I have years of statements from medico's where I left an absolute fortune, and they want to see every scrap of my private life spread out for all to audit for a few hundred bucks in return. I am a consultant using my own phone which I cannot deduct as I am using a pre paid plan so I control the calls somewhat. I should claim the freaking stress related expenses as I consult to the government. Comprehensive review, my arse. As you said, some people are easy targets.

How does anyone produce detailed logs of their internet usage? Bah.
