A
War Tax Resister and the IRS
United States v. Ed Hedemann
The
1999 Dept. of Justice/IRS Court Case
The
Mar. 5, 1999 Brooklyn Anti-Militarism Walk & Court Hearing
The
Collection Process — Details of the late-1990s IRS Efforts
(based on IRS files obtained through the Freedom of Information
Act)
History
of IRS Court Actions and Seizures Against War Tax Resisters
NEW
IRS EFFORT: In Sept. 2007 the
IRS assigned an ATAT (“Abusive
Tax Avoidance Transaction”) agent to try to collect from
Ed. ATAT agents seem to specialize in what the IRS calls “tax
protesters,” people promoting scams or pushing schemes
to avoid taxes. They seem unable (or unwilling) to make a distinction
between principled refusal to pay for war and those seeking
to avoid taxes or make claims that taxation is illegal. This case was closed June 2008.
STATUS
OF 1999 CASE: The U.S. Dept. of Justice closed the case July 2, 2001. |
