A despondent and mathematically challenged filer called IRS late
on April 15th and queried thusly:
Caller: Ma'am, I have started filling out my 1040 EZ and I am getting
a negative number? Does this mean I will get a refund?
IRS Ag: Sir, how is it that you are getting a negative number?
Caller: The form says 'subtract line 8 from line 7.' Isn't 7 minus 8
equal to -1?
