Can you share some examples from '2018 tax horror stories'?

One horror story is about an expatriate who was working in a foreign country. Their tax situation was complicated as they had income sources from both their home country and the host country. The tax accountant they hired in the host country didn't fully understand the tax treaty between the two countries. So, the expatriate ended up being double - taxed on some of their income for a while until they found a more competent tax advisor to sort things out.

There was a restaurant that got audited for sales tax. They were used to a simple way of calculating sales tax based on their total sales.

A small business owner was audited. The auditor found some minor discrepancies in their mileage deductions. But because of the way the IRS handled it, it seemed like a huge deal.
