IRS’s daily operating practices routinely, and by design, deny the average citizen due process of law to perpetuate the unlawful collection of income taxes.  A tax system that violates the basic protection of due process is not constitutional.

Questions 256a - 280

Examples

  1. a.  Admit that after IRS has audited a taxpayer, and there is disagreement, the Code of Federal Regulations requires IRS to take certain procedural steps to ensure the TAXPAYER administrative level action for hearings on those disagreements, including an examination of the audit with the agent, followed by a meeting with the IRS' agent's supervisor, followed by a 30-day letter which sets out the IRS's disputed items with the TAXPAYER and an administrative appeal of the IRS' decision on the audit.

    See 26 C.R.F.601.105 and 601.106
    Exhbit 160a
  1. b.  Admit that that the purpose of these administrative steps is to afford the TAXPAYER an opportunity to have his disputed audit resolved at the administrative level? In other words, that these are pre-court or pre-litigation steps, which are designed to help the People avoid the expensive procedure known as Tax Court?
  1. c.  Admit that if the dispute is not resolved at the administrative level, the taxpayer is forced into Tax Court.
  1. d.  Admit that IRS Publication 1, IRS Publication 5 and IRS Publication 556, are all given to the taxpayer during the audit through appeals procedure and that these publications state that these administrative, procedural (due process) steps are available to the TAXPAYER.

    See IRS Publication 1, IRS Publication 5 and IRS Publication 556
    Exhibit 160a,160b,160c
  1. e.  Admit that when the People request these administrative, procedural (due process) steps, they are almost always denied.
  1. f.  Admit that Tax Court is an extremely expensive remedy for the individual TAXPAYER.
  1. g.  Admit that the IRS is the only party that benefits as taxpayers are forced into Tax Court.
  1. h.  Admit that the Tax Court, in Minahan v Commissioner 88 T.C. 492, ruled that the taxpayer must demand his procedural, due process rights or any right he might ever have to obtain attorney fees in a favorable outcome of his case is automatically in jeopardy.

    See Minahan v Commissioner 88 T.C. 492
    Exhibit 160d
  1. i.  Admit that the Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998 requires the TAXPAYER to go through these administrative, procedural (due process) steps in order to prove his "cooperativeness" with IRS, and to shift the burden of proof to the IRS during the administrative hearing and at trial.

    See Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998, Section 3001
    See also 26 USC Section 7491
    Exhibit. 160e, 160f
  1. j.  Admit that the IRS routinely ignores the Peoples' demands for their procedural, due process, statutory rights, ignoring IRS publications 1, 5, and 556, the regulations they are supposed to use in making their determination and the underlying statutes.
More Examples - IRS Agents Encouraged to Deny Due Process
  1. k.  Admit that there is no penalty for the IRS agents if they violate the income tax statutes by denying the People their due process rights, but the statutes contain a multitude of penalties for the People if they violate the income tax statutes, and those penalties are almost always imposed.

    See Index of IRS Tax Code, Penalties
    Exhibit 160g
  1. l.  Admit that the IRS will often deny a person his administrative, statutory, due process rights because the statute of limitation (26 I.R.C. 6501 et. seq.) is running out for them to get the statutory Notice of Deficiency (26 I.R.C. 6212) out and they are in fear of losing the whole year of taxation from that person.

    See 26 I.R.C. 6501 et. seq.
    See also 26 I.R.C. 6212
    Exhibit 160h,160i
More Examples - How to Fabricate a Notice of Deficiency
  1. m.  Admit that the IRS races to issue a STATUTORY NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY, 26 I. R. C. 6212, rather than give the People their due process rights to administrative level resolution under C.F.R. 601.605, 601.606, because the IRS has greater resources and power in TAX COURT.
  1. n.  Admit that a Notice of Deficiency is, in most cases, completely erroneous, and always greatly in favor of the IRS.
  1. o.  Admit that many people default on their Notice of Deficiency because they don't have the money to get to Tax Court.
  1. p.  Admit that IRS often uses erroneous figures for Income when they send out a Notice of Deficiency.

See 26 I.R.C 6212
Exhibit 160

  1. r.  Admit that the result of this the fact is that the TAXPAYER is often sent an entirely false Notice of Deficiency.
  1. s.  Admit that 26 I.R.C. 6211 is used to determine how a deficiency is made and it does not allow for "0" deductions when the TAXPAYER has claimed deductions.

See 26 I.R.C. 6211 
Exhibit 159

  1. t.  Admit that the Tax Court has, however, ruled that the use of "0" line deduction in IRS issued Notices of Deficiency is permissible, even if the taxpayer has claimed deductions.
  1. u.  Admit that the law (26 I.R.C. 6211 Definition of Deficiency) does not permit the "bank deposit analysis" method of determining gross income of a person.

    See 26 I.R.C. 6211   
    Exhibit 159

  1. v.  Admit that the IRS routinely issues Notices of Deficiency that are based on assessments that the IRS makes without following its own procedures and manuals.
  1. w.  Admit that the issuance of a Notice of Deficiency or "90 day Notice" letter is the triggering event and a person so receiving such a letter must file his case in Tax Court within 90 days or forever be held to the often totally false liability assessed in the grossly false Notice of Deficiency.

    See 26 USC 2613
    Exhibit 160j
  1. x.  Admit that this is why the administrative, statutory due process steps are so important.
  1. y.  Admit that the federal district court has refused to reach the merits of a claim that Tax Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction in those cases where the IRS has issued Notices of Deficiency after denying the taxpayers their administrative, statutory due process rights.
  1. z.  Admit that the IRS Handbook for Examination of Returns reads in part, "Examiners are responsible for determining the correct tax liability as prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code. It is imperative that examiners can identify the applicable law, correctly interpret its meaning in light of congressional intent, and, in a fair and impartial manner, correctly apply the law based on the facts and circumstances of the case.

    See IRS' Handbook 4.2 Examination of Returns Handbook, [4.2] 7.1
    Exhibit 160k
Pro Se Van FOIA their IMF-Say What???
The Heart of the Fraud or Tax Court" Shamx Court
  1. aa.  Admit that the IRS Handbook for Examination of Returns also reads in part, " Conclusions reached by examiners must reflect correct application of the law, regulations, court cases, revenue rulings, etc. Examiners must correctly determine the meaning of statutory provisions and not adopt strained interpretation."
  1. bb.  Admit that when a taxpayer requests what regulations and statutes the examiner used in making his determination of tax liability, the IRS refuses to cite the law.
  1. cc.  Admit that without an assessment there can be no liability.
  1. dd.  Admit that the IRS disclosure officers are making the assessments.
  1. ee.  Admit that that there is no law in which a disclosure officer is authorized to make an assessment.

  1. gg.  Admit that that there are over 100 regulations that apply to Form 1040 cross referenced by OMB #1545-0074, and that the IRS refuses to identify which ones they use in making determinations that a citizen is liable to file a Form 1040 and is liable to pay the tax.
  1. hh.  Admit that a lien arises at the time an assessment is made.

    See 26 USC 6322
    Exhibit 160l
  1. ii.  Admit that the evidence underlying the entries on the Certificate of Assessments and Payments is relevant to the issue of whether an assessment was made.

    See Beall v US, Civil Action 89 C 6500 (N.D. Ill. Eastern Div.), which relies upon Psaty v US, 442 F2d. 1154 (3rd. Cir. 1971), and US v Hart, 89-1 USTC para. 9255 (C D Ill, 1989)
    Exhibit 160m

Note: On appeal the government failed to provide any underlying evidence in support of its tax assessments and the case was remanded back to the district court for the government to prove its tax assessments.

    Exhibit 020

    See 26 U.S.C. §§ 6012(a) and 6020(b)  
    Exhibit 020, 161

  4. Admit that when an individual required to make a return under Section 6012(a) of the Internal Revenue Code fails to make the required return, and the Internal Revenue Service issues a notice of deficiency, the amount of tax claimed as due by the Secretary is not based upon the taxable income, but is computed without regard to the requirements of Sections 62 and 63 of the Internal Revenue Code from which adjusted gross income and taxable income are computed from gross income. 

    See 26 U.S.C. §§ 62, 63, and 6012(a)
    Exhibit 162, 086, 020

    See 26 U.S.C. § 6020(b)
    Exhibit 161

  11. Admit that nowhere in the Internal Revenue Code has Congress indicated that the word “shall” as used in Section 6020(b) of the Internal Revenue Code has a different meaning than as used in Sections 6001, 60011 and/or 6012 of the Internal Revenue Code.
