I’m not a tax attorney, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Because they’re the IRS and you’re pipsqueak prole...that’s how...now get back to work, slave...
Sue them for breach of contract.
They’re playing the used car salesman game of “Oh shoot, he settled, I could have got more”
Actually, the rules are equal, YOU could also protest the Settlement even after the Agreement. The IRS gives you multiple options for any of the Lein/Levy processes, Pre and Post “agreements”, and then the IRS promptly takes those same “instant replay” rules and can apply it for themselves.
Your mistake was assuming you lived in a free country. They own you.
It is well known that whatever one IRS office giveth, another may taketh away. Stunningly simple technique.
New Agent. New Office. New Case. Same Taxpayer. Same ISSUE. I believe in golf they call it "Taking a Mulligan." Except in this case, you, I, or another taxpayer is the ball.
The IRS has managed to position themselves 180 to the constitution with their “you are guilty until you can prove yourself innocent” approach and for the most part we are all guilty of caving in.
The IRS is banking on the opinion that unlike the ruling class most of us are afraid of our government instead of what it should be and that every politician, every bureaucrat should be afraid of the citizens.
What would have happened if the founders had not challenged the King?
I have even gone so far as to call, write, report any traffic violations by people in government cars of any type. These are OUR SERVANTS and they are supposed to respond to our will.
Someone posted they have all the guns. Well actually we probably have more in numbers although few of us have tanks, nukes, F15s... but the government might even wake up some liberals if they used these on their own citizens.
Yep, and Uncle Sugar is adding another 60,000 agents to their roles.
How very nice.
