Dumb Tax Advice From Interns is a continuing series leading up to tax day, in which real truTV interns answer your tax questions. Our interns are very bright people, but seeing as they have absolutely no real accounting experience, we don't recommend you follow this advice.

Check back here every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from now until Tax Day for more advice. Have a tax question for our interns? Ask away. Just don't expect an expert response.
