My problems began in 1985 when I was audited. I had to sell my house, take my four girls out of school and move back to a small town in upstate NY. I ended up paying $15,000 on the $4000 I owed from 1985 and $13,000 for the $3,000 owed from 1986. And I still owe $18,000 for the estimate from 1987. I've lost several jobs and had several liens and just received yet another Notice of Intent to levy. I am 52 years old, no credit no money, and very little hope of seeing daylight.
About 15 years ago my Grandfather (who is a Baptist preacher) signed a character reference for one of his church members. This was used to get a business loan. After being in business for a while and collecting taxes for his employees, this man skipped town without paying the IRS. The IRS then came to town and informed the pastor and his wife of their intent to collect from them, even though they had no knowledge of the business transactions. My grandmother told the agents that she knew where the man who owed the debt was, but they didn't care. The agent said that they knew where they were and that they weren't going anywhere. Why would they worry about finding him? This couple who were struggling to raise four girls on a country preachers salary worked for a year and saved every penny to pay this debt which amounted to over $5000. (Not a small sum to them.)
After reading IRS Abuse Reports, I can only say that I am even more frightened of the IRS. The stress I have had to endure because of my fear of the IRS is extreme and this affects my everyday life. I have always been an upstanding and law abiding citizen. I moved as a result of a marriage break-up and found myself without a job. I secured a full-time job but what I earned was not sufficient to live on. I went out and got a second full-time job. I followed the IRS guidelines and used the worksheet provided by them to calculate my exemptions. A big chunk of both my (full-time Jobs) paychecks was taken out for Federal Income Tax. At the end of the year, I was shocked to find that I still was required to pay even more. Originally the amount I owed was determined to be around $3,000, it has now escalated to $5,800. I live in a very economically depressed area., jobs generally don't pay more than $7.00 an hour. I have not, and will not be able to ever pay the IRS what they claim I still owe them. I cannot get credit or buy a home or start over at anything. I just don't know what to do and the stress of all this has rendered me incapable of handling even the slightest little problems. It has affected my relationships with people, I have a real problem getting enough sleep, and I just feel so un-free. What happened to the "All-American Dream". Why did people originally flee and risk their lives to get to this country? To escape oppression and taxation, THAT'S WHY. What happened?
I lost my job in 97, at which time I had only earned $6500. Between my high debt, and having to help take care of my disabled elderly father, and being out of work till June98, I had to use some of my IRA to keep from loosing my only means of transportation and to keep from being Homeless. I was unemployed from March97 till June98. The IRS is charging me over $7000 in penalties and interest because I used part of my IRA to help keep me alive during the time I was unemployed. Which, I feel is a hardship case. Even the IRS laws state that a person can use an IRA to keep a primary residence, etc., etc. I own a 89 Ford Tempo, a 20 yr. old motorcycle and that's it! I only earned $6500 in 97 that had to last me till June98. Yeah, right! And on top of that my disabled elderly father has just been diagnosed with lung cancer which will probably put me in bankruptcy anyway. (but does the IRS care! not!) If this isn't a hardship case I don't know what is! The IRS should stop preying on people in situations like this. I've been threatened by the IRS with seizures, wage garnishments, and repossessions. I've kept a written record of everything and can clearly prove guilt on the IRS for all the problems I've encountered. This has got to change. The IRS has got to be controlled, restrained and managed.
