We received some good news today and I wanted to share it here with my freeper friends. We were audited back in 1995 for the yr.1993, a little later we were informed that we owed the IRS $3,000 dollars, they had all their little papers made out that looked all nice and legal and had us scared to death.
We did our best to fight them on this but the working class are almost always screwed from the beginning, so we went to our banker and borrowed the money to get their threats to stop. We felt a little better just knowing we owed them nothing but could still never figure out why we owed them in the first place.
I don't think it was 4-5mos. later we received notice we had been audited again for the yr. 1994, same thing, same ammount, $3,000 dollars, same old threats. To this day we can't figure out where they are coming from, we always pay our taxes, it is deducted from mine and my husband checks and we have never deliberately not paid.
We went back to our banker with this story, he told us that we were not the only ones this was happening to, he was seeing many customers with the same complaint. After he said this I told my husband we were not going to pay this time, it was extortion, blackmail or whatever you want to call it. These people, I decided were going to have to take me to court and "prove" we owed them a dime.
After looking for that needle in a haystack called and ex-IRS agent we could use as an attorney we finally found one. We turned over total power of attorney for just a few hundred dollars. We turned the tables and sued the IRS and won!
We not only soaked them for $9,300.00, we also sued for our money back and got an additional $4,700 ($3,000 plus interest.)
Bottom Line: FreeRepublic will be getting a cashiers check in the mail the moment we receive it.
Would any one here have any IRS horror storys or and "I kicked their butts" happy endings?

Thank you Nevada!
My thoughts exactly!!!!
Philanthropists don't have jobs, they have money.
I was one once. I think I was 12. {;~)
Whether it's done with the States' list or individual FReepers, it would require BADJOE to work even harder (I doubt that JohnRob would grant someone like me access to the inner workings of FR, and if he offered it to me, I wouldn't accept it). Now, if he would hardwire the applet into FR through a class (say .fr_scroll), it might work.

Y'ALL COUGH UP THE CASH, or I will ping you on every CHEESE THREAD, IGNORE THREAD, TEST THREAD, ALL YOUR BASES THREAD, TOURIST GUY THREAD, HOBBIT HOLE THREAD, CHANDRA LEVY THREAD, and MOOSE THREAD, that is posted in FR.
If that does not work, everyone will get a FReepmail with pictures of Janet Reno, Madeline Albright and Hillary Clinton. Don't y'all make me do it.
NO MERCY TILL THIS FREEPATHON IS OVER.
