On November 24, 2003, a settlement officer with the Appeals
Office held a hearing with petitioner with respect to the notice
of intent to levy. During that hearing, petitioner continued to
object on religious and moral grounds to paying tax.
On April 27, 2004, petitioner sent a letter (petitioner’s
April 27, 2004 letter) to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in
Atlanta, Georgia. That letter stated in pertinent part:
For the last 3 years I have requested that all of my
withholdings be returned on religious and moral
grounds. Even though I have cited examples of groups
that claim this type of exemption you continue to deny
it and at the same time refuse to provide 1 code refer-
ence to back up your claim that everyone must pay. To
date you are still holding $1700 of my money.
Enclosed you will find my 2003 return, including
some of the documentation of my deductions which you
have questioned in the past. Also, you will find
amended returns for 2002 & 2001. It came to my atten-
tion this year that the Child Tax Credit on line 49 did
not refer to the Earned Income Credit as I had thought.
It’s one of my long-standing opinions that our tax
system itself is immoral and fraudulent since it’s
impossible for anyone to know that they’ve paid the
right amount. This error has proved my point, espe-
cially since you were trying to collect $503.33 even
though you owe me $421.17.
As I see it the 2001 return shows I owe $859, but
the 2002 & 2003 returns leave $1629 in unclaimed cred-
its. Thus leaving more than enough to cover the debt
and still restore the $652 paid in 2001. Add the $421
(2002) and $621 (2003) and you owe me $1700. This
won’t settle our dispute over our religious exemption
issue but it will mean that none of my money has gone
to fund abortions, and that is good enough for me now!
Petitioner enclosed with petitioner’s April 27, 2004 letter
to the IRS Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return
