The Taxman Cometh

SurvivorWith W-2s appearing in our mailboxes and April 15th fast approaching, I thought this story was quite appropriate:

Survivor winner faces tax charges
US reality TV series Survivor's first winner, Richard Hatch, is in trouble with tax authorities after allegedly failing to declare his $1m prize.
Mr Hatch, 43, has been accused of not paying tax on the $1.01m (£538,000) he got from the show in 2000 plus $321,000 (£171,000) salary from a radio station.
He could face up to five years in jail and a $250,000 (£133,000) fine for each of two charges of tax evasion.
