.

Intimidating Revenue Service / int_5ae0bec6	comment	In 1991, WWE brought back Mike Rotunda from WCW and repackaged him into Irwin R. Schyster, or IRS, the evil wrestling taxman. He wrestled in suspenders, long pants, glasses and a long-sleeved shirt. He appeared in vignettes where he offered "Tax Tips", explaining what people could and could not write off, although he usually accused everybody, particularly his opponents, of being tax cheats. His finishing moves included the "Write-Off" (a flying lariat, or clothesline), and the "Penalty" (STF, short for "Stepover Toehold with Facelock.") In early 1992, he formed a Tag Team with "The Million-Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase that, after they defeated The Legion of Doom for the WWE World Tag Team Titles, would be named "Money Inc." Rotunda continued the role following DiBiase's retirement in 1993 until he returned to WCW in September 1995. He brought it back a few times since WWE hired him as a road agent (he retired in 2004), including in the 15th Anniversary Raw battle royal on the December 15, 2007 episode. IRS won the match, but DiBiase walked out and offered IRS a briefcase of money; IRS accepted and eliminated himself, giving DiBiase the win.

Near the end of "The Last Lord of El Dorado", Scrooge's glee at having Flintheart Glomgold owe him "All the money in the world" due to unpaid interest on El Dorado's gold into an obscure bank Glomgold bought from Scrooge is cut short when the government shows up to claim unpaid taxes, and, Scrooge has no choice but to give up the gold to avoid going broke "Two centuries before he was born." A classic Paperinik story subverts it twice before playing it straight... And then subverting it again twice: The first subversion comes when the city of Duckburg tries to enforce the payment of taxes... And fails miserably, with most collectors getting beat up and a rich family tricking the collector into canceling them from the taxpayers list and give them some money. The second comes when the mayor hires three experts. The experts are replaced by the Beagle Boys, who try this... Except the collectors are still the guys who got defeated the first time. Played straight when the Beagle Boys replace the collectors with small-time criminals, who aren't so easily tricked or beat up and succeed in collecting the Beagle Boys' insane taxes. Subverted again when the citizens get fed up, beat up the collectors and form a lynching mob to get back their money. The collectors wisely run away. At the end the real experts are freed by Paperinik, and since Duckburg does need taxes they decide to instead pile up on a single target rather than risking another city-wide insurrection... And decide to target Paperinik, reasoning that being a superhero is a privilege. While they don't know Paperinik is actually a sadistic vigilante, the mayor agrees fully knowing that. The story thankfully ends before Paperinik shows them what happens to whoever picks a fight with the Devilish Avenger... A Fantomius story reveals that the costume of the Phantom of Notre Duck was copied from one of his ancestors, a terrifying tax collector. The costume is still creepy in modern times.

The FCA is so powerful in their hyper-capitalist society that it borders on being State Sec, having the influence to depose the Grand Nagus and Liquidator Brunt hounded Quark for years to make his life miserable. Jeffrey Combs said that he played Brunt as being "the IRS man from Hell" - like being played by Jeffrey Combs wasn't evil enough. A holodeck version appears in "It's Only a Paper Moon", when Nog, traumatized after being wounded in the Dominion War, retreats into Vic Fontaine's 1962-Vegas simulation. Along the way toward nudging him back toward the real world, Fontaine gets Nog to apply his financial acumen to help with the casino's tax troubles. Nog ends up getting the IRS to admit that Fontaine is actually owed a huge refund. Invoked at one point by Garak, who claims that he was exiled from Cardassia for not paying taxes. But it's Garak, so the claim naturally has little basis in reality. Notably, Garak is called on the lie not because his claim that the Cardassian Revenue Service would exile him and then bomb his store was too ludicrous. (Sisko and Odo find it reasonable that on Cardassia, their IRS would either exile or bomb, though rarely both). They call BS because while the details weren't known, everyone by now knew Garak was exiled for something he did while with the State Sec and not tax evasion.

Or something. Before you ask, Superman's income comes from the rewards on the criminals he catches and the diamonds he makes when he crushes coal in his hands. He donates everything to charity, though. The story ends with the taxman's superior saying that since Superman has dedicated his life to helping the population of Earth, he can literally claim billions of dependents and thus any tax obligations are then effectively canceled. Presumably he only claims the ones who don't pay US taxes (as otherwise no-one could claim the standard deduction that requires one not be someone's dependent). In addition, his dependents deduction would be limited on a billion dollar adjusted gross income. This story was a Recycled Script of Superman (1939) #114 "Superman's Billion Dollar Debt" (1957). Yes, DC had the Man of Steel face the IRS twice.

Just before the final boss, he shows up to let you know you won't see him ever again, but how the story plays out depends on your spending habits; if you were thrifty, he tells you a war is brewing elsewhere, which will give better profit margins than selling chicken drumsticks to a single adventurer. If you spent more than 30000 gold, he reveals that there was some fine print in the contract (that the player could not read because it was written in a demonic language); specifically, there's a tax on his services that he has to collect now, and that tax is your soul!

Intimidating Revenue Service / int_a5549ed0	comment	In the New Testament of The Bible, particularly throughout the Gospels, certain professions are classified as sinful and worthy of hell simply by practicing them. What's the worst, vilest kind of sin-professional a person can possibly be? A prostitute? A pharisee? A torturer? No. A tax collector. (Why? Because they were the worst kind of traitor: they squeezed money out of their compatriots and handed it over to the Roman occupying forces. Even worse, they were legally allowed to be on the take, so they could overcharge people and keep the balance for themselves.) Jesus Himself refers to them whenever he needs an immediately recognizable example of an corrupt profession, saying things like, "You love the people who love you back? That's not so great; even the tax collectors do that!" The Gospel writers get in on it too, with Luke saying at one point, "When all the people and the tax collectors heard this..." Worth noting that at least two tax collectors are mentioned as being redeemed through Jesus' teachings, fitting the Christian philosophy that even the worst sinner can reform. One of them (Matthew) even became an Apostle. It also seems Jesus didn't have an issue with the concept of tax collection, as in Matthew's book, a group of Pharisees tried to entrap Jesus with questions on whether or not the people of Israel should pay Roman taxes, to which he replied "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's", so it's more Jesus took issue with people who abused their position as tax collectors.

Intimidating Revenue Service / int_af7aead4	comment	Discussed on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver during a segment about The IRS. Everybody thinks of insulting IRS employees as acceptable, but John Oliver explains that IRS employees are not a bunch of evil Obstructive Bureaucrats who take all your money, but an underfunded, understaffed, overworked group of Beleaguered Bureaucrats who are Just Following Orders - and not orders from their superiors in the IRS, but orders given to them by Congress; orders that they are constantly changing.

Of course, Roger being Bumbling Dad incarnate, they have good reason to fear the IRS. One year he assured Andy he wasn't going to do the taxes himself... he was going to do them on the computer; in another he asks if it's even possible to file taxes in a legally-binding state of mind (as Andy asked, "Who is Roglp Fox?").

According to Black Dynamite's accountant, they can't be bargained with, they can't be reasoned with, they don't feel pity or remorse or fear, and they absolutely will not stop ever until you are dead, broke, or in jail. He dies from an IRS agent's rocket launcher moments later, and when BD visits his grave later on another IRS agent shows up to demand payment and says for every one agent he kills, two more will take his place.

Intimidating Revenue Service / int_b712435c	comment	In Leverage The IRS is the go-to means of helping clients get windfalls for financial crimes or punishing those who may have skipped filing the proper paperwork. The team uses the fact that people who report felonious tax activity to the agency gets a share of the recovered money. In episode one of season two, a banker's actions results in the team discovering tha client's bank was being used by the Mob to shelter the players by pretending to be legitimate businesses and this had been going on for 30 years, he gets a massive reward. In episode two of season 2, after scaring a corrupt gym owner who runs illegal fights and collects bets from his competitions into running, the team alerts the IRS to his unclaimed revenue to help take him down. In season four, "The Gone Fishing Job", the villains invoke this trope and its worst aspects by pretending to be IRS agents and steal money from delinquent people but who might be on a payment plan. The episode opens with the villain confronting the woman and daughter at night at her home and threatening her with eviction all in a formal-but-borde tone, scaring her into giving him a credit card. The money stolen is being sent to fund an anti-government militia.

Intimidating Revenue Service / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000 The Imperium of Man practically operates on this principle. Everyone from the lowest menial, to a planetary governor, to the even the Space Marines have to deal with some form of tax or tithe. Failure to pay you debt can result in punishments ranging from beatings and forced conscription, to the planet being reclassified into a prison planet, to outright war and Exterminatus. Even when said tax is paid in full, one can still be placed under a Inquisitorial Audit due to how much of a bureaucratic mess the Imperium is. The Tithe Prefectus (the division of the Adeptus Administratum in charge of tax collection) is a potential Patron for characters in the Cubicle 7 RPG Imperium Maledictum. A special boon for characters with this Patron is the ability to make Audit Threats for an intimidation bonus (and if necessary to carry them through, to summon a number of helper NPC characters to support you). All characters are also supplied with some kind of weapon for the inevitable encounter with the myriad methods people die violently in the Warhammer 40K universe.

Intimidating Revenue Service / int_c511c682	comment	In Asterix In Asterix and the Cauldron, the one time a Roman tried to tax the villagers is fondly remembered, with the Gauls dissolving into helpless laughter at the mention of it. Of course, since the whole premise of the series is that this one Gaulish village is not part of The Roman Empire despite Caesar's best efforts, they naturally do not consider themselves bound by Roman tax law. In Asterix in Switzerland, the plot is kicked off when governor Varius Flavus is faced with an audit by the Roman Quaestor (inspector) Vexatius Sinusitus, and poisons him in an attempt to avoid the audit. Atypically for this trope, Sinusitus is actually portrayed as just an honest official trying to do his job, while Flavus is corrupt, and genuinely was doing things that were grounds for an audit (embezzling from his district's tax revenues).

The only reason she allowed herself to be taken was to give Jim time to act, and he needs his boys to do that. The men who took her work for the planet's tax service. Upon hearing this, the principal immediately signs the twins' graduation forms and wishes Jim good luck. When they ask their father, he explains that the taxmen as the universally hated group on any world. Jim and his wife may be criminals, but they still have to pay taxes like everybody else.

Her brilliant plan to get out of this, was of course, to seduce the agent. So the day of the audit arrives and she's dressed in a slinky lingerie. . .only for the agent to be a stern, no-nonsense, woman. A deflated Blanche meekly invites her into the kitchen so that she can write her a check. (Given Blanche's legendary promiscuity, sending a female agent was no doubt deliberately done on the IRS's part, knowing that she would have easily done away with a man). In another episode, Dorothy is in danger of jail time because of tax problems, but the IRS guy is actually a Reasonable Authority Figure; the guy you should blame here is Stan, who caused the whole crisis while they were married by doing a lot of stupid and unwise things, like buying a car and trying to deduct the payments as business expenses. (And not even telling her he bought it.) When Stan is afraid of going to prison, Dorothy lashes out at him, saying, "I want you to go to prison, Stan. And I hope a six-foot tall, bald convict named 'Bubba' chooses you as his girlfriend!" (At the end of the episode, Stan pays off the debt and makes peace with her - for the moment - by selling the car.)

Intimidating Revenue Service / int_d5cc6418	comment	The IRS is a central threat in the second story arc of Largo Winch; the titular character has just ducked and swerved through an international criminal conspiracy - which has killed over a dozen people as collateral damage - in order to claim his $10 billion inheritance. He barely has a chance to catch his breath and patch his wounds when the taxman shows up to claim ten percent of it. Things go into high gear when the taxman produces obviously stolen documents, smugly says that he received them from a "honest taxpayer eager to help his country's treasury" and the IRS isn't subject to rules of evidence anyway, then seizes critical assets during a hostile takeover, threatening the entire company with bankruptcy. Over the course of the arc Largo discovers another criminal conspiracy - this time to place thousands of American companies under the control of Libyan terrorists, with the ultimate goal of all of them declaring bankruptcy on the same day during an economic crisis while the backers escape with the cash. Result: the financial crisis of 2007â€“2008 - visualized in The '90s (and described as being cheaper, and more effective, than a Macross Missile Massacre pointed at New York). As this conspiracy gave the IRS Largo's records, enabling them to seize his assets, the IRS unknowingly but willfully participated in high treason. Turns out there's one man who the taxman can't intimidate - the President of the United States, who orders Largo's assets un-frozen in time to shut down the conspiracy. Literally- he has to hijack a window cleaner's elevator, fight off the Big Bad who was masquerading as the window cleaner, smash the window to get in the board meeting and ask the business rival (the Lybians' Unwitting Pawn and figurehead for the takeover) for his pen to sign the documents, with less than a minute left to go.

After he turns the park into a rousing success, he sells it back to its original owner (Cartman originally bought the park because he's such a selfish brat he wanted an entire theme park to himself without having to deal with crowds or lines, and the "success" was due to him eventually having to allow paying customers to pay for repairs, security, etc. Once it was full of customers, he didn't want it anymore, and idiotically sold it for the same amount he bought it for). He is then approached by three IRS agents who seize every last penny from him. The agent who orders this tells Cartman that half is due to tax fraud. He owes the rest, along with an additional $13,000 he can't pay, to Kenny's family because they filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Cartman after Kenny died on one of the rides. The agent even says, "See you in court."

And then subverting it again twice: The first subversion comes when the city of Duckburg tries to enforce the payment of taxes... And fails miserably, with most collectors getting beat up and a rich family tricking the collector into canceling them from the taxpayers list and give them some money. The second comes when the mayor hires three experts. The experts are replaced by the Beagle Boys, who try this... Except the collectors are still the guys who got defeated the first time. Played straight when the Beagle Boys replace the collectors with small-time criminals, who aren't so easily tricked or beat up and succeed in collecting the Beagle Boys' insane taxes. Subverted again when the citizens get fed up, beat up the collectors and form a lynching mob to get back their money. The collectors wisely run away. At the end the real experts are freed by Paperinik, and since Duckburg does need taxes they decide to instead pile up on a single target rather than risking another city-wide insurrection... And decide to target Paperinik, reasoning that being a superhero is a privilege. While they don't know Paperinik is actually a sadistic vigilante, the mayor agrees fully knowing that. The story thankfully ends before Paperinik shows them what happens to whoever picks a fight with the Devilish Avenger...

Intimidating Revenue Service / int_e7bb061c	comment	Exaggerated in Everything Everywhere All at Once. Not only is the IRS threatening to foreclose on the Wang family's laundromat over filing errors, an alternate version of their tax auditor is openly trying to kill them. It is eventually Deconstructed and then Subverted through the course of the movie, as the ornery attitude of the Wangs' auditor is shown to at least partially stem from personal pessimism about having zero luck in finding personal companionship and near the end in the universe where she arrives with the police to foreclose on their laundromat and finds out they're going through divorce proceedings she calls off the foreclosure and gives them additional time to sort their affairs, as ultimately the IRS' job is not to punish people but to make sure the appropriate tax payments are made.

Intimidating Revenue Service / int_f0c816fb	comment	Breaking Bad: A variation comes when Skyler panics that Ted is being audited by the IRS and is exasperated at his inability to process that he is facing a prison sentence for cooking his books. However, it's not the tax fraud itself she's worried about; the IRS' extremely high success rates at prosecution are because they have the power to audit and put surveillance on any people who might be connected to the fraud, and even a brief look at her will quickly reveal that she's laundering money, which will lead to much more serious charges than tax fraud when her husband's drug empire gets unearthed. To save herself from an audit, she plays up a Dumb Blonde persona to convince the inspector that the irregularities are incompetence rather than fraud, and then sends a couple of thugs to intimidate her ex-boss into letting her pay his fine with her husband's money. Saul Goodman definitely treats the IRS like this when explaining the concept of money laundering to Jesse:

Intimidating Revenue Service / int_f0d6862	comment	In an episode of Green Acres, it's revealed that none of the residents of Hooterville and the surrounding area (other than Sam Drucker and the Douglasses) have ever paid income tax. Due to the combination of a computer error and a misunderstanding of how tax refunds work on the part of the farmers, they all end up getting huge refunds in the five-figure range (keep in mind this was the late '60s), leading to an investigation for tax fraud by the IRS.

Sam Axe, a retired Navy SEAL turned Private Detective (for lack of a better term) in the series, is displeased to be audited by the IRS for being a little too cavalier with deducting business expenses (turns out mojitos don't generally count). But it goes both ways this time: Sam has spent most of his life in other countries stealing stuff and killing people, c.f. the scene where Sam shows up to a meeting with a gun as proof of an apparently classified mission. Then Zig-Zagged even further when it turns out that the auditor's mother is one of Sam's exes and the auditor volunteered for the assignment to get back at Sam for leaving them when he was a kid.

After the team tricks the titular counterfeiter into confessing about making phony medicine, he claims that all they'll be able to do to him is give him a trivial fine (Forging pharmaceuticals being a minor crime in-universe). Then Phelps points out that he also confessed to the magnitude of his counterfeiting operation, which implies that he's made a significant amount of money off of his fake drugs, which he hadn't reported on his income tax forms.
