A Hoyt Victim's Advice

The following is advice from a victim of Kevin Brown's Hoyt Fiasco. Kevin Brown is the rogue IRS agent who can't explain where the $103 million "disappeared to" but who abused his position and his authority to silence the innocent victims of the Fiasco. He was so over the top with this that his lead prosecutor quit in disgust.

My experience with the IRS, as mismanaged by Kevin Brown (who has subsequently left to do damage elsewhere), taught me some lessons.

  1. Never trust the IRS. If they provide you something in writing, there's no guarantee they will honor that later. In regard to the Hoyt Fiasco victims, they went back on their written guarantees and promises many times. They'll tell you that there's no problem with your personal return, while licking the flap on the envelope that contains instructions for severe actions against you.

    The GAO found that IRS employees stole 4300 computers from their own offices in a single year. Further, the GAO looked at the personal income taxes of IRS employees who work in Collections and characterized the level of tax cheating as "staggering." Do not trust the IRS. Ever.
     

  2. Don't give them a tax-based reason to unleash their vast resources on you; stay current with your 1040 taxes. That doesn't mean just mail in your returns; with that, they can claim you aren't current and you have no proof. Always enclose a check for a dollar (so when they deposit it, you have proof they opened something you sent) and always send via a method that requires proof they received it.
     

  3. Do not expect the IRS to follow the Tax Code. Most of the people reviewing your case aren't even familiar with the Tax Code. If you quote them chapter and verse, they will ignore that. Do not expect them to follow logic, either. They are like the Borg; they get their programming and keep on coming.
     

  4. Do not talk to the IRS about any alleged tax debt. You may get some seemingly friendly person on the phone. That person's sole purpose in talking with you is to milk you for information that can be used to hurt you. Don't think they can't trick you, they can and they will. Refuse to talk with them except through an attorney. If the IRS person starts threatening you for not talking, hang up on that person.
     

  5. Keep notes. Note the date, subject, and key facts of any communication with these people. They will make things up in court, but if you have notes you can at least stop from losing a "he said / she said" contest.
     

  6. Don't respond to their mailings. I followed the bad advice of "experts" and responded to every fishing trip the IRS went on. The IRS can't legally demand from you information they already have. So there's no need to send them a tax filing you've already sent. If they demand you fill out a 433A, understand that they will use it to hurt you. It cannot possibly help you to fill it out. Let them do what they think they have to do, but without your additional self-destructive assistance. If you really do feel so intimidated that you "need to" respond, have an attorney do that for you. It makes a huge difference and is worth the cost. But don't use Mark Rosenbloom (a Chicago attorney).
     

  7. Don't bother contacting your misrepresentatives in the House or the Senate. If they actually represented voters, there would not be an IRS. Its actual tax function administration could easily be done by a single federal employee working part-time (simply have the states collect all taxes, just as they collect taxes now, and 50 states--rather than millions of individuals--deal with the federal govt ). The large IRS machinery serves quite another purpose, and it's not one we should be proud of.

Yes, good journalism is alive and well. Now, the question we ask is this: Is good government alive and well? Only if our government makes the IRS back off their persecution of the Hoyt victims. Write to the people below and demand it!
