When the taxpayers were mailed Letter 1058, Final Notice-Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to a Hearing, the taxpayers responded with Form 12153, attaching several pages of non-filer arguments. At the hearing the taxpayer was explained the Appeals process and he stated that he had been through several hearings before and that they were a waste of time. At the hearing Appeals provided the following docu- ments: a) A copy of the memorandum of 5/2/02 stating audio and stenographic recordings of Appeals cases will no longer be allowed; b) Copies of the form 2866 to which the forms 4340, Certificate of Assessment, are annexed for the period in dispute; c) A copy of the pamphlet “Why do I have to Pay Taxes”; d) A copy of “The Truth About Frivolous Tax Arguments”; e) A list of I.R.C. code sections defining in- come, who must file, etc.; When Appeals tried to explain that the court could impose sanctions, he stated, “that no court case was like his.” When Appeals again explained that sanctions could indeed be imposed for the same types of arguments the taxpayer was raising, he didn’t say anything. The taxpayer was asked if he were interested in collec- tion alternatives such as an offer in compromise, or an installment agreement, and was reminded that all re- turns due to date must be appropriately filed for the offer to be considered, or for an installment agree- ment, but he is not in filing compliance and was un- willing to discuss collection alternatives. When asked if all returns had been filed, he replied that he filed what he felt were appropriate returns.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Next
