It’s tax-deadline week for most taxpayers, and to mark the occasion, Puzzability begins a new series entitled, Tax Deductions:

This Week’s Game — April 14-18
Tax Deductions
They say there are two things you can’t avoid, but this week we’re avoiding one of them. For each day, we started with a word or phrase and removed one instance of each of the letters in IRS anywhere in the word or phrase, but in order, to get a new word. Both pieces are described in each day’s clue, with the longer one first.
Example:
Those who provide equipment; soft and bendable
Answer:
Suppliers; supple
What to Submit:
Submit both pieces, with the longer one first (as “Suppliers; supple” in the example), for your answer.
Monday, April 14
Long-necked animals; dumb statement, usually made by a politician
