Protesters
The bottom line is that tax protesters
consistently lose in court and with the IRS. While their arguments might
have an attraction to some, the courts and the IRS have not been particularly
good audiences.
Most of the tax protest schemes that have
come to our attention are, in fact, frivolous. There have
been so many that we no longer spend any time analyzing them.
So please don't call and ask whether a particular ploy works.
It doesn't. It might work for a time, but only because the
IRS hasn't quite got up to speed on it. Eventually it
will.
We always suggest that tax protesters take a
look at Section 1 paragraphs (c) and (d) of the Internal Revenue
Code. Note that the tax on income is owed regardless of
whether returns or statements are filed. Bogus statements
or returns do not negate this liability. Returns must be
filed to obtain the beneficial rates for married-filing-joint or
head-of-household status. But under paragraphs (c) and
(d), an income tax is owed regardless of what the taxpayer
files. Also, look at Section 6011, which clearly states
that appropriate returns must be filed, contrary to the
allegations that the tax code doesn't require anybody to file
tax returns, that is to say the system is voluntary.
Filing tax returns is not voluntary. And for the biggie
look at Section 6020(b) which, if you don't file tax returns,
gives the IRS the authority to assess a tax against you for any
amount, no matter how erroneous that amount might be. This
club is scary. It's the subject of a short article.
Click here. Many people don't
realize that the IRS is not legally required to assess taxes
that resemble reality. The IRS loves this club.
And if you think your wages are not income,
well, we can't help you. But we are curious how you handle
the cognitive dissonance given the fact that the IRS, the
courts, and the rest of the world does not agree with you.
Talk about the death of common sense.
We have helped many victims of the tax
protest movement. They need help because they are
victimized twice. First when they buy into the tax protest
movement (which like most cults typically does cost something to
join) and second when the IRS gets a hold of them. The IRS collection
department has a special zeal for tax protesters. If you
have been the subject of IRS collection efforts, give us a call.
We can help neutralize a Revenue Officer or the Automated
Collection Division of the IRS.
