Up until recently I have received, opened and responded to every letter/notice from the IRS. I keep the original and send them a certified copy, return receipt requested.

I did this for years, always rebutting or refuting whatever their claim was in the letter. This worked for a USTC case as well. Got a letter saying I was a petitioner, respond to chief counsel something or other for Atlanta by this date, etc... Wrote a letter back and said I am not a petitioner as I did not petition you or the USTC for anything. COpied USTC on it and got an immediate dismissal letter from the robe with lack of jurisdiction stamped on it.

For the most recent certified letter I received, a card was left at my mailing address. I then went to the post office and refused delivery. I was not asked for ID of any kind and I never touched the letter. The clerk wrote REFUSED on it in black pen in all caps and entered something into the computer and put it in a basket. I was tempted to ask if I could write refused for cause in red ink like I usually do, but i did not...

I dont care what they do with it, but I guess I kinda wonder if i would be better off opening and responding to the letters as I have in the past, even if it is only to refute their claims and send it back... If they try to sue me again, I will just repeat the process above. Until I can get to my next step, I am somewhat stuck doing what I am doing..

Will keep my eyes open for the letter above..
