More Victories 12

The refunds reflected in the following checks and notices include EVERYTHING-- Social Security 'contributions' and all-- which was withheld from the private-sector earnings of these upstanding Americans during the relevant years, unless otherwise indicated. These good folks learned the truth, and then simply, and courageously, insisted on lawful behavior from their servant government.

(Actually, this is only the total of the checks and notices I have been sent for posting. Adding what has been merely reported to me would raise the figure a great deal; no doubt the actual overall total of what has been received by readers-- including those who have not shared the news-- is much higher still.)

Kurt Rowe

Kurt got word March 14th from "his" credit union that it intended to turn over his money to another party (the IRS) in response to nothing more than a slip of paper alleging a tax debt for 2001. Kurt immediately called the IRS and informed the agent responsible that he had recently filed a 1040 for that year, and there was no debt. The agent asked Kurt to fax a copy of the return, which he did. After looking over Kurt's educated filing, the agent immediately released the levy.

(I hope that all those who pull their business from the credit union involved in this little affair go to the trouble of explaining why they are doing so to the management. It'd be good for the cause...)

Pitman Buck

CtC Warrior Pitman Buck, who recently received a "CP2000" notice by which the IRS proposed he owed a tax because:

has transformed the situation to:

by simply re-iterating clearly to the balky 'service' that he didn't engage in any federally-connected activities during 2004-- instead, his earnings were all private-sector only, and he really meant it when he rebutted the erroneous "information returns" to the contrary issued by those who had paid him during that year by way of his filing.

Needless to say, no one should have to waste paper, stamps, and time repeating themselves, just because the beneficiaries of ignorance about the "income" tax don't want to face the facts, and harbor misplaced optimism about being able to intimidate those who know the truth into retreating into servility. Still, all's well that ends well, and I suppose that in light of the past decades of success the tax agencies have enjoyed in exploiting ignorance, an occasional reflexive resort to past bad practices is to be understood (even if not forgiven)... The docs excerpted above, and Pitman's re-iteration of the facts, can be enjoyed here.

Even in the face of the requirements of the law, the junkyard dog is still trying to play its losing hand in a few cases-- particularly where amended returns, in which the filer necessarily disputes his or her own previous testimony, are concerned. Significantly, not once in any of these efforts to discourage or stonewall a proper filing does the government actually challenge or dispute the accuracy of what is revealed in 'Cracking the Code-...'

Despite the fact that those whose victories are on display here did nothing but insist that the law be applied as it is written, they did so in the face of fearful threats and cunning disinformation from the beneficiaries of corruption. Their actions took great courage and commitment, and I salute them all.
