It is rare, indeed, when one catches the IRS with it's "pants down," but that is precisely what this letter sent to me by the IRS reveals.

Understand that they first tried to dodge this issue by sending me the letter stating that there were the 3 "bogus" reasons why they were not going to proceed to prosecute this Income Tax fraud by the tobacco companies.

When that didn't work because we "unexpectedly" challenged them on those ridiculous "excuses," now they are claiming that we filed an "outdated" Form 211.

The problem with that attempted little "trick" is that the IRS KNEW we filed the Form 211 they instructed us to, never informed us as to exactly "when" it had become outdated, and then never gave us the opportunity to "re"-file with the "updated" version until we challenged them on the attempt on their part to ignore the Income Tax fraud based upon the 3 bogus reasons.

...Amazing stuff...Absolutely unbelievable unless you are looking at the proof as it exists right here...Right-wing Conspiracy?

I don't think so....

Final Regulation section 7623-1 has been issued. This regulation provides the authority for the Internal Revenue Service to pay rewards to informants.

Due to these law changes, the Form 211, Application for Reward for Original Information, has also been revised to provide an agreement by the informant to repay a reward, or an appropriate percentage thereof, if the collections on which the reward was based are subsequently reduced. In order to further process your claim for reward, we need you to complete the enclosed revised Form 211, and return it to us. Please be certain to sign the form once it has been completed.

Failure to comply with this request will forfeit any further processing of your claim for reward. Please return one copy of the form within two weeks, and keep one copy for your records. The return address is listed above.

If your original submission of Form 211 did not contain a narrative of the allegations you are making against the taxpayer, please include this narrative with your response. Also include any records you would like us to consider. It would also be helpful if you include a copy of this letter.

We appreciate your cooperation in complying with the new regulation, and thank you for your support in the enforcement of our tax laws.

Sincerely,

D. Savage Informant Claims Examiner
