The following conversation took place between myself and Debra J. at the IRS. After this conversation I wrote to Public Affairs Officer, Mr. E.: I am need of your help and understanding. I cannot live with the garnishment placed on my income. I will not be able to pay my bills. I can only ask that you allow my accountant to straighten this mess out and if there is any money I owe, allow me to make payments that I can afford. Please read the below conversation I had with your agent yesterday. I am surprised at her lack of understanding and compassion for another human being. I have asked reasonable questions and received only the answer that "no one within our organization needs to respond to them".
Here is that conversation: Ms. Debra J. Revenue Officer, Date: Tuesday, February 24, 1998 Time: 12:36pm. Ms. Debra J.: Hello, may I help you? R. F.: Hello, my name is Robert F., my SS No. Is xxx and I believed we have a matter that needs immediate attention. I have received a notice from my employer that you are garnishing my wages. Ms. Debra J: That's right. R. F.: Ms. J, I have yet to understand the liability you say I have. I have tried in good faith to understand and I am unable to get any answers from anybody about the liability. Ms. Debra J.: Well sir, we sent you a letter with the amount you owe and I don't have to answer your questions with regards to your not understanding the letter, so I sent your employer a notice of levy. R. F.: But Ms J., I don't understand why I owe the IRS any money. I just received a packet on Jan 22, 1997 with a copy of the tax return that was filed in 1990. The papers show that the audit was sent to the wrong address in 1992 so I never had a chance to respond because I never knew I was being audited until a few months ago. So I gave them to my accountant and he also is confused about the disallowed amount of exemptions in your findings. Ms. Debra J.: Well that is not my problem. I said in my response to your ridiculous questions that no IRS agent is required to answers your questions. R. F.: Well, about the garnishment, I have not received any of what "6331. Levy and restraint" says I or my employer should receive. Ms. Debra J.: Sir, I do not need to do anything other than what I did. I do not have to prove anything to anyone, that is your job. R. F.: But I am looking at 6331 right now and it says (I was cut off by Ms. J.). Ms. Debra J.: I don't have to follow those laws Sir. If you don't like it then I will just see you in court. R. F.: This is not right! This is how wars get started! Ms. Debra J.: Good "Click".
I was contacted by IRS through my payroll clerk at work last year in January. They threatened to garnish two thirds of my monthly pay. The IRS representative could not give me any type of balance information or origin. I ended up paying an undetermined amount over a six month period (paying $300 per month). That amount was not including any refunds not received for three years. I am being audited again this year and my refund is being held. My anxiety level is at its limit. My fear of "Big Brother" is overwhelming. These people have the power to ruin people. I'm just a small fish in this ocean of politics. My current husband is disabled and I am in a position to have to fight still another bureaucracy. His medications alone are about $800 a month.
After 10 years of marriage, I went through a messy divorce. In the divorce decree, my ex-husband was responsible for paying any due taxes, after all, he was self-employed. After going through a rough 3 year period, and filing my first single tax return, I learned that my ex-husband had not filed the taxes for several years and the IRS was going to take every refund I would be due, for the rest of my life. It has been 12 years since my divorce. My ex-husband ran his business for 6 years without ever filing taxes again. I have spoken with the IRS many times, with absolutely no results.
I am being harassed by a zealot in the IRS collection department. He is totally a zealot. I have borrowed money to make my house payment because the IRS takes anything it can find.
Even though I have supplied documents to show that I have no money, the local agent continues to levy my checking account and anything else he feels might have money in it. He rejected my offer and compromise so what can I do? I have nothing, but the IRS does not believe me. Is there no policy that the IRS agent must follow? The IRS has taken my IRA and my savings. I mean every penny. I have 0.00 dollars in the bank or anywhere else. The latest levy was against my associates checking account. The IRS demanded 1/2 of the balance even though I do not own the account. I cannot sign on the account, yet the IRS wants to say that it is mine. Now I must prove that the $750 that was taken was not mine. How can this be the American Way? The IRS can just walk into the bank with numbers on a sheet of paper and take anything they want.
I made the mistake of filing a joint return with my now ex-husband, back in 1989. I have not been with the man in 7 years. I paid my taxes in 89 and he did not finish all of his. Hence because of this, they took my return from me this year. I don't receive child support, or anything from this man. Now I have to spend the next, however many years, paying off his dept with the IRS. It is not fair...my children and I have suffered enough because of this man and now the IRS is making us suffer more. Why should I have to pay his debt with IRS when I have none of my own? This has to stop, if is not fair.
I was audited for my 1994 taxes. I went to the audit and presented a copy of what I had submitted to the IRS with my taxes for 1994. The auditor asked me to gather up all my business receipts. I did this and called the auditor back requesting another meeting to present my documentation. He told me I would be receiving a letter from the IRS in a few days/weeks and to just sit tight, wait for the letter then call him for a new appointment. Suspecting he was giving me a line just so the 90 day appeal date would expire and I would have not recourse, I wrote a letter to his field auditor saying the original agent would not give me a new appointment and that the appeal date was drawing close. I received a letter back saying they were checking into it. I never heard from them again regarding a meeting. I then started getting letters saying I owed the IRS $4000 in taxes plus $4000 in penalties and interest. Every time I receive one of these letters, I call the 1-800 number at the top of the form and explain my plight. I am repeatedly told I should have just had another appointment originally, but they will check into it. My last correspondence was in September, then last week when I opened my pay check, the IRS had placed a levy on my pay.
How can they do that? Everything was still being reviewed! How can they levy without any notice? I have an appeal date of 3/21/98, but it really doesn't help, all my finances are screwed up. I am now unable to pay all my bills, I am being charged late fees, my credit is quickly being ruined. The IRS sucks, they should not be able to do this.
About three years ago I filed my taxes as usual through the same CPA I have had for 15 years. I was due a little over $2000 dollars which at the time we needed badly. I corresponded with the IRS agents by phone(holding any where from 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours just for a 3 to 8 min. conversation). They first wanted me to prove my three kids existed before they would send my refund. I sent birth certificates and school records. I then waited for 6 weeks and was required to prove my kids lived with me during the years I was claiming. I sent them letters from my co-workers, employer and landlord. I was then asked to prove this all took place in the United States. Again letters from school and landlord. Now it has been almost a year since I filed. The last thing I got from them was a check for $50 dollars and a note saying if I wanted to dispute their decision, I needed to prove my children existed. They don't care who they stomp on. I am afraid of their power and just gave up fighting them.
I am on permanent disability after back surgery and heart problems. I receive a pension from the Ironworkers and monthly SSI. The IRS said I owed them $60,000+ including taxes and interest. They began by taking 1/3 of my pension check and then without prior notice they began taking approx. 5/8 of my SSI. This does not leave me with enough money to survive on. Is it legal that they take so much of a portion of my SSI? I didn't think it was even legal for them to take part of my SSI. How do I fight this?
The Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation Division, Houston District is truly corrupt. Not only do these evil civil servants disgrace the IRS, but the United States Government. A Houston District IRS Special Agent by the name of Nancy A., really takes the cake. A. was the case agent on a IRS criminal investigation worked jointly with the FBI. During the trial in Houston, nine of the witnesses for the defense, received audit letters from the IRS. This was meant to intimidate these witnesses into giving false or incomplete testimony during the trial. Well it backfired and the Federal Judge chastised A. in open court. A. lost the case and the defendants went free. Well this was too much for A. to bear, so she had a friend, another agent in the District open a investigation on the defense attorney in the case. The IRS is fully aware of A.'s transgressions.
On March 4, 1998, I received via mail a notice that I owed the IRS $ 8,412.76 from the years 1986, 1987,1989..... On March 6,1998 my employer received a levy for my wages. What happen to due process?
I wholeheartedly support your efforts, and I believe that there must be something seriously wrong going in the IRS. I will continue to pay my taxes, like a good little citizen/subject of the U.S.A., but I will help in any way that I can to GET RID OF THE IRS!!! I believe that corrupt politicians have given them this power, just to make themselves feel good, and it must be stopped.
I have been hounded, harassed and victimized by the IRS and its paid Gestapo for many years because I write letters. I am a tax consultant and the IRS has audited not only me many times but most of my clients. I am in tax court now. The judge entered a completely biased and prejudiced opinion and I of course am appealing. I do not have much hope of winning as the IRS cannot let a taxpayer win. I will lose my home for I cannot and will not pay a tax I do not owe and by now, since 1992 and 1993 it amounts to over $10,000 and is growing fast because of the interest that keeps accruing.
This is a real disaster story of criminal behavior by the IRS. Six years ago someone stole my purse and engaged in "identity theft." He worked using my social security number and name. Apparently, he was a freelance artist and earned over $80,000 working for different advertising agencies. He never paid any taxes. A couple of years after the theft, I received a notice telling me that I owed taxes. I telephoned IRS and told them about the theft of my purse. They flat out told me I was a liar even though I could prove the theft had been reported to the police and to the various credit bureaus. An agent came to my house, threatened me with prison, seized my checking and savings accounts, placed a lien on my home and screamed obscenities at me whenever I protested. It took four years, more than $200,000 in attorney's fees and untold stress before the IRS admitted it was wrong. I lost all my savings, I lost my home and I lost my health. These people are no different than the Gestapo in Nazi Germany or the KGB in communist Russia. They are monsters and they should all go to prison. This is no longer a free country. We are ruled and abused by vile, filthy government assassins.
THE WORST PART IS THE ALIENATION THE IRS CAUSES THE AVERAGE WORKING MAN. IT IS NOTHING SHORT OF TERROR TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE I.R.S. THIS DIGS INTO THE HEARTS OF MEN WHO CARE FOR THIS COUNTRY. I TRY TO MAINTAIN SOME ORDER IN MY LIFE BUT THE GOVERNMENT KICKS ME IN THE PANTS EVERY CHANCE IT GETS. THE IRS LETTER I GOT HAS ME SO STRESSED OUT. PEOPLE SHOULD NOT LIVE IN FEAR. I SUFFER FROM ANXIETY ATTACKS. I'VE GOT THE POINT I DON'T WANT OPEN MY MAIL, IT IS TOO MUCH.
IRS does not respond in writing. IRS did not explain status of my documents. They pushed me in tax court without a review of my documents.
As an employee of the IRS for 17 years in the field, I will not argue that these alleged abuses may have merit.
The IRS is the most evil group of goons this country has ever seen. In 1992, my father who was 81, received a notice of deficiency from the IRS. My father was incontinent, suffered from Alzheimer's and was in a nursing home. He had not worked in many years. His only income was from a small pension and social security. I also helped him with expenses. I immediately hired a lawyer from a senior citizen's group and he telephoned the IRS. They said they had to talk to the next of kin. That was me. I called a woman who refused to identify herself on the phone and told me that she thought my father was faking Alzheimer's. They seized his tiny bank account and he was forced to leave the nursing home. He died two weeks after the outrageous murderous activity of the IRS. Obviously, IRS discovered that they had made an error. When I called and told the monsters what had happened I was told that "old people die all the time." and I was hung up on. This group of thugs must be stopped.
I received letters from the IRS stating that I owed over $6000 in taxes for unreported income of $3000 in 1994. How could my tax be so high on that amount of money? When I called the number, the IRS representative yelled and screamed at me and told me I better just pay it because if not the IRS is going to take everything I own. They're sending letters to my job now. I admit I made a mistake in not reporting the income, this is something my tax advisor told me not to worry about. I am willing to pay taxes on the $3000 unreported income but think that $6000 is a wrong amount, it's too high. I have a wife and two small children and I work full time. I do not know how I am going to pay $6000 in taxes. It's seems unreasonable but they do not want to explain to me how the $6000 was calculated. The representative screamed at me and threatened me on the telephone and now I am not sure what to do. I am afraid they will garnish my wages and take my belongings. I'm afraid. It's very hard to get answers and I'm afraid to go into the office to try to work things out after listening to the threats on the telephone. I think maybe I could get arrested if I go into the office to explain my problem.
Having worked for the IRS, I can sympathize with the taxpayers fears of this out of control gov't agency. The terror this agency instills is not limited to the taxpayer. Employees of the IRS, are confronted by the same terrorist tactics. The IRS has a division know as Internal Security (Inspection). One of Inspections functions is to investigate allegations of corruption within the IRS. Instead, Inspection has become a Gestapo tool of IRS management, which is used against its own employees. Whenever a IRS employee makes an allegation about the IRS to Inspection, the employee making the allegation becomes the target of the investigation. The IRS does this to cover up any wrong doing of the agency and to intimidate its employees into not reporting IRS corruption.
My husband has worked for the IRS for 14 years. In 1995, he tried to report Waste, Fraud, and Abuse by his project's management. They found out, and began a long campaign to harass him and undermine his reputation with false allegations and discrimination. The stress was too much--in June 1997 he had a nervous breakdown.
IRS started auditing us four years ago. The agent suddenly stopped, disappeared, and then some sixteen months later, armed agents appeared at our office. We are a family run business which includes farming and construction. We have been through audits before with little change on the returns. Now some four years later, we are in tax litigation through the appeals office. They claim they do not have some of my returns. I was never notified by them that they had not received them, as well as I paid tax on one of the years in question. Of course they have tried to refund that money, then turned and wanted it back with penalty and interest, even though they say I never filed. I never cashed the check as I knew it was not mine. I am sick of their games. I gave the agent a copy of the returns when he asked for them. How can I prove that they have these returns? The auditor has totally lied in his paperwork. Numerous comments of his can be documented by the source as lies. We realize that the agent just wanted to make himself look good. We have spent thousands of dollars, simply trying to get an audit over with. We furnished him with anything he needed. We had nothing to hide. We did not mind the audit. Our only request was that he did it in a timely manner, as my father was critically ill. He had had a rare immune disorder since Feb. 1993. This audit all began in March 1994. I have since lost my father (Sept. 97) and my mother is very fragile. I am hopeful that the IRS will be able to finish this and let us alone. I am sick of the waste of taxpayers money. This has been a nightmare and the most absurd experience of my life. I can not understand their tactics. We have been threatened, lied about, lied to, and intimidated. I am tired of it. I am afraid.
IRS Criminal Investigation Division managers can do no wrong! Group manager Darrel S. was investigated by IRS inspection division (internal security) for falsifying earned income tax credit statistics within IRSCID. Result; Darrel S. his now a chief at the Austin Service Center. Group Manager Terry C was indicted for fraud and conspiracy for his involvement in switching price tags and returning cheap clothing to Neiman Marcus. He was caught on video tape and reported by his X wife for failing to pay child support. Terry C., is now teaching at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, in Glynco Georgia. Bill K was involved in a conspiracy to create a hostile working environment for special Agent Hirose. Hirose was disliked by the Houston IRSCID staff because he was different: he was a Japanese American. Hirose committed suicide as a result of the IRS CID sponsored abuse. Bill K. is now the reigning manager over the most sensitive area in IRS CID, the drug money laundering group!
The IRS has taken my bank account and are planing to take away SSI from my sister & nephew. Why are American tax payers paying to have the government steal from us? We must ban together and abolish this system.
Ten years ago my husband and I got burned by a fraudulent investment company and we notified the IRS that we suspected this company walked with our tax moneys that were supposed to be invested. They never contacted us until approximately 6 months before the statue of limitations. An auditor showed up at our front door and demanded that we sign papers agreeing that we owed approx. $51,000 and if we didn't they would start action to take everything. He wanted payment in full that day! Needless to say we signed the papers. To make a long story short, we agreed to a payment plan and for the last 10 years we have paid faithfully. Never late. Of course there was a lien placed on the house and we just discovered that a second lien was placed after six years for the same amount, so now it shows as double. Well our latest payment statement from the IRS shows that we have a balance of $16,000 to go. But guess what! We wanted to refinance the house -- the IRS informed us that what we've been paying for the last ten years was only principle and penalty. The interest still stands at $33,000 and is compounded daily. Hell, I'd be better off blowing the damn house up, walking away and just drop out of society. We can't take advantage of lower interest rates, we can't get money to help put our kids through college, we are trapped.
In 1989 I filed my return for 1988. I received a $57.00 refund. In 1990 I filed my return for 1989. That year I owed some taxes (no dispute there). Two years after the IRS sent me a bill for both years amounting to over $25,000. They have tried to take everything I have. Everytime they threatened to Levy me, I sent copies of my tax forms and W-2's. They kept insisting I never filed and even asked me for a copy of the canceled check for the $57.00. It's their check and I have no access to it. I paid them so much money, but they kept adding penalties and interest so I never did get to any of the original taxes paid. Well, in 1996, I had to take drastic measures and filed bankruptcy (just the IRS, I didn't even have credit cards or loans). The court discharged all taxes, penalties and interest -- the whole thing. Now, almost two years later, the IRS sent me a "FINAL NOTICE" saying that they will take my salary, car, and home because I still owe them. I don't know how to fight them anymore! They are experts at breaking people.
I was partners in a restaurant business with my girlfriend and made the mistake of including her on the deed when I bought my family summer cabin from my three sisters. Years later my girlfriend went bankrupt and the bankruptcy trustee sold me her share of the house. What he didn't tell me was that her portion of the deed was encumbered with liens for allegedly unpaid 940 and 941 taxes (after I had left the business). Through my attorney I began negotiations with the IRS. An agent came to visit, he wrote up an agreement, $500 would clear the title. I sent in the check, and then got it back. The IRS is now trying to take my house away, and the only documents they'll provide me or my lawyer are 7 sheets of totally incomprehensible numbers that the Justice Dept. attorney claims that he can't understand either, but he can't settle the case because his superior wouldn't approve. My wife, a high school history teacher, is in tears every night, our money is gone, and the IRS is threatening to take our house for money we don't owe them. My lawyer says our legal arguments are airtight, but we're facing an opponent with infinite resources, no morals, and no incentive to settle.
THE IRS IS CURRENTLY TAKING APPROXIMATELY 80% OF MY WEEKLY LIFE SUSTAINING RESOURCES WHICH HAS CAUSED MY MEANS TO SURVIVE TO BE IN JEOPADY.THIS SICK ACTION IS CRUEL AND UNUSUAL
The IRS is holding my refunds without interest and refuses to relinquish them. (this is several years worth. Soon I will lose my home and everything I have ever worked for. My income is less than 10,000 dollars a year and there is no excuse for this.
In 1989 my husband entered a partnership in which the only thing he made was his weekly paycheck. After a year, we were forced by the major stockholder to sign our part of the stock over to them. In an effort to gain the stock, we financed everything we had to raise 7,000. We never made anything off this company except my husbands weekly paycheck. In 1992, the IRS said we owed 180,000 due to signing our part of the debt and stock over to the major stock holder. We hired a lawyer and had the debt reduced to 30,000. Our lawyer said if we could get proof that forgiveness of debt was given by the creditor our tax would be dismissed. We provided this proof and the IRS contacted the stockholder and had them rescind the letter. They are now garnishing my husbands wages $4,000 a month. we do not make $4,000 unless he works 7 days a week- 12 hours a day. We have tried to have the levy lifted by filing all proper paperwork and an appeal, but have only been lied to and ignored. Our lawyer has informed supervisors and problem resolution of the our treatment by the IRS agency. According to p.r., the levy is lifted but they continue to garnish my husbands wages. Today they offered us a payment plan of 1,500 a month. I wish I could pay this kind of note. I live in a 14 year old trailer house not a mansion. the IRS is destroying my life and the lives of the people around me. My children are affected by our stress. we do not live in a free country, we live in a prison controlled by the IRS.
The IRS is damaging me. How can they impose a levy on 1991 when I did not even get one paper from them. I have just read an article about people from NY who took the IRS to court concerning "last known address"(Sicari,U>S> Ct.App.(2nd Cir.;2/7/98)] I moved three times in the last 8 years, I had all forwarding address in local post offices, (I stayed in the same county)every other bill collector found me, no problem. I might add I was at the same address for 17 years in 1993 moved 12 miles away, never heard from them. How can they levy me without some kind of notice? The agent said she will start collections after the 15th of April. They are going to put a lien on my home and my salary. I would like to pay them back, if they lien me I will never get a loan, my credit is bad. I know I am dead. Can't sleep or eat, I am a nervous wreck.
We have more IRS agents than we have armed forces personnel! In 1989, my 1986 return underwent the dreaded Taxpayer Compliance Audit. The IRS disallowed about $400 worth of deductions, so I paid it. Last week (now, a decade later), N. J. of the Sacramento Office overturned that audit and assessed me for more tax payments--to the tune of about $9,000! This CAN'T be legal. Also, Norm sent me a letter along with a newspaper clipping saying he put a lien on the home of an 89-year-old woman! He's proud of it!
