WHILE LATE-FILERS STRUGGLE WITH TAX FORMS
READERS OF NEW BOOK REALIZE THEY OWE $0

COMMERCE TWP, MI. Scores of readers of a new book entitled Cracking the Code: The Fascinating Truth About Taxation in America have come to realize that the federal income tax does not apply to them. They have requested – and received – full refunds of all the money withheld from their pay-- including Social Security “contributions”. The total of just those of which Cracking the Code author, Pete Hendrickson, has been sent copies for posting on his website, www.losthorizons.com, is well over $370,000.00, and is growing rapidly.

“The reason most people are confused about their legal obligations,” says Hendrickson, ”is that they use the everyday meaning of such terms as ‘income, wages, employer, employee,’ and others. In fact,” he adds, “these terms have narrow, legal meanings within the tax law.”

How narrow? Hendrickson says they only apply to certain privileged activities, such as holding or administering a government office, or working in one.

“Although the tax statutes make perfectly clear that, for instance, language describing the obligations of ‘employees’ – and the taxes to which ‘employees’ are subject – only apply to a small minority of American workers, the distinction is artfully concealed in the Internal Revenue Code representation of the law,” he says. “An elaborate system has been created which causes many people to whom the tax laws do not otherwise apply to naively declare themselves to be among the persons to whom those laws do apply, and to tax themselves accordingly.”

The IRS is, of course, perfectly happy to take them at their word. And to take their money.

The government’s response to all of this – aside from providing full refunds when confronted – has been an attempt by the IRS to suppress publication of the book as “promoting an abusive tax shelter.”

“I’m not helping, or even advising, anyone to ‘shelter’ anything,” responds Hendrickson. “Nor am I claiming, like others have, that the income tax is unconstitutional. It isn’t. The only thing I’m promoting is a book that tells the truth about the tax code.”

The US Justice Department apparently agrees. It has informed the IRS three times now that it would not proceed with any legal actions against Hendrickson.

Victory After Victory, Verification After Verification; It's Time To Step On The Gas

'Cracking the Code-...' warrior Ralph Richardson has received a complete refund-- Social Security 'contributions' and all-- of everything withheld from him and given to the federal government in taxes during 2004. The evidence of Ralph's success in helping to restore liberty and limited government in America can be seen at www.losthorizons.com/tax/MoreVictories4.htm.

*****
CtC warrior Gary Utter also shares a victory with us today-- a complete federal refund for 2002. There's a story associated with this one, though:

Gary had had earnings from two different companies in 2002-- one of which considered Gary to be staff, withheld from him, and created a W-2 about its payments to him; and the other of which viewed Gary as a contractor and issued a 1099 about him. He had originally filed a return for that year of the 'conventional' sort. However, even as a 'conventional' filing, this one had a complication. During 2002, Gary had not made any "self-employment" tax payments in connection with his 'contractor' earnings. Concerned about not having done so, he filed a 'Form SS-8 Determination of Worker Status for Purposes of Federal Employment Taxes and Income Tax Withholding', and received notification that he could consider himself to have been an "employee" of that company for tax purposes. Gary completed his original 1040 accordingly, using the tax tables to calculate a 'conventional "tax due" based on earnings from both companies and subtracting from that figure only what had been listed by the title "Federal income tax withheld" on the W-2 he had received from the one company which had engaged in withholding.

Then Gary read 'Cracking the Code-...' and learned the truth.

Two months ago, Gary filed an amended return for 2002, reflecting his new understanding of the law. Included was a declaration rescinding his signature on the 'Form SS-8' mentioned above, which Gary now realizes to have been both improper and unnecessary. His amended return-- filed with a rebuttal to the allegations made on the 1099 he had received from the one company; and with a Form 4852 correcting the erroneous "wage" information on the W-2 he had received from the other-- claimed a refund of EVERYTHING actually withheld as "income" tax from Gary during that year, which, as he now knows, includes what is nominally withheld as 'Social Security tax' and 'Medicare' tax.

The government's response? Conformity with the law, and a complete refund to Gary. The evidence of Gary's victory for the rule of law, and the related do***ents, can be seen at www.losthorizons.com/tax/MoreVictories4.htm.

In the roughly two weeks since the program was initiated, many 'Cracking the Code-...' warriors have signed up for state groups. Groups are now active in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah Virginia, Washington and Wyoming. Warriors in Arkansas, Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York and France are waiting for some company.

Please consider joining or forming your state's group, if you haven't already. It costs nothing; there aren't any chores-- it's an entirely self-directed thing.

Of course, I can't promise that you'll get anything more out of joining than you pay to do so... But I felt pretty affirmed about this concept early last week when a member of the California Warriors happily announced, "California has given me a complete refund of my 2002 taxes paid plus interest!" I reflected on how uplifting that announcement must have been for the others in the group, and how good and proper it is for this upstanding American hero to have neighbors and friends with whom he could share this news who could understand its significance in the same way that he can.

The discussion titled 'A Special Note For Non-Filers' has been updated. Although most of you will imagine that something so titled will be of no interest, I encourage everyone to read (or re-read) this piece. It offers a nice little in-a-nutshell presentation of the practical aspects of the tax structure that is easily absorbed and easily retained. This is a particularly good article to send around to friends and acquaintances who are aware that the reality of the "income" tax structure is not as presented by the beneficiaries of misunderstanding, but have not yet learned the truth.

*****
The goal of correcting the decades-old "income" tax misunderstanding under which so many Americans have suffered so much outrage and harm-- and by, and for the sake of which, so much corruption of principle and so much lawless expansion of government power has been facilitated-- is finally within reach. But my single, small voice cannot do it alone. Please help. Please forward this and future emails; please pick the emails of your choice for distribution from those posted for that purpose at www.losthorizons.com/tax/Emailers.htm, and please print and post the press release at www.losthorizons.com/tax/PressRelease.htm. Post it (mail it) to your local newspaper, TV station, radio station, etc.; post it to your favorite blog and newsgroup; post it to your favorite pundit; and post copies on every public bulletin board you can find. Your grocery store, library, school and workplace probably offers a place to hang such an item among all the announcements for free kittens, handyman services for hire, and upcoming art fairs.

Leave copies on restaurant tables, in taxicabs, and hotel rooms-- you can't give a better tip! Use your imagination, and help spread the word. All that is necessary to re-tighten the chains of the Constitution is widespread awareness of the truth, and all that is necessary to achieve that widespread awareness is awakening enough Americans to the idea that there is a falsehood at work.

Progress does not require that you banish the darkness-- only that you shed a little light. At this point, five or ten of every hundred people merely made conscious of the idea that there is something to look into will undertake their own education. That's sufficient, if enough are given the chance to make that choice. This email is going to thousands across America and, in fact, around the world. If each of you makes even a small effort to raise the consciousness of at least a few others, many more-- all those fives and tens-- will soon add their efforts to yours. Next it will not be five or ten out of a hundred who awaken, but fifteen or twenty, because all will have been stirred a bit in their slumbers by the growing activity around them. And so on, and so on....
