Question 1206333: Suppose 4% of all people filing the long income tax form seek deductions that they know are illegal, and an additional 3% incorrectly list deductions because they are unfamiliar with income tax regulations. Of the 4% who are guilty of cheating, 79% will deny knowledge of the error if confronted by an investigator.
