Instructions for this section of the website.

The information in this section can be very useful to you. Follow the instructions—it is a lot easier than you think.

  1. Everything is designed for easy, quick use by a pro se litigant. We have more than 30 years of assisting the self-represented in tax and court cases. Everything on this website has been tested and proven effective unless noted otherwise.
  2. The pleadings and letters are designed for you to personalize and use. The initial petition and some letters are designed for you to use by only changing your name at the top and the bottom, plus the dates.
  3. The initial papers are designed for you to conform them, quickly to your case and file to meet the deadlines.
  4. Do not change these types of pleadings at all, or without consulting Dr. Clarkson. The preformatted papers only need a minimum of changes.
  5. Do not worry: there is plenty of typing and other work for you to do later. The no-change-papers do not need much work, except to alter the participants and the dates.
  6. After the initial papers are filed, then the motions and most letters are to be used as a guide so that you can do your own work. Read several to get a feel for what you need to do in your case.

RE: Trudy Shell SSN 123-45-6789; John Shell SSN 789-12-3456

Tax Court Docket # 20188-05L. 2002 Tax year

Ms Hallman,

My husband and I came to your office as instructed at 10am on July 5, 2006. Since you picked an early date (due to your office remodeling) rather than going to the end of the month as the Tax Court allowed, we did not have much time to prepare. We received the notice to be there at that set time, just 5 days earlier.

We dispute the tax liability because we didn't have a chance to present our side in Tax Court. We have records of business expenses, deductions, telephone excise tax etc… As we told you many times, we didn't receive the Notice of Deficiency. We keep our letters from the IRS in good order and respond promptly when required. Had we received a 90 day letter, we would have petitioned the Tax Court as the law allows. We requested in our CDPH last year that you present proof that we received the 90 days letters. You have not done so.

On July 5, 2006, you presented to us an e-mail from the post office which did not say or prove that we received the 90 day letters. The Post Office e-mail stated the some type of correspondence was sent from the IRS to our hometown, and not our specific address, on Sept 17, 2004. (Label tracking ID 7105567871)

In the past the IRS has sent notices and letters to us at an incorrect address even though they have our correct address on file. The mail sent to the incorrect address is not always forwarded to us. Congress was concerned that your tax agency frequently sent important notices knowingly to incorrect addresses. Therefore the elected representatives of the people enacted the CDPH law in §6330(c)(2)(B). Your office has failed in its duty and we request this case be sent back to the Audit Division so we can receive a new 90 day letter and have our day in court.

Your agency and/or the Post Office must have filed somewhere, the Return Receipt (the green card) which shows who received the alleged certified letter and what date it was received. Neither agency has furnished that receipt to us; therefore you have not met your burden of proof. Please send us a copy of the Return Receipt. Somebody has it.

We request Audit Reconsideration so we can present our documents and records. Also we request collection alternatives CNC (Currently Not Collectible) status as we are poor and cannot pay the assessment.

The levy is not appropriate because:

  1. The tax liability is not settled.
  2. I request Spousal Relief.
  3. Due to hardship we are entitled to CNC status.
  4. We request other collection alternatives including OIC

If you had not accelerated the date of our CDPH, we would have been able to complete your forms. We request more time to complete the OIC form, the financial statement and tax returns for previous years. We do not appreciate the rough treatment we received when we met with you and the persecution of our witness(s).

Also we expect reimbursement of our large expenses of our Petition to Tax Court following your previous determination to deny us our in-person hearing. The law says (as the tax court pointed out) we are entitled to a hearing. Your denial of our hearing entitlement was harassment and a crude attempt to deny us our rights.

Yours,

Trudy Shell
