I was the innocent spouse of an attorney who did not file taxes. I did
file my own taxes though. The IRS came to my home, terrorized my family,
sold my home and searched for any assets they could locate. I have 5
children and at that time in the early 1980's they were still quite
young. I was brought into the main IRS office intimidated by the top 3
officials at that office, told that I would be jailed if I did not talk,
and if I did not come up with the money. They invaded my home another
day and sat observing the pool and asked how it would feel if I no
longer had this. my children were present in an adjacent room. At the
time this occurred I was an aspiring real estate agent who had made
rookie of the year and was on the way to fame and fortune. Because of
the stress of being thrown out of my home and not being able to
concentrate on my work, I found myself in the intensive care unit of the
local hospital with a serious heart attack at the age of forty four. I
was out of work for quite some time and never recovered the level of
energy to reach the top of the industry. Over the following years I was
audited 4 years in a row.

constantly under siege by the IRS for the last 11 years (bankrupt
in 1992 lost everything). Any offer in Compromise has been refused
and currently IRS has my pay levied so my take-home for family
of five is $244. I am currently facing power cutoff, repossession
of cars, gas disconnected, phone cutoff and loss of family home
(my wife and I have 3 boys 15,12,10). The IRS has refused to release
my pay until we settle.

I grew up in New England were I was taught if I worked hard
and paid into social security I would have a good
retirement. My father grew up in the depression, we were
emigrants from Canada and they thought AMERICA was the land
of opportunity. My parents were not educated people but they
worked hard and built a very well known trucking company.
At the age of nine my farther took me to the Post Office to
get my Social Security Number and he said some day son,
you'll thank me for this because when you're old like your
grandparents, you'll have money coming in.
In 1979,80,81, my wife and her father, a 20-year military
man, and a ten year EASTMEN KODAC employee, thought we
should invest our hard earned money. My farther-in-law was a
intelligent man, patriotic, and very honest. At the time of
making this investment, I was working for $11 dollars an
hour, working 70-hour weeks, in a rock quarry running a
loader. I spent an average of $20 dollars a week on myself
and the rest we put into the investment. It came as a shock
when people started to call asking about bad checks, the IRS
had just reached into my bank account and took the money. I
couldn't get a lawyer because they took my money and put
leans and levies against everything I owned
Well the investments we made turned out to be a scam, I lost
about $12,000, my farther-in-law lost $24,000. I deducted a
$3,000 loss on taxes which the IRS disallowed. The first
bill I received was for 15K, the second was for 24K. The IRS
put leans and levies on everything I owned, plus took
returns of up to $3,500 for 6 years. I always had a CPA do
my taxes, I have never been late on my taxes, and I have
always claimed single dependents, even when I was married.
I finally sold the house and paid capital gains just to get
the money to pay the IRS and stop the penalties and
interest. Previously, I owed no money to credit cards or
anyone else, yet my credit is now ruined, I cant by a house
or a car. It cost me my marriage.
After I paid the IRS I received a statement saying my
account was paid in full, I was glade it was over! But two
years later, the IRS came back and said they “readjusted'
the figures and I owed another $30,000 dollars.
I guess my farther-in-law was the lucky one, the day the IRS
took his money out of his bank account and put leans and
levies against his property, he had a hart attack and died.

I have rented my home, given my dog away and I have made out
my will and taken care of any financial matters that I am
able to supervise. (What little I have left after what the
IRS has done.) My next letter is a suicide note. This is all
due to what the IRS has done to me. I have been convicted of
IRS crimes. The real criminal is the auditor who did not
meet a filing deadline and to keep his job, turned this
matter over to the Criminal Investigation division of the
IRS.
I have been followed, I understand that there is a mail
intercept on my postal service. My home, office and car
have been entered and documents and other items have been
taken. My family and friends have been threatened. So far,
after today, including my death, from the pressure and
threats of the IRS, there will have been three deaths
associated with what has occurred. I have had two IRS agents
go to the offices of friends that were helping me, flash
badges at everyone there and so intimidate the persons
present that most will not even acknowledge that they know
me. To these persons, my former friends, they have accused
me of theft, coercion and other actions that never did
occur.
Where is the justice? I grew up in a foreign family and was
taught from the time I was a small child that this is the
greatest country on earth. I loved this country. I have lost
everything. The IRS has even gone to my insurance company
and has told them that I have committed insurance fraud.
They have followed me, tapped my phone illegally, sat
outside my house and watched me and made phony calls to
other governmental agencies and private companies stating
“anonymously' that I have done certain things. And why? I
do not owe them a dollar, a cent or a nickel. The reason is
they do this because they CAN, they answer to no one. I am
handicapped and rather than go to a Federal Prison, I am
going somewhere where they can never touch me again, they
can never call me, they can never write me and they can no
longer harm me.
So take my dead body and hold it as a prisoner, you can no
longer get to my being and my soul. If the stories on this
page are not enough to show the American Public and our
elected officials that the IRS is a holding tank for
sickness and evil, then there is something wrong. If you
have a US Congressman or a US Senator to whom you have
access, write, call, campaign and make your voice known.
I tried everything possible, but I had no success and I see
no way out but to take my life. If it was only money, I
would live in the streets as long as I could have peace. But
the harassment on the phone and the following and watching
me is too much to take. I am unable to defend myself in any
manner from these forces of the Devil. If the IRS is reading
this, you know exactly what I am speaking of and you most
likely know who I am. You know the reports that have been
sent by public agencies and persons who have complained—at
least in the beginning -- of what was done to me and to them
because they told you a truth that you did not what to
hear. You took no actions against those in your
organization who were breaking the law. You allowed someone
with police reports of his misconduct to deal directly with
the taxpayer and told him, additionally, that he needed to
prove he was right and the taxpayer was wrong. What did you
think that this situation would lead to? The worst thing
that you did was soil the name of those that are innocent to
protect your dirty secrets. God will deal with you. You may
live on this material earth and hide your evilness, but you
cannot hide the truth and it will come out.
What you do not know is that I spent much time recording
some of the lovely phone calls of the threats that were made
to me by your agents. These tapes are in a place to which
you can never get and have no idea where they are, do you?
Or you would have taken them, too. Where are you going to
hide these sick people when all of this comes out. When I
called a help line to find help and to report what had been
done to me, I got the IRS and was told that in addition to
what had already been done to me, that if I had taped any of
the sick calls that I had received that I would be
prosecuted. You police your own and all you do is use your
power to hide the atrocities that have been committed. I
understand that when another taxpayer commits suicide that
there is a celebration in your office. You can hide on this
earth, but someday you will face judgment from a power much
greater than you. I know in my heart I have made peace with
God. Can you say this? God knows the truth and you, the IRS,
knows the truth as well. You know who stole the documents
and you know who did the illegal wiretaps and you know you
have been taking my mail. You know that what has been done
to me makes me a victim of a system that should be done away
with.
