With all the targeting i was curious if our beloved FREEPS has ever been targeted. the site is certainly prominent enough.
Eric Bolling from Fox said IRS agents came to his house. That...that must stop.
Several have had visits from the Secret Service after posts during the Clinton years.
Sad thing is, this month we have heard of other retirees getting the same letter and paying it. And then receiving another letter the following year- saying pay up again.
Just imagine, 401K early withdrawal penalty is 10%. 10% of their retirement...
I got caught cheating them out of $90.00. It cost me over $300 to get them off my back.
Or how many have had difficulties with the EPA, or been harassed by the TSA or rebuked by the Social Security Administration? This is a systemic tactic in 0bama’s Banana Republic America so you can bet it’s not limited to the IRS.
Two audits in a twelve month period. The first determined that I had overpaid by several grand, the second found deductions which were disallowed and netted a balance due the IRS nearly identical to the amount I had “overpaid”. Go figure...
To be fair, the IRS has always been good to me. No reason for problems. We are just two-bit players here at FR. LOL
bttt
I have only received one letter from the IRS....it said I owed $700.00.....I didn’t even check to see if I did....I just paid it. People like us can’t hire a lawyer just on principle and certainly cannot afford to get the IRS down on us!!!!!!
Right here
They owe me a lousy $80 . . . I e-filed through Turbo Tax in February, and haven’t seen a dime . . . nor have I received anything from the IRS that anything’s up . . . I also am on the Right-to-Life roster and Tea Party roster . . . So, I’m wondering if I’m scheduled for a lousy audit.
To a pure Maoist sociopath like Osama Obama I'm convinced that there's no such thing as a "two-bit player".
The part that I think was harassment from the IRS was the following. The penalty letters all arrived on a Friday. The date on each letter however was post dated 4-5 days into the future. On a date that happened to be my birthday. If they were doing it to tweak me or rub my face in it, they picked the wrong guy. Could careless about my birthday. Never even celebrate it. So I turned the tables on them and got all the penalties removed.
The small biz I am associated with got repeated letters demanding payment of something like $700. We hadn’t made any money that year....but, it freaked out my partners...I just sent them letters back saying “ZERO times 20% Equals...ZERO.” They finally quit bugging us.
Yes, my husband and I have been. It was the early 1990s and we were very proactive in the pro-life movement in our area. We were getting under the skin of a notorious abortionist by opening a women’s counseling facility next door to him and tried to persuade women to come to us instead of going to him. We had the police called on us for made-up infractions, was vandalized on numerous occasions, and we eventually had to install a video security camera outside of our building. The abortionist had big political connections so nothing ever happened to him. Well, about a year after we were up and running, we suddenly found ourselves being audited by the IRS. They harassed us so much, and even had an agent come to our house on Christmas Eve, and told my husband that the IRS is a big agency and can squash us like a bug. They seized wages, put a lien on our home, and just made our lives miserable. It took many years, but finally they got off our backs.
Oh, don't underestimate that. A FReeper sometime way back bad the secret service show up at his door because of something he said on FR. There is nothing personally identifying about us on FR, and this guy lived in a fairly remote location. We're being watched.
They told us(wife and I) we owned them money a couple years back and we paid it no questions asked.
They questioned our charitable contributions in 2009. I provided additional information and they dropped it. I have to say that the agent I worked with was kind and sympathetic. Definitely not on a power trip...I appreciated that.
An old Lewinsky Timeline that I was running on Tripod back during the Clintoon Administration was getting hits from within the Executive Office of the President.
