Based on his estimates of the tax he owes and our estimates of his income, he does not claim the $5,000 in monthly business expenses on his income tax forms and deducts an amount much closer to the standard deduction. With that in mind he is not a person of interest to the IRS because he is more or less ahnest and pays a penalty on top of his taxes as part of the installment plan. If you want to report him for perjury and bankruptcy fraud here is a link that would be more appropriate:How he escapes being audited every year has to be the most pigroach thing ever

Report Suspected Bankruptcy Fraud

Edit: I reread the begruptcy forms and Rochelle did not have to certify that she believed the numbers were true or that she had independently verified them, only that the application accurately captured the cost and scope of her representation. This means she could just blame Phil for lying to her and get away scot-free even if Nancy had realized the numbers were fabricated. There is no such protection for tax preparers who have to sign saying "Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this return and accompanying schedules and statements, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, they are true, correct, and complete". It's one thing to lie when there are no consequences, it's another to lie when the consequences include jail time and the client isn't paying enough to make the risk worthwhile.
