How to Catch the IRS for Messing Up by Means of Postal Records

If you bought my IRS Lien Thumper and IRS Terminator packages you would have been able to use the Freedom of Information Act requests (FOIA) to request postal records respecting the Certified mailings of Notices of Lien mandatory by 26 USC § 6320 and Final Notices of Intent to Levy required by 26 USC § 6330. Those requests are for a Postal record, that the Internal Revenue Manual says is supposed to be signed by a Postal worker, and is required to be maintained in its hard copy form by the the Service for ten years. When the IRS  neglects to adhere to administrative process they are required to release, or more technically, withdraw their liens or return levied funds. The IRS Lien Thumper and IRS Terminator packages discuss this strategy in more detail. You can acquire both of those packages together at a significant discount.

If you can show that the IRS  has not followed every one of their administrative steps it can be conducive to winning a Collection Due Process Hearing that can suspend collection activities and stave off the implementation of an IRS levy against a bank account in a financial instution or paycheck, as is discussed in the no cost videos at www.irsterminator.com.

Individuals who have requested Postal record FOIAs from the Internal Revenue Service have gotten two different responses at this point: 1) The Disclosure Officer has neglected to provide the record; 2) They have provided a record that looks like it has been made-up. When they provide a record that appears to have been fabricated is when a FOIA to the Postal Service becomes essential to verify the veracity of the record.

The Postal Service desires that FOIAs be sent to the custodian of the records. The custodian is the head of the postal facility where the information is kept. In most instances, it will be a postmaster. To me this means that my customers will have to determine where the IRS placed the Certified mail in the mail and their FOIA request will be going to the postmaster at that facility. A search at the US Postal Service’s website to ascertain the address of the facility should prove fruitful. The Freedom of Information Act itself specifies that the envelope containing your request declare that it is a “Freedom of Information Act Request” on the exterior.

Save on Taxes Whenever Possible

When you invest in anything, you will be required to pay taxes in one form or another. If you invest in real estate, then you pay property taxes. If you invest in stocks, then you pay capital gains taxes. In the United States, The Internal Revenue Service or the IRS collects taxes and enforces the internal revenue laws. The IRS is an agency within the U.S. Department of the Treasury and is responsible for interpretation and application of Federal tax law. If you fail to pay taxes, then the IRS will not hesitate to collect from you everything that you owe them as well as IRS tax penalties and interests. Most people want to pay as little taxes as they can get away with which is the reason why tax planning is such as popular service. There are many free tax tips that you can learn how to keep as much of your hard earned money in your pocket as possible.

Property tax is an ad valorem tax that an owner must pay on the value of the property being taxed. Property tax can be defined as “generally, tax imposed by municipalities upon owners of property within their jurisdiction based on the value of such property.” The taxing authority requires an appraisal of the monetary value of the property, and tax is assessed in proportion to that value. Forms of property tax used vary between countries and jurisdictions.

Now that property prices have fallen significantly, the government is providing lots of incentives to attract people to buy homes or invest in properties. They hope that new home buyers will help raise home prices and save the real estate market. The new home buying tax credit, for example, gives a new home buyer a maximum of $7,500 tax credit or $8,000 for homes purchased in 2009. This great tax credit is for either a single taxpayer or a married couple filing a joint return, but only half of that amount for married persons filing separate returns. The full credit is available for homes costing $75,000 or more or $80,000 if purchased after Dec. 31, 2008, and before Dec. 1, 2009. The first-time homebuyer credit is a new tax credit included in the recently enacted Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008.
