IRS Abuse Report #106
Date: Wed, 31 Jul 1996 19:54:35 -0400
To: sue@irs.class-action.com
From: EB

They have got me running in circles. They have even attached my customers accounts and now my customers don't want to have any contact with me. My livelihood is going down the drain. If I owed them, why don't they at least offer some type of explanation, instead of just saying you have been assessed -- now pay-up or we'll take everything you own.


IRS Abuse Report #107

From: HE

The IRS audited me. My wife who was not employed at the time, is now our only means of support. Without notice, they levied her bank account and took our rent money. The IRS collection agent admits that they only want me and that my wife is not involved. But they refuse to release her money. Between the IRS and the FTB they say I owe over one million dollars. I have been unemployed for almost 3 years now. I don't even own a car anymore. The agent wants me to meet with her by the 15th of August. Is there anything I can do? I no longer have any money to have representation and I am scared...

From: TT

My fight with the IRS has been going on for over 10 years. Presently, I am in the appeals process for the rejection of an "Offer-in-Compromise" of $30,000. The IRS rejected the offer based on the reasoning that I could pay the amount in full, if I sold my home and all of my assets. This of course is true, but to lose everything I have, just to pay for massive interest and penalties on an original tax debt of approximately $18,000, is untenable at best. The debt has now grown to about $63,000. I will fight them until they physically come and separate me and my family from what we have spent 23 years building. Which I expect to happen one day.

I have been fighting the IRS for one thing or another for the last ten years. They have audited me over eight times and each time I have shown and or proven my deductions. But they still harass me. They now say I owe some $7000 for tax year 91. I have a lien on my house and they currently want $3000 for tax year 93. I am at my wits end with this group of losers. I have tried talking to them but they are out to destroy my life, family and my pursuit of happiness. I thought indentured servitude was against the law in this country? I am about ready to say the hell with it, at this point I have nothing left to give and I am tired of working for this government. It's time to exercise our constitutional rights and take this government apart.

From: JB

The IRS has a lien on my house, I wish to sell my home, but can't because of this lien. In 1987, I got out of the family business. In 1990-91, the owner did not pay taxes, the business used my tax ID number, so the IRS filed the lien against me. There was no warning and no chance to explain. I have since showed them my tax returns and all other paper work showing that I was not involved in the business. All with no result. They have to collect from someone, so they are picking me. If you can help in any way please contact me!

From: anonymous

Impossible to tell this BRIEFLY, but have been fighting the IRS for more than ten years. It started with less than $4,000 they claimed we owed. There own figures show that we had a TAX CREDIT at the time! We said we didn't owe anything, and fought them. It is now up over $280,000.00 with NOTHING to prove we owe any taxes!

I served in Vietnam and got two purple hearts. I shed MY BLOOD for this country. The IRS took EVERY CENT of my retirement pay for THREE YEARS! We had to sell everything we owned just to live. This includes my wedding ring and our family pets. Our kids let us move into their cabin and then the IRS went after THAT. They sold our kids cabin and land at auction! We tried to apply for food stamps, but were told the money the IRS was stealing every month had to be counted as "income". We couldn't get food stamps because we had "too much income" -- and the IRS takes ALL of it! An agent came out to seize our old car, he saw two cars belonging to our kids, so he hauled them off too. We went and got them back and were slammed with criminal charges of "FORCIBLE RESCUE "!

After 4 months of expense...paid for by the government, the day of the trial they asked for the case to be dismissed! This dismissed case cost the taxpayers more than $75,000.00!

When we said we were going to write our congressman, the agent sneered and said "go ahead". They do not fear ANYONE. They will not SIGN anything! One little self-important twirp can RUIN your life without any evidence at all.

From: BM

After making over nine years of on-time payments to the IRS on an installment program, the IRS levied my wages without any warning. Their reasoning for this? They lost my installment agreement! The original debt was $25000. I have paid more than that amount and now the debt is $33000. I will never live to get this debt removed. Due to the liens, I have had no credit, cannot buy a home, cannot get loans for my children to go to college, I can't even live a normal life. I am not as well off as an indentured servant -- at least they could work their way free.

From: LB

The IRS raided a private and legal business at gun point. It took five years to decide whether to try the case in court (since no one would plead guilty). They confiscated thousands of dollars, 6 vehicles, 4 big-screen TV's, stock, equipment, and I can't remember what else. All books, records, receipts, etc. were seized, and five years later we were put on the witness stand to answer questions about things we hadn't seen for five years!

From: anonymous

My father-in-law is 72 years old. He has rental property, and the IRS grabbed a figure out of thin air as to what his income should be from that property versus what he actually received (and had documentation for). That doesn't matter to them. They had no documentation, no proof of any kind that he underpaid, yet, the burden of proving his own innocence falls on him!!! In other words, to the IRS, you're GUILTY until you can prove yourself innocent. That's outrageous, and contradicts everything the judicial system supposedly stands for!

The IRS said I owe them $70,000 from ten years ago. Even with legal help, they will not leave me alone. I've lost jobs because of them, they've taken refunds I have been entitled to, and they've put my health at risk. I don't owe them anything!! I need help.


IRS Abuse Report #116

Date: Sat Oct 5 2:15:55 1996
To: sue@irs.class-action.com
From: DL

A Mr. W.H. has a goal in life to reduce me to nothing. He actually threatened me by vowing to "...lien me to the fullest extent of the law".

Mr. W.H. levied my business checking account for $ 70,000.00. Yet, a letter from the IRS, sent to me the prior week asked for $ 69.37 -- for the same time period as Mr. W.H.'s levy. I have the canceled check proving payment of this levy amount. Because of this, and my phone call to his supervisor, Mr. W.H. was embarrassed and forced to apologize to me (although he did not apologize to my bank). His supervisor claimed that the Levy Notice was sent by a different department and Mr. W.H. had no knowledge of it. I replied, how could he know nothing about it, HIS SIGNATURE IS ON THE BOTTOM LEFT SIDE OF IT?

Since then, Mr. W.H. handed me warrants for my personal taxes for 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995 and allowed me 10 days to get material to him. He started asking about ownership of everything he saw. I sent his requested material on time via FEDERAL EXPRESS. When he contacted me again, he claimed to not receive the information. However, Federal Express was kind enough to provide proof of his signature. More egg on his face.

Next, I got 14 notices in 3 days informing me that the IRS has taken the liberty of changing my returns and now I owed them. A few years ago this happened and they informed me that I owed them $ 45,000.00 for 1991 alone, although my original return showed a refund of $ 13,500.00.

It seems the IRS decided I was "Married filing single" instead of "Married filing Jointly". They assigned all of the income to me and credited NONE OF THE TAX PAYMENTS to me. Therefore, according to them, I made all the money and paid NO taxes. It took 3 years to clear this up. They finally credited me for all the penalties and interest and credited me for the original $13,500. What a joke. I haven't seen any money yet. Now they say they are keeping the money because I owe taxes for 1992.

Well, low and behold, last week I had the pleasure of receiving 18 copies of Notices of Levy's to every financial institution in the State. Wow, I thought I must be important. I don't even know half of these banks. Unfortunately, the amount that I am told I now owe is $ 70,000.00. I have the canceled checks to prove payment of taxes, but I think I will have to go over Mr. WH's head because he might get egg in his face again, and the next time he might come after me with a gun.


IRS Abuse Report #117

Date: Sat Oct 5 23:50:48 1996
To: sue@irs.class-action.com
From: JR

The 1982 taxable year was held open by my signing of a waiver at the insistence of the IRS. Meanwhile, they turned my account over to their collection division and placed a $60,000 lien against my home. After a year, they acknowledged that they found my tax payment check. However, all effort to get the lien released or acknowledgment of payment has been met with no success. They continue to hound me for the alleged taxes. They contacted my employer and entered a lien against my wages. They contacted my life insurance carriers and placed a lien against the cash value of my policies. They finally contacted Merrill Lynch, where I had an Individual Retirement Account, and removed $37,000! There was no hearing, no due process -- they just took my retirement money.

In the meantime, my 10.5% mortgage could not be refinanced because of the lien. I have paid thousands of unnecessary dollars in home payments. Despite efforts by my accountant, I can not get the matter resolved. I lost my job, my home, and my wife filed for divorce on 5-5-96.

Without any notice, my checking account was seized, leaving me penniless. I'm now two mortgage payments behind, and I am in constant worry about how soon my electricity will get cut off. I like so many others, can only feel that my productivity as a tax paying citizen has certainly been diminished. Suicide is not the answer. It's reading these other letters and knowing I'm not the only one being dealt a great injustice that makes me strong. Please keep the faith and God Bless.

Thank you so much for giving people a place to vent, a place to share, a place to learn! We empathize with all of you who have described your own personal horror stories.

My husband and I have been battling the IRS for several years now. He had a severe downturn in his business, which kept us from paying self-employment taxes one year. We've never been able to catch up. And now the penalties and interest have grown so large, we'll go to our graves owing the government! Our home, our health, and our sanity are crumbling around us. Trying to raise a child in this nightmare is horrific! Our bank accounts were wiped out, we were forced to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and still the IRS keeps trying to get blood out of this turnip! We would love to pay the taxes we owe, but the penalties and interest prohibit that, and they are grossly unfair. The IRS is destroying businesses, families, lives. It's time for it to end.

From: KT

My husband and I have been on a payment plan since 1991. Our original debt to the IRS was just over $15,000. To date we have paid over $16,000, and because of interest and penalties, the IRS says we still owe another $16,000. We are almost 50, we cannot own a home, have no disposable income, and most heartbreaking, we can really do nothing to help our children and grandchild. My husband works an extra job to make the IRS payment, and I'm afraid he can't do it much longer. I don't want to end up a widow -- but no one at the IRS seems to care.

I would like to reiterate that the irs railroaded me, extorted thousands of dollars from me, hoodwinked me and seized my house, my car, my retirement account and everything that I need to sustain life.

I have documented evidence that the irs has harassed me for 16 years, that the irs fabricated documents and called it a deficiency.

Most people don't know the hurt and pain one endures at the hands of the IRS.

They don't know that the irs is guilty of murder, extortion, bribery, organized crime, and destroying american families.

So, I say to you my friend--hold on, don't let go, the only hope we have is to reveal them to the world.

People that say they're tired of hearing about IRS abuses should know that such a statement would be like the judges at the Nuremberg Trials after WW II saying they're tired of hearing from concentration camp victims about the mistreatment they suffered at the hands of Gestapo thugs.


IRS Abuse Report #124

To: sue@irs.class-action.com
From: CS

My story starts like so many others, a Final Notice of IRS Action that I received 2 days before payday. When I called the local IRS for information, they gave me an appointment the following week. You can imagine the shock I received when I was notified by payroll that my check had been siezed by the IRS. Further, my checking account had been levied.

My appointment with the IRS turned out to be the best meeting, to date, of any that I have had with them. The Agent was understanding and considerate. She worked with me and made arrangements to make payments on my debt of $19,000 for three years of back taxes.

Unfortunately, the story does not end there. Four years later, after paying $500/mo, I get another attachment. It seems that IRS Collection Agent PJ had taken over my file. One day, out of the blue, my banker calls to inform me that my checking account and savings account had just been levied. I called my employer's payroll dept. and was advised that my paycheck had also been levied.

Later that afternoon, PJ made contact by serving me with a Final Notice of Collection - after the levies had been made. She advised me that I now owed $56,000 and requested that I give her a check in that amount. I asked her how I was going to do that as she had just levied my accounts. Besides, she knew I didn't have that amount of money.

At this point, PJ seemed a little upset that I knew that she had made the levies...surprised might be a better term. Anyway, PJ informed me that if she didn't have a payment-in-full by close-of-business, this day, she would have a moving company in front of my house in the morning to impound my personal property for sale at auction to satisfy the debt.

Now let me explain what this debt consisted of: I had a business in 1979 thru 1981 and had a CPA Tax Accountant looking after my books and insuring that my taxes were paid. Unfortunately, my accountant turned out to be a criminal that took off with three years of my taxes. The IRS is about three years behind in auditing so I didn't get a notice of anything wrong until the Spring of '82. I tried to contact my accountant but received a "disconnect" on his phone number.

Well, to make a long story short, I was contacted by the State Attorney General's office advising that some of my records had been found in a burn barrel on the ranch of my accountant and would I testify against him when they found him (which ended up to be in 1992).

I filed bankruptcy in 1991, the next day from when PJ announced her intentions. My attorney advised that my Chapter 13 filing would end this episode of my life. Little did he know that the problems were just starting.

In May, 1996, the bankruptcy was over and I was just starting to take easier breaths when I received a notice from the IRS that I still owed for my back taxes. The amount is now $186,000 on a $19,000 debt.

My attorney says that they have violated a Federal Court Order of ajudication. Somehow, I don't think the IRS is concerned with a little thing like a Court Order.

This has all led to:


IRS Abuse Report #125

To: sue@irs.class-action.com
From: DD

The IRS has turned my life into a living hell since 1988, and I am so tired I don't know how I'm going to continue to stand up for my rights. I made errors on my tax returns in 86 and 87, which were discovered in an audit. I've been through a criminal investigation which destroyed my business, frightened me and my family and friends ("surprise" visits from G-men), and almost drove me to suicide. My husband was fighting cancer while this was going on, and when the IRS decided to try to prosecute me, I was broke and had a public defender, who advised me to accept a plea bargain (presented to me with less than 24 hours to decide) and plead guilty to a misdemeanor and pay a $25 fine, plus taxes and penalties, totaling $23,000. That was in 93 and I know now what a horrible mistake it was not to stand up for my innocence in court.

I paid it all off, and thought it was over. Now, 3 years later, they are back with a civil fraud charge, looking for $100,000 plus in additional penalties, penalties on top of penalties, and tons of interest dating back to 86. I've had 2 lawyers who ripped me off for big fees and did nothing. I have to find a good lawyer very soon, but am terrified of making another mistake, running out of money, and becoming totally paranoid about the IRS and their completely unchecked power and sick sadistic tactics.Today, I understand I made errors on my return because I have a severe math anxiety, and have taken steps to get help with my tax records and filings. But I've been told this defense will be laughed at in tax court, and that I don't stand a chance. Sometimes I just want to die.

The IRS has almost held me captive since 1984. Today is 1996. I have lost everything, have been unable to ever pursue real employment because everytime I do, the IRS wants more information. Their vindictive audit of my life has caused such unspeakable financial damage I will never recover from it. They must be stopped. I was chosen' to be the First American to enter into the 'new' process of Mediation with the IRS. It is a horror story of incompetance run amuck. If I can help in some way, to further your project, I will try.

Lets go get them!

A Client of mine failed to file and pay his taxes on April 15,1995. May of 1996 his taxes were finished by the accountant. He owed $32,000 for the year 1994. We obtained a payoff from the IRS for these taxes that were owed. The payoff amount was

$54,584.00

Now, to calculate this to determine the interest paid on the this amount owed the factors are:

Taxes due April 15, 1995 and paid off May 1996 would be considered by a bank a 13 month loan. Borrowing $32,000 for a period of 13 months and paying back $54,000 the remaning unknown factor is what interest rate did he pay. The interest rate he paid was 77% interest rate.


IRS Abuse Report #129

To: sue@irs.class-action.com
From: LS

I have litigated extensively against the IRS, providing documented evidence of fraud, document falsification and perjury on the part of the IRS and D.O.J. The judges don't want to hear it because they have a vested interest in supporting the IRS. My story will curl your hair and I would be pleased to continue fighting and assisting with my experience - but I think we should understand what we are up against and keep our hopes in perspective. Life goes on and so does the IRS with their bodyguards - the judges.

I became a target to the IRS when I went on TV to expose IRS corruption. I had a $17,000.00 debt to the IRS for a capital gain tax which I self reported when I "bought down" instead of choosing bankruptcy. Incidently, new 1996 legislation has remedied this ridiculous tax. I challenged the tax as illegal, (with supporting documentation), unfair, etc. but lost. The IRS began garnishing my ex husband for the tax. I became very politically vocal in criticising the IRS, exposing corruption, learning the tax laws and assisting others to fight for the meager rights they have under the code.

To punish me, the IRS scheduled a sale of my home, at the same time they garnished my ex. I told them that they couldn't sell the principal residence - especially since the debt was being satisfied through wage garnishment. I also pointed out that they violated the noticing requirements by not giving me the 40 days to secure financing prior to sale. They ignored me and held the sale - selling my $250,000.00 house with $140.000.00 equity for the debt. I did not dispair because I figured the sale would be deemed illegal when I did the inevitable action to quiet title, whereby I would prove that the noticing requirements were violated, the garnishment was in place, the house was exempt, etc. At the quiet title hearing, the special judge assigned to the proceedings scheduled two hearings. The first was an eviction hearing, the second - two months later was a trial to present evidence to challenge the title illegally conveyed to the investor. At the first hearing, I pointed out that eviction COULDN'T take place until AFTER the trial. The judge simply denied my objection and signed an eviction order - violating the automatic stay and denying me my motion to post bond pending appeal. They got armed deputies to evict me.

At the trial - two months later - I had an IRS expert to testify why the sale of the house was illegal. The judge dismissed my witness saying that since I was already evicted - the trial was moot. And yes, this is all in a certified transcript. They converted my equity to the investor leaving me destitute and homeless. I brought charges against the judge - the A.G. wasn't interested - I did a Quo Warranto and took it all the way to the W.D.C. Supreme Court. They denied it - saying my remedy is appeal. I brought an unlawful collection action in federal court - they said "dismissed" - the state court has discretion to decide federal violations and the state court did not find any (notwithstanding there was no trial!) The funniest part of the whole story is that people are being evicted from their homes with IRS Director's Deeds - which are obtained through IRS sales not judicial sales - even though the law says a JUDICIAL procedure is imperitive for due process. The judges ignore this fact. I am before the State Court of Appeals showing that an IRS sale CANNOT convey property rights - if the law is to be followed - and that everyone who has been evicted after an IRS sale has been illegally evicted if a foreclosure action wasn't done first. IRS never does proper state foreclosure actions. Anyway - I know of four other horror stories....but I think I've taken up enough space for now.

From: DC

If I can support the class action suite or contribute in any way, please let me know. I could write for pages and pages. My life, my livelihood, my marriage, my children's education, my lost half million dollar home, my levied bank accounts start to tell the story. You can add Chapter 13 and 7 bankruptcies, and a destroyed two million dollar business that employed up to 20 professionals that I built from nothing.

This business was destroyed because the IRS levied my bank accounts for over $40,000.00 without notice for taxes that I had paid in full less than three months before. An error by an agent that I would not consider hiring for the most basic tasks in my company. I honestly think she was jealous of my success. And after this... all their liability is to reimburse the bounced check fees IF I FILLED OUT THE PROPER FORMS! This caused PhDs and technical staff to leave for other jobs, with my clients in hand. If any other entity had done this I could have sued and easily been awarded multiple millions in damages. But you can't sue the IRS for enough to pay for the case! And guess who runs the tax court????! There is no accountability. No consistent line of communication. No way out once you are in their claws. I know the horror and the impossiblility of dealing with the IRS. Now they are after my wages.... So I have been fired from a decent job. Now I am the criminal! I was a strong, law abiding, tax paying citizen creating jobs and economic growth. Now I am a cynical, beaten down, rapidly aging 42 year old, with estranged wife and children. These are the things that I though nothing could take away. Not even the IRS. I was wrong......There is no winning, no breaking even and no settling the matter. IRS agents advance their careers by destroying citizens. It does not matter if the citizen is Right or Wrong. It is just how many brownie points the agent gets to advance up the ladder. No not even getting a congressman involved really helps. You just become a favorite target. There is no way to catch up with the exorbitant, userous interest and penalties..... so why try?

Then after all of this the accountants and attorneys and congressmen are all afraid to attack the IRS for fear that they will be next. It must stop. If I have to walk to Washington to testify, Count me in.


IRS Abuse Report #131

To: sue@irs.class-action.com
From: MJS

I am stating here and now to use any of this information I am giving you in any way you see fit to fight against the enemy! Use at will with no hesitation.

In 1982, when I was a sophmore in high school, my parents took out a second mortgage on their house to assist them in starting a audio/video business for me to eventually take over. In more recent years we got audited for not making enough money. Because the auditor was not familiar with the audio industry, she wanted to see everything, as if we needed to take her through business school 101 for the audio industry. In approx. October 1993 my dad and I had to show up for this audit. After insisting that they needed more documents that we had not brought to the meeting, they said they would send us a list of required documents within two weeks, without which they could not possibly finish the audit. Five months later, without ever sending us the list of required documents, they sent a revised assessment, showing how we no longer owed them the $86K of disallowed expenses, but just $35k, what a deal -- I'll go get my check book and take them up on that offer before they change their minds.

They proceeded to charge us interest on the five months, while we were waiting for them to get us this list of required docs. Obviously, they make stuff up to suit their wishes or "creativity". This idiot auditor had, in the more recent assessment, given the entire company to me, without any contract or anything, because I signed more checks then my parents. My parents and I had always been operating under the bizarre general thought that because they funded the venture in the beginning, they would remain the owners until I might, in the future, buy it from them. By the auditor "giving" the audio company to me, she gave my parents a $86K tax liability and me an $181K liabilty for the total income of the business for 1990. So, we hired a well recommended attorney, a former IRS agent, as we thought we would have an advantage getting someone who had been on the inside. After 13 months, he has managed to take $3k from us, totally ignore my dads portion of the case, and take me into the lions den, the "tax court", delivering me up to the vipers for strangulation. Though we just fired him, he intended to get paid another $3k to get me into "court" and another $3k to get me out and briefed. Of course, no promises that we would win or that he could minimize my penalty.

The IRS is a loose cannon on a deck of the titantic, heading for deep water. We must all fight to kill them asap. We are all allowed to legally audio record all of our meetings and phone calls with them,they will say crap like "there will be no recording here today" or "there will be none of that", you can quote them regs, not statues. Regs are enforcing empowering rules that allow enforcement. They usually quote statues or "code" as scare tactics, for the average person, who knows nothing of codes and regs its pretty intimadating, but you can fight, you must. You must hold them accountable for their actions. We are taking this to the end, or the top-which ever comes first-with help from all of you, together we can kill the whole mess!!! Stay alive and well, don't get off track and focus on the regulations-hold them accountable.

My SO (significant other) had been a nonfiler, even though we are not and never have been married the IRS has attached my checking account twice... I do have a letter from them stating I'm an innocent victim...but how do you explain how my SO and my 8 year old daughter can live on a take home of $150.00 per month...From May until September that is what they had to live on. I feel I am a responsible parent so unfortunately, my credit has been shot to crap since I had to make sure we had a roof over our heads...

My SO has filed bankruptcy to get them off his back.

This is just the tip of the iceberg for what the IRS has put my family through... They have come very close to ruining a family.

How can the IRS agents live with themselves for what they do to people...

I've read all the abuse reports and it just amazes me how they can get away with it...

If more people stood up to them and weren't so paranoid against them, we could put a stop to their inhumane ways....

A 1979 TAX SHELTER THAT THE IRS DIS ALLOWED. WE LOST IN COURT AND THEY HAVE IMPOSED TAX WITH INTEREST AND PENALTY IN THE AMOUNT OF $561,000 THE AMOUNT OF THE SHELTER WAS $94,000

EITHER I SELL EVERYTHING AND PAY OR THEY WILL TAKE EVERYTHING I HAVE SPENT ALL MY LIFE WORKING FOR . I AM ON SOCIAL SECURITY NOW AND THIS WOULD WIPE ME OUT. I AM A PROUD FATHER OF 5 AND I THINK THIS IS VERY UNFAIR AND I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ANY GROUP THAT HAS BEEN STUNG BY THE IRS IN THE SAME WAY AND IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT COULD HELP ME. OR IF THERE IS A GROUP THAT I COULD JOIN IN A FIGHT WITH ?

I am a retired Air Force Master Sergeant currently working and paying taxes as a teacher and service engineer and the IRS has got to be stopped NOW!!!!

In the middle 1980's I decided to start my own business. I knew a lot about this business but not a lot about being in business. I had no idea that I had a silent business partner-THE IRS.

To make a long story short, I've ended up owing them 32K with not much ability to pay. The IRS has harassed me by liens, garnishments, levys, checking and savings accounts swept clean. I will never be able to repay these taxes because of the interest and penalties.


IRS Abuse Report #136

There was a law passed which was supposed to have stopped random auditing. Because of this law, some 300 to 400 IRS employees from the Omaha, NE. and Council Bluffs area have either been terminated (Amen) or a few had been given the option to move to Mil waukee, WI. Back in 1993, I was audited on my "in home business - schedule c, for the years 1990, 1991, and 1992. after much hassling and proving over again that my schedule C was correct for 1990, 1991, and 1992, I thought that I was finally rid of th eir harassment.

Oh sure, guess what? I received correspondence in Feb of 1996 that I was being audited for 1994 on my schedule c for my in home business. I was to report to the Council Bluffs, IA. office in Feb., however, I explained to the agent that I was extremely b usy during tax time until Apr 15th, and could we move the date to some time after that. He gave me until Mar 28th over a phone conversation. To top it off, he asked me to bring along my 1993 tax return also. Now, if I remember the tax code and laws pas sed by congress about "NO MORE RANDOM AUDITS AND NO MORE AUDITS ON THE SAME ITEM FOR MORE THAN 3 YEARS IN A ROW!" Well, I asked the agent if he could send me his request in the mail. Sure enough, on the original request dated Feb, the agent added his re quest for me to bring my 1993 tax return, so that he could audit both 1993 and 1994.

NOW, this should be evidence enough that they are auditing me for more than 3 years in a row on the same item, WHICH IS A "VIOLATION OF THE BILL PASSED BY CONGRESS IN THE NO HARASSMENT LAW." I went to my audit and the auditor said that he wouldn't allow this and that as a deduction. He had the very same PARSONS TECH TAX CD ROM KIT that I used, however, he didn't know how to use it. So, he did it by hand and said that he would get back to me with what he thought was what I would owe in back taxes and in terest. When I received his statement a few months later, he had several transposition errors and he had also used some wrong numbers that he was supposed to have received from my local court house. He was wrong on some of those figures, and I responded to him by mail. He never replied, and I responded again. I still hadn't received any correspondence from him. Now he is no longer working for the IRS because of cutbacks (I guess).

Just now, the later part of November, I receive another correspondence from an IRS agent in Milwaukee, WI. saying that I have 90 days to pay up even more money or else the IRS will take action to collect by whatever means. I so damn mad now, because I ha ve to go through this crap all over again with someone, hundreds of miles away, who doesn't know squat about this whole situation. And the IRS is actually the one breaking the law, by auditing me more than the allowed 3 years on the same item, by request ing what now turns out to be a 5 year in a row audit on the same item. Just where the H___ is justice? I am at my wits end and they are approaching a $5000 figure amount that they say I still owe them. What, what...does someone at the IRS need new golf clubs? Do they know the new law that says that a taxpayer cannot be audited for more than 3 years in a row on the same item? Who hires these kind of people? Larry, Curly, and Moe?
