Jim, Four years running we pay, see the check cleared but then the IRS does not discover the payment until we go to court...

update

I believe the people responsible are 2 IRS agents who happen to have been the married couple we bought this house from. They are radical Christians who donate time and money to pro life groups. They are also best friends of the fundamentalists across the street who share the pro life agenda and were responsible for several heinous and despicable acts against my children. It seems that my unwillingness to be recruited in their campaign resulted in labeling me as the enemy. My only comment in response to their recruitment was that it was a matter for women to decide and that my input one way or another was irrelevant. Yeah it was a wishy washy response but obviously not sufficient to keep me off the enemy list. I guess I did mention secular humanist and atheist which turns out to have been more than unwise.

The IRS couple most likely involved in deleting our payments year after year, are under investigation. The husband retired several years ago so it seems the wife is the one most culpable for our problem unless she has confederates in the agency who do this sort of thing ad infinitum.

This tax season will be the trap to prove that internal IRS problems do exist and that the bank is innocent. The bank finding an intrusion of our account was mere coincidence.


Think of it. The IRS may have religious zealots who knowingly commit fraud as retribution against "unbelievers". It has been alleged for years that being on a political enemy list could trigger audits.

My wife refused for so many years to take seriously "a deliberate attack" but four years in a row has convinced her. Sadly she became emotionally paralyzed about the issue and suffers from approach avoidance to such a degree that she has allowed the process to get perilously close to losing the house to public auction and now has received notification of garnished wages. The amount of money was relatively small , about $6K, but then it gets doubled the following year and additional penalties are applied.

I have been on the sidelines since I do not have much discipline for numbers and forms and have confused state and federal difficulties over the years.

It is one of those cases in which everyone feels they are right. The righteous feel they are right, the victims feel they are right, the IRS feels they are right, the court rules in a fashion that appears right... yet the wrongs continue without remedy. This brings to mind the case where a government worker named Monica would not hire people during the Bush administration who were not Republican or who were not pro life. I recall she went to Regent University.

So I have a better understanding of the suspects/confederates and will soon know which link in the chain is breaking. All the while the saga continues with its own paper trail and a record that can impune some kind of guilt despite the fact we have done no wrong doing.
