IRS Abuse Report #642 Date: Mon Aug 6 17:24:32 2001

I am a seventy-three year old, single (divorced) woman who is struggling to make ends meet, and barely keeping my head above water. I am a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and work for the Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center. I am now in my sixth year there. This is a minimum six-month residential drug treatment program. Needless to say, this is not a high paying job. For some unfathomable reason the IRS has decided they need to audit me again. This is the third time in ten years t hat they have decided to do so. I'm not on welfare. I get a bare minimum Social Security check based on my ex-husband's part earnings, not on mine, because I didn't work then. I stayed home and raised our four children which is what women did in those day s. I do not understand why I am being harassed. The public relations claim of the IRS stating that they are conducting more appropriate audits certainly does not stand up in my case. This is causing me horrendous stress and anxiety which was greatly incre ased when I received a statement from them saying I owed approximately $9000!!!! This is totally insane. Help!!!IRS Abuse Report #643

IRS smacked me down hard. They took half my military pension for a year (about 6000 bucks). IRS wants more. I owe more than I can pay. My fleeing for my life and living in the shadows is imminent. There will be a terrible retribution in this god forsaken country for this evil being perpetrated on IRS victims, it has to happen. Heads have rolled, governments overthrown, and revolutions begun over less heinous power broker crimes. Any single member of the Govt. of these States that doesn't think these acts of IRS piracy are crimes are fools and traitors. IRS agents, calling it your job don't make it right. All this from a 21 year decorated Navy retiree. I don't want to live here anymore.....IRS Abuse Report #644

I am a 32 year old mother of 3 young children. It all started with an audit back in 1991. I was threatened into taking a plea or they would put me in prison. My audit took 3 three years. My accountant went to prison and I was 22 years old, I had no idea this accountant was a cheat. In 1994 I had a 1 year old and a 2 year old, the thought of prison terrified me, my children needed their mom. The out come was still terrible, I owed $26,000 due to a shady accountant who thought he did me a favor. I took a g uilty plea and received a felony, 5 years probation, 6 months home jail, and to top it all off I now owed $144,000 after penalties and interest.
How do you start over after that? For the sake of my children I found the strength. In 1994 I worked very hard to get rid of the debt. The IRS took a compromise and they were paid in full! Try getting a job with a felony, what a joke. In 1998 they let me off Federal Probation 1 year early for good behavior, but at my dismay I found out they never stopped investigating me. The IRS went to a grand jury trying to indict me for taxes, they lost. After they lost, they pulled me in their office and told me in front of my attorney to go back to my accountant and find $80,000 dollars that were missing. There was not 1 cent missing. That was blackmail. They said if I didn't take their plea they would charge me with money laundering. That's not true, I didn't com mit any crime I was just a target and always will be. Again they go back to indict me, then another plea offer charging me on someone else's merchant account. How do they get away with this extortion and abuse? I have spent 10 years fighting with the IRS and defending myself from lies. I would have really liked to have spent those years enjoying my 3 children. The Government took that from me.(just another thing they took).IRS Abuse Report #645

The IRS has caused serious health problems for me and others who are employed by me, who have had to deal with they're forceful unwarranted intrusions. Panic attacks and recurring anxiety attacks are very unhealthy, I have been dealing with them for several years now and every payment plan has been one sided, when your back is against the wall with them, it feels like life or death. My family has suffered immensely watching my severe chronic depression. I feel as though my rights have been violated.IRS Abuse Report #646

The IRS is suing the estate of my dead mother, who supposedly committed suicide after an embezzlement investigation of a charity in Santa Clara California. The estate has been executed and has no assets. This lawsuit comes fully 4 years after a criminal investigation of the estate by the district attorney which showed the estate to be clean. The IRS claims it is owed over $300,000 in back taxes based on testimony of two convicted felons, who are co-operating with the IRS, (we don't know why), and state they gave my mother over $1,000,000 from 1995 to 1997 in cash. No other evidence exists. The estate assets were long term investments over many years, and no money laundering was shown after investigation of the assets going back 15 years. The premises were searched and nothing found. The estates inventory listed no cash assets let alone one million in cash. None-the-less the IRS choices to assume a role of criminal prosecutor. As executor, I was forced to Hire a Tax attorney, who has informed me that this will cost me personally about $25,000 to $35,000 to defend, and probably involve several years. I questioned him about the new laws out where the IRS is supposed to pay attorneys fees in these frivolous cases. He told me, "Well that's what they tell you, but I've never won one, even after taking it to appeals." Thus far this has cost me $10,000. It seems an executor can be liable for taxes on estate assets, that the estate never had, nor was ever listed in the estate inventory. Take advise from me, if some asks you to be executor, refuse.IRS Abuse Report #647

In the year 2001 they denied my child as a dependant. I got a letter asking for my proof of dependants, I faxed my sons birth info, school recorders....they never responded. I call constantly still get no response, finally I was told by an office worker to fax the info. to Brenda at (xxx-xxx-xxx), I waited two weeks still no response. I even contacted the tax advocate program, they got in touch with my case worker and asked him or her to call, no one called. Now this year they say I owe them because I can still not claim my son as a dependant. They have left me in a severe bind for money, money I counted on to live. Just two weeks ago I went to my local IRS office and had them fax the same info and send a letter -- you know nothing has changed I'm s till waiting for an answerIRS Abuse Report #648

A business I worked for had a dissolution of partnership. The main investor approached me to keep the business running to pay down the debt in exchange for owning the business years down line after all debt was paid off. The previous partners had a tax de bt on 941 taxes. An arrangement was made to make 1000 dollar payments per month on the past due amount. One month I decided the company needed to move to a smaller warehouse. I talked the move over with the agent and came up with a plan to prepay 8 months of installment payments to buy some time and not have a monthly bill due. She agreed to the arrangement and the cashiers check even noted that I was paying 8 installment payments on the agreement. Then next month the IRS claimed I owed a $1000 payment. I mentioned the arrangement I had made with the IRS officer. They disagreed and seized the business two weeks later. When they came in they had enough agents to wage war, and several agents in black trench coats with who know what under them. At the time I offered them 3000 dollars, or if they would allow me to finish a job we were printing to pay the entire debt off in three days. Five minutes later after threats of having me arrested by sheriffs, my entire life, income, 20 years of hard work, my employee s jobs, my customer's assets were gone. During the thirty days prior to auction I offered all I could come up with, they never got back to me. On the day of the auction I still offered all the money I had, my employees volunteered their own money. They r efused all offers saying it was too late. They sold 1.5 million dollars of equipment for $37,000. The bank had first rights to the money and took it all, so the IRS got paid nothing!!! They just wanted to terrorize and destroy someone. To this day I can not get a refund on any personal taxes. I lost everything. I have since gone bankrupt, lived on the street, my children have gone without food, the IRS is as evil as any enemy of the people.IRS Abuse Report #649

It started in 1989, we made some mistakes in the amount of deductions from our pay and ended up owing the IRS about $2000.00. At the time we were just barely getting by. We got a payment plan and that was that, we thought. I was in Aerospace and my wife w as in Land Title. Both crashed in 1990 and we were both laid off within a month of each other. We lost our house. The IRS came in and said we had a $12,000 capitol gains bill from the foreclosure. After 6 months we finally were back to work but the bill w ith interest and penalties had risen to $20,000. The payment plan they put us on (since we could only afford a small amount) did nothing to the balance. Over the next 4 years the bill increased to $25,000. We bit the bullet and hired an attorney to do an Offer in Compromise. It was done and accepted. The end?.....not on your life! The IRS officer said that if we ended up owing any taxes during the payoff period the Offer in Compromise would be void and we would owe all the taxes as before. Ok, I asked "th is year I think we owe a small amount, what should we do" The officer replied "don't worry about it, just pay it". "Ok". Before we were able to send the check (which was only weeks after the Offer in Compromise was accepted) the IRS came back and VOIDED t he Offer in Compromise due to us owing the taxes for that same year we got the Offer in Compromise. Well, to date the bill is now up to $75,000 and $5000 in lawyer's fees. Today, we just got the news, our new Offer in Compromise which was in essence the s ame as the first one was REJECTED!! The appeal process could lest 2 years now. I wonder what the bill will be by then. GOD IN HEAVEN...HELP US!! Until the appeal is completed we cannot have any more income than we have now. I must turn down any raises, b onuses, any extra income of any kind. Anything we could have done to try to catch the American Dream is now down the tubes for two more years.
