By 1990, petitioner had become a tax protester and adopted tactics designed to evade the payment of tax and harass those whom he thought were interfering with his scheme. The first thing petitioner did was to drop out of the commercial banking system, and thereafter he dealt primarily in cash. Then he attempted to stop withholding on his paychecks by filing false Forms W-4. Specifically, on April 16, 1991, he filed a Form W-4 with the City claiming 30 allowances; prior thereto, he had claimed 5 allowances that resulted in withholding close to his actual tax liability. Upon receipt of this Form W-4, the City notified the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in accordance with a regulatory requirement.
