Lenny Dykstra is being sued. That's no surprise. The circumstances surrounding the suit are surprising. As the New York Daily News reports, Dykstra is being sued by the accounting firm who prepared his 2006 tax returns. The firms claims Dykstra did not pay his bill of $111,000 for the preparation of 2006 tax returns. That's not a typo. That's One-hundred-eleven thousand dollars.
Dykstra naturally assumed the bill was an error and is willing to defend himself in court. "Somebody trying to charge $120,000 for a tax return and can't even file it on time, they've got some problem," he said. "Now they're going to get exposed. My attorney, he said he thought it was a typo when he saw the bill."
The former outfielder said he had numerous meals with his accountants and recalls paying for all of them. "Maybe they charged me for his steak and lobster, too," he said.
That's a lot of steak and lobster, even at Manhattan prices.
So in an offer to all of the professional ballplayers with Bartow County ties: Please contact me if you need any tax preparation assistance. I promise that I'll cap my fees at $80 grand.
