When I returned to work, I called around 4:03 and asked to speak with Janey
Tabor but she was not available so I left a message for her to call me back.
The following day ,10-26-99 I received a message at work that a Janey Tabor
from the IRS wants me to call her at 513-263-3260.
At 11:13 I returned her call but was told that she was not available so I
left a message for Janey Tabor to call me.
Around 2:10 that afternoon Janey Tabor called me back at work. The first
thing I asked her was why she was getting involved when the Senate Finance
Committee’s lead investigator had taken over and was investigating what
happened and why. She told me that the matter was also turned over to her.
I told her that I had read the letter she had sent to me, and that if that
was the position the Taxpayer Advocates office was taking, we had nothing to
talk about. As far as I could tell, her position was no different from the IRS’s,
so how could she possibly argue my case with the IRS if she and the IRS agreed?
She then asked me what issues I didn’t agree with. I told her the first
issue was why the IRS did this to me in the first place. I explained to her
that as far as I was concerned, their actions were nothing less than a
political favor. The IRS accused me, tried me and executed against me for 15
years without ever giving me the opportunity to a fair hearing.
I told her that I had fought this issue with the IRS for 15 years and never
got anywhere, but after sending a letter to the Senate Finance Committee about
the abusive treatment I had received in my dealings with the IRS, they turned
the matter over to Agnus Lucas and after talking to her over the phone she
decides that the IRS was wrong and that they had no reason to do this to me in
the first place.
Janey replied that the IRS decision was overturned because of my oral
testimony to Agnus Lucas. I quickly explained to Janey that I hadn’t said
anything to Agnes Lucas that I hadn’t told everyone from the IRS, so don’t tell
me that was it. Now come on, if people could just call someone over the phone
and have the IRS decisions overturned, hell no one would owe the IRS. We would
all be tax free.
I asked her if she found it strange that the IRS had either lost or
destroyed all my tax records up to the time I started working for Charlie’s
Dodge? Before she could even answer me, I answered the question for her. The
IRS destroyed my records so no one could ever see them, and they did n’t do
that by accident. The IRS didn’t want me taking their records to court because
those records would prove that I was right about the IRS and why they did this
to me. I continued to explain that those same records would also prove the
amount of money the IRS extorted from me and the amount of money they should
pay me, with penalties and interest. Most of all though, the IRS didn’t want
those records to get any one of them in trouble, otherwise the IRS would have
them to prove that they were right.
I then explained to her, in no uncertain terms, that the IRS was going to
compensate me for the hell they put me through if they liked it or not. Janey
then stated that there was no provision in the tax law to compensate me for my
losses. Now isn’t that convenient. Who in the hell made that rule, the IRS? She
then asked me why I didn’t just sue the IRS. I explained to her that the IRS
made sure that I would not have the means for 15 years to be able to afford the
caliber of Attorney it would take to fight the IRS.
She then asked me to briefly explain what had transpired in the beginning so
I gave her a 10 minute version of what took place and why. I explained to her
that as far as I was concerned the IRS was just playing games, they had no
intention of getting this matter settled. Otherwise, they wouldn’t keep handing
me off to different people all the time. I described, as briefly as possible,
all the different people from the IRS that I had spoken to over the phone. I
also clarified what transpired in the meeting that I had with Doug Cline, Mary
Coleman and Johnny Powell in Toledo. I detailed how I was repeatedly lied to by
Doug Cline. I also disclosed that Johnny Powell had lied to me when he told me
that the IRS could not find Lenna Kirby, so the IRS had no way of verifying the
missing payments. I told her that I was tired of being lied to and getting
nothing but the run around from the IRS. They either want to settle this
fairly, or they don’t. Just let me know which way they want to go and I’ll deal
with it.
Janey said that she wanted to look into this a little further and would call
me back by next Wednesday.
The following day, 10-27-99, around 3:04 Janey Tabor called me while I was
in a meeting at a clients home. I just happened to have Jeff Winke, the sales
manager with me at this meeting, so I explained to both of them who was on the
phone, excused myself and took the call outside in his driveway.
Janey begins the conversation by telling me again that regardless of if the
IRS is right or wrong there was no law saying that the IRS had to compensate me
for the damage they did to my family, businesses and life. I replied that I
didn’t give a damn if there was or not.
I told Janey that after going through the hell they put me through, I didn’t
trust any branch of the Government or the Legal System, especially the IRS, and
that’s why I wrote the book. I again, in more detail described how the IRS not
only destroyed Iiams Painting & Drywall Repair but they found it necessary
to also destroy ShuffleBowl Corporation. Then they made sure that I couldn’t
get my hands on enough money to fight back. For 15 long years, the IRS made
sure that I wouldn’t have the resources, especially with $ 76,046.76 in Federal
Liens on my credit record. I couldn’t own a home or have any other assets
because the IRS would just take them at will, like they did my bank accounts,
pay checks and the money they forced me to pay them on their payment plan. The
IRS made damn sure that I could not afford to fight back.
I then explained to her that it wasn’t enough for the IRS to trash my
businesses , the bastards then decided to go after my wife’s income and tax
returns just to insure that life would be miserable enough for both of us that
we’d end up in divorce court. Then, if that’s not enough, I’m turned over to
another branch of the government that dictates to me when I can see Lauren, how
much I’m going to pay for her, and once again I have no say in anything. Oh by
the way, if I don’t do what they say, I go to jail. What the hell kind of
government is this?
I told Janey that she can’t imagine how angry I was about the fact that I
would be visiting Lauren for the rest of my life instead of living with her and
there was no way in hell that I was going to allow the Government, the Legal System
and IRS to do this to me and just walk away. No way, monkeys will fly before
that happens.
Once again, I don’t think Janey knew what to say because I wasn’t accepting
the answers she was giving me. So she closed the conversation by saying she wanted
to look into the matter a little more.
This conversation lasted about 15 minutes.
