Retirement tax questions

Put unemployed if you like. The IRS could care less what your occupation is, so long as you pay your taxes. Here's some examples of what I've actually seen in that field on returns in the past.

Occupation                       Real Job

Mass Murderer           Pest Exterminator

Serial Killer                  Same as above

Human Trafficker       Modeling Agent

Drug Dealer                Pharmacy Technician

Car Jacker                  Worked for an automobile repossession company

Hijacker                       Aircraft Reposessor

Money Launderer       This guy worked at the U.S. Mint. His job was to wash newly minted coins.

Terrorist Eradicator     Navy Seal (I'm guessing he was on seal team six - but they won't say)

Computer Hacker       Works for the CIA – nuff said.
