IRS Abuse Report #556Date: Tue Oct 19 0:23:33 1999

My wife and I are both teachers, and together we have never earned more than $90,000 per year. We have six children. The IRS disallowed all of our dependents and claimed that we owed an additional $5600 as an alternative minimum tax. By 1997 this grew to $33,000. I have not worked since 1994. In 1997 the IRS garnished my wife's pay and left us with $500 per month. We have consequently been financially devastated. My wife and I can only hope that our children will continue to help us.IRS Abuse Report #557

I represent over 1000 taxpayers who have been single out by the IRS for undue examination for claiming unreimbursed mileage expenses as home health nurses. I was charged with 12 counts of filing false tax returns by an agent of the IRS who I had a personal conflict over some repairs I had done to his home in 1996. The years that I was charged for I was employee of H&R Block. Two of the counts were for my own taxes and one count I didn't even prepare but was for a relative of mine.IRS Abuse Report #558

I worked for H&R Block during the 1995 tax season An IRS criminal investigator came to the H&R Block office and to my home and questioned me about some tax returns I had prepared I told him I just put down the information the taxpayers gave me. He called me about some other returns I had prepared and I told him the same thing. He then questioned me about my personal tax returns. Two years later I was indicted for filing 12 fradulent\false returns.IRS Abuse Report #559

My husband and I are honest taxpayers who have always filed our taxes on time. Two years ago we received a notice of audit for business expenses for 1995. We brought in all receipt and mileage logs. Everything was in very good order. We assumed there was no problem until nine months later we received a notice that they had denied everything and the case was now in another auditors hands. We communicated with this auditor and they then required all of 1996 returns. Then they denied all that. Then it all went to another auditor who grilled the same receipts again. Then another auditor who grilled them again. Finally we filed to take them to court because they would never tell us exactly what they were denying. Two weeks ago, two IRS lawyers and other workers, grilled my husband and our accountant for over eight hours. They then wrote a brief to the judge that was so incriminating that we dared not go to court so we settled with them and paid them $4000 that we did not even feel we should have paid. We have completely complied with every request on time. And they still charged us interest for the time they messed around. We have paid a fortune in accountant fees. The biggest cost has been emotional stress. Our marriage is permanently damaged. Our children have suffered terribly because of lost time with them because we had to prepare for numerous audits. We have lost time at work and my husbands work has questioned his credibility because of the IRS's request to get letters and documents from the company. This has been an incredible strain on our finances. And the topper is just two days after we signed the agreement to pay with them we received a notice to audit 1998. We feel violated, used, abused and targeted. This will mean that they have audited three out of the past four years. And I am almost sure once they get to 1998 the will request 1997. This to us is harassment and I just don't know how much more stress I and my family can take. Our personal and professional life has deteriorated. We are only middle income people who struggle to do our taxes in the most honest way we know how.

My husband's Company was the victim of a hostile take over from corrupt business associates, they gutted the company, ran it deep into debt and left him(my husband) holding the bag. We ended up dissolving the company. There were lawsuits that followed and after mountains of bills and appeals we finally were found to be in the right. Soon after this happened our house was raided by IRS agents armed with guns and sledge hammers. My husband and I are 63 years of age and have never been a threat to anyone. I was never identified as a target of the investigation yet I was denied my rights to use the phone or leave my home and was threatened with restraints. My husband was questioned without representation for 11 hours straight. The charges they accused him of were all criminal charges. We found out later that the star IRS informant was one of the corrupt business associates who we earlier had defeated in the Supreme Court. After a year of harassment the IRS could not prove any of their criminal charges and are now trying to save face by pursuing a nickel and dime case of failing to file on time which we have proof that would absolve us of that. This will end up costing us over a hundred thousand dollars in legal fees.
