It's all about the IRS Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Nuttyguy: Dug around for a good 30 minutes or more. I tore that hillside up and am left to believe a tornado picked up the cache and threw it about a mile away where a small lion then ate it.

Prove me wrong and I'll let you log a find.

Archived, as it is actually gone and I no longer live near enough to provide adequate maintenance.

Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are not the actual cache coordinates.
Do the puzzle below to figure out the real coords


My father has owned an accounting firm up in Spokane since I was just a little kid. April 15th became a huge holiday in our house. In celebration of this holiday, I decided to post an accounting puzzle cache. Enjoy. (:

Use a 2009 1040ez to solve this puzzle

For the North coords:
You are a single adult, living alone. You had one job. The total wages, salaries, and tips equaled $50,300. You earned $0 taxable interest, and received no unemployment compensation. The total federal income tax withheld from your paychecks was $7,056. You do not qualify for the making work pay credit or any earned income credit. Add the refund you will receive to the posted north coords to get the actual coords.

For the West coords:
You are a single adult, living alone. You had one job. The total wages, salaries, and tips equaled $90,200. You earned $0 taxable interest, and received no unemployment compensation. The total federal income tax withheld from your paychecks was $15,665. You do not qualify for the making work pay credit or any earned income credit. Add the amount you owe to the posted west coords to get the actual coords.

Bonus:
Can any one guess where I came up with the total wage numbers? Feel free to post it in your log. (:
