Small business owners forced to battle IRS over seized bank accounts

Andrew Clyde, a Navy veteran who served in Iraq, started his small firearms store in Athens, Ga., in the 1990s.

Over the years, he watched his business grow.

And then, on April 12, 2013, two IRS agents swooped in and seized nearly a million dollars from his company's bank account.

Clyde was on the wrong end of a murky federal program that allows agencies to seize assets they suspect could be tied to criminal activity -- even without actual criminal activity.

How do you fight the IRS?

How do you fight the IRS?

Get out of the country, renounce your US citizenship, give up all your US property, go to work for a non-profit in the poorest dirt-poor part of Africa, and stay off the grid. Even that's no guarantee.

In my experience, they'll keep lying to you up to and after the moment you beat their incompetent asses with their own printed instruction manuals.

And they'll drag out that moment for months and months, by their "Talk To The Hand" tactics.

Think 45 minutes average response time for a simple phone call.

In a recent statement, Koskinen defended current IRS practices. "The IRS pursue seizures only when there is probable cause that the money is subject to forfeiture -- and only after seizure affidavits have been reviewed by a federal prosecutor and authorized by a federal judge," he said

Never mind the fact that the said federal prosecutors, judges, and IRS agents are all in cahoots together.

[Olog-hai]

What a liar Koskinen is.

I’m guessing that a disproportionate number of conservatives have been targeted here as well?
