This is an absolute shame... Re: IRS Terrorism Date: Fri, 3 Mar 2000 11:02:36 -0600 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] A Small IRS Terrorism Project by Paul Stout This is a report of the continuing IRS operation to terrorize one old man and his wife. Paul Stout is 81 years old and is in feeble health as a result of a stroke and a heart attack. His wife is a house-bound invalid, suffering from celiac sprue, aortic aneurism, and other serious disorders. They live on Social Security and a small commercial pension which the IRS is threatening to levy. Now the IRS has obtained a US District court order to seize and sell our home of many years for alleged taxes. At issue was whether the IRS has ever made a lawful, procedurally correct assessment; that is, an assessment that conforms to statute and the Federal Tax Regulations. The government simply refused to produce any such assessment. The court ruled that a substitute document not conforming to the statutory requirements would suffice. The court refused to allow this issue of fact to be heard by a jury, as was our due process right. The judge admitted that he had the power to prevent the sale of our home "in order to protect a co-owner who is not liable" (my wife), in furtherance of the "innocent spouse" doctrine. But he refused to prevent the sale, thus making a mockery of the concept of "innocent spouse", and making my wife an innocent victim of the vindictiveness of the IRS. We cannot appeal these issues, because no lawyer would lift a finger for what we could afford to pay. The IRS claimed to Rep. Henry Hyde that it is powerless to intervene in the situation on grounds of hardship or for any other reason. This is not true. According to law, the Secretary or the Attorney General can intervene. The Taxpayer Advocate Office (Ombudsman) has complete authority to order the IRS to cease any action that is a hardship, or for any other reason. But in this case of manifest and serious hardship the IRS claims to be "powerless" to do anything. The eventual result of this "caper" will be to render two feeble old people homeless and destitute. Hardship? The IRS doesn't think so. Does anyone? Paul and Florence Stout 150 N.
