"Income Tax Sappy" is the 153rd short subject starring American slapstick comedy team the Three Stooges. The trio made a total of 190 shorts for Columbia Pictures between 1934 and 1959.

Plot

While doing their income tax forms, our heroes decide to go into business by advising the public on how to cheat the IRS. After throwing a big party to celebrate their latest "get rich quick" scheme, the Stooges find their latest "clients" are actually IRS agents.

Notes

*The title "Income Tax Sappy" is a homonym for "Income Tax Happy." [Solomon, Jon. (2002) "The Complete Three Stooges: The Official Filmography and Three Stooges Companion", p. 435; Comedy III Productions, Inc., ISBN 0971186804] .
*This is only one of the two shorts made in 1954 containing all new footage, the other being "Shot in the Frontier".
*Both critics and fans have observed that Moe is considerably more grouchy in this short, especially in the first half. Also, Moe and Larry are the only two featured in the second half. This was because Shemp had suffered a mild heart attack during filming.Fact|date=September 2008
