                           IRS Abuse Report #150

         Recently, I was told the following by an IRS employee,
         and I quote:

         'We at the I.R.S. are doing the job we were commissioned
         by Congress to do. We are people, like you and your
         neighbors, and we don't deserve abuse and attacks from
         the citizens we serve.'

         Thanks to your web site, I looked him square in the eye
         and said:

         ‘You moron, blaming your employer for making you steal
         people's money and harass them is the biggest cop-out I
         have ever seen. YOU are responsible for your own
         actions. If it weren't for robotic nitwits like you to
         carry out unjust laws, we would live in a free society.
         It is not just Congress to blame. Any honest person
         would find employment elsewhere where he could PRODUCE
         profit instead of coercing profit away from those that
         do. There is no escaping the fact that YOU are to blame
         for assisting in the carrying-out of any injustice your
         employer/government asks of you.

         Fully-integrated honesty makes it dreadfully clear. I
         think it's time you use it and become a valuable,
         productive, and conscious MAN. Earn an honest living
         instead of destroying what others have worked so hard
         for. Blaming what you do on your employer absolves you
         of no guilt at all. The admonitory finger of Reason
         still points right at you, mister. You absolutely
         deserve to be ‘treated shabbily for doing [your] job,’
         for by doing it you show yourself to be nothing but a
         shabby excuse for a man.

         Thanks to Neo-Tech your days are numbered.’

         My husband and I recently (October 1996) settled with
         the IRS by an Offer-In-Compromise. This ended a 7-year
         battle where the IRS lost files for over 2 years, lied,
         never had any accountability, ruined our credit, seized
         our bank account WITHOUT prior notification, levied my
         husband's income WITHOUT prior notification, and so on.

         To be able to pay for the amount as defined by the IRS
         as to what they would accept for an Offer In Compromise
         (which really didn't compromise anything on the IRS's
         part), we had to refinance our home. We closed on
         10/8/96 and a check for $23,116 was sent via Federal
         Express for delivery on 10/9/96.

         Today (2/19/97) I find that there are still liens filed
         against my home. I contacted the IRS and was advised
         that the Collections division that handles Offers still
         show in their computer system that our debt is OWED!!!

         THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!! We paid our debt and the IRS is
         still inflicting their pain on me and my husband. Our
         credit is still being flagged for debts that we don't
         even owe.

         I either want the $23,116 that we paid out PLUS interest
         OR I want to see the IRS done away with.

         I too am on the payment plan with the IRS. I am also
         permanently disabled with a congenital cardiac condition
         that I recently had surgery for. I waited too long for
         the surgery so there was permanent damage to my heart
         muscle. I am 49. I do not receive public assistance, I
         was fortunate enough to have private disability
         insurance coverage. I have worked since I was 14 and
         never received any public assistance. A large part of my
         insurance payments each month goes to the IRS on a
         payment plan to pay back taxes they say I owe. I cannot
         afford a tax attorney so I keep paying but with
         penalties and interest the principle doesn't go down. I
         have been threatened with bank account seizure, which
         doesn't amount to much but my credit is still good and I
         want to protect it. I don't have property for them to
         seize except a car that my wife needs for work. So I
         will keep paying, probably for the rest of my life. I
         thought the amendment against slavery passed. I suppose
         the IRS overseers haven't read the constitution.

         Dear Sir: On February 12 1997, I had the unfortunate
         opportunity of the IRS to enter my place of business and
         proceed with the closure of same. I was sent a certified
         letter on Jan 09,1997 stating that I had thirty days to
         respond and I did on Jan 20, 1997 with a registered
         letter. The next communication that I had with the IRS
         was on February 12. When they entered my business and
         proceeded to close such business. They had the locks
         changed, put out bids on merchandise that had cost at
         wholesale $1919.00 for $638.00. Made the community think
         that I had done something Illegal and almost destroyed
         my creditability as a business. What really angers me is
         their ability to enter a business and do whatever they
         like whenever they like. My business is a florist and
         bridal, needless to say that the week they entered my
         business was the week of Valentines, a florist’s busiest
         week of the year. By entering my shop, the IRS, cost me
         approximately $8000.00 of business. Is there nothing we
         as business people and taxpayers can do other than go
         along with the GESTAPO of THE UNITED STATES??? Is there
         not a new law that was passed in '96 that prevents the
         IRS from Malicious Collection?




                           IRS Abuse Report #154

         My 73 year old mother (who lives alone on a low fixed
         income). She was audited by the IRS last year for her
         1993 tax return, which had been prepared by a tax
         accountant. She had never been audited before and has
         never done anything out of the ordinary or dishonest on
         her tax returns. According to the tax accountant in
         1993, she owed the IRS about $800, which she scraped
         together and paid on time with her return. The IRS wrote
         back and said her return was in error. THEY actually
         owed HER $1300, they sent her check back and included a
         check to her for the $1300! She happily put the check in
         her bank account and counted it a blessing.

         Now, after last years audit, the IRS told her they had
         made a mistake on her 1993 tax return, and that she
         actually owed them $3000 plus the $1300 they had paid
         her WITH INTEREST!!!, and they wanted the full amount
         IMMEDIATELY, or large penalties would begin to accrue.
         She had no say in the matter whatsoever. After
         consulting with a known good tax accountant, she had to
         take the money out of her retirement savings to pay off
         the IRS, and the whole incident cost her a great deal of
         stress and grief, not to mention the money. Do the
         heartless thugs at the IRS have nothing better to do
         than harass an elderly woman out of her retirement
         savings, because they and/or an accountant screwed up?
         These thieves should be put behind bars where they
         belong, not running the most corrupt and feared
         government institution in our country. Abolish the IRS!
