Well, I haven't written in for a while. But I thought I'd write to let you all know how my little situation is going with the IRS, and the State in which I reside. I read a post I made a while back regarding becoming a non taxpayer in which some ^&*hole made a comment about me straddling the fence regarding being a non taxpayer. Well, I for one don't really care too much about what happens with my standing on this board after this post. To the jerk who says I'm straddling the fence, he isn't in my situation either, and doesn't know all the issues regarding my tax matter. My employment is not an average job, nor is it one that tolerates pursuing being a nontaxpayer. If the IRS says "take his money", they will, and if I don't like it, I'll be pulled out of service, my nice cushy $80K a year job (10 yr career) will be gone and that's that! Career down the toilet. I pursued being a nontaxpayer for 2 1/2 years, and in that time, I did all I could to find somebody out there in this whole tax honesty movement that would support me regardless of what happened. In retrospect, most all of them only wanted my money, and that's what they got for their services which landed me in a world of hurt.

Since trying to set the record straight with the IRS and the State, my life has gone straight down the toilet. I'm stressed beyond anything I have ever been stressed to before in my life, and it's not getting any better. I recieved another letter from the state today, they want more money for 2002. In addition to the $300 a month payments to them till march of next year, and I still have yet to hear from my attorney on how the IRS is gonna rape me. So far, the IRS doesn't care about my house payment, car payments, or anything, cause to them there is a "national standard" that people around my parts are allowed to live on. I spend more than that, so, even though I have a $1,300 a month house payment, not to mention the bills, credit card payments, or car payments, the IRS says I'm allowed only $965 a month. So, I'm left with (TO THEM) being able to pay out around $800 a month based on my wages. And this is only for the next 5 YEARS! This is forgoing all the damn credit card debt I have in trying to pay off those who I had hoped would defend me if the IRS came knocking, or the attorneys, and state tax payments. So, I'm trying to settle with the credit card companies for my credit card debt. My house has a lien for $40K put on it from the IRS, my credit which 8 months ago was around 720 is completely ruined, and I'm unable to file bankruptcy since the damn laws have changed. And on top of all this, MBNA's attorneys call to tell me they are NOT going to settle my debt, and are going to place yet another lein on my house, and garnish my wages if I don't pay up.

Ya all know what? I'm so seethingly angery at the entire tax honesty movement at this point, I can't hardly type. My hands are literally shaking trying to type all this out. It's really nice for a select few to be able to have the funds, and opportunity, be it they are self employed or whatever to fight the IRS. Most have jobs that have an actual HR department that they can go argue with, most don't work for a multi billion dollar corporation with limitless resources to fight a lowely income tax honesty guy. In the end, I must say to Chad Prater, thanks for taking my 9k, thanks for your support, and costing me my financial freedom. And thanks to those who introduced me to the income tax honesty movement, the same people who wouldn't ever touch having their income taxes not being withheld or not filing. Thanks to American Tax Relief of California for telling me to go ahead with a purchase of a new house while I was in the process of applying for an Offer in Compromise, especially since I don't qualify under the IRS's rules.

In the end, my life is a complete and total train wreck, in the worst way. But it's ok, I'll put on a happy face, and lube up, the IRS is gliding right in, along with a little sand on it too, gotta make it rough ya know. Each and every single payday is met with being in debt more. Waiting each day for that direct deposit from work, having $0.98 in the checking account with no means to deal with any form of emergency, literally starving, having to call in sick to work because I don't have the money to pay for gas to get to work. I haven't gone grocery shopping now for 3 months, basically live on ramon noodles and make it payday to payday. The phone calls are nice as well from all the creditors. Heck, I'm behind on bills now like I never thought I could be in my life, and there's no end in sight. At the moment it looks like the only solution is to... hell, I don't know, I really do not know. But I do know this, my pursuit of tax freedom is the prime cause of it all. It's even nicer being told by direct family members that the entire reason for this is the way I'm living, and I'm "being taken out to the wood shed" by God himself.

My anger towards those in the honesty movement doesn't even come close to how much sheer hatred I have for those in the IRS. It's nice that for 2 1/2 years I sent certified letters to them *&^holes, only to be told after all that time, "this what you owe, deal with it". Forget abating the interest and penalties, that's just not acceptable. I REALLY appreciate the fact that the IRS says NOTHING for each and every letter I write, and in the end doesn't have to give one single bit of accountability for any of it. It was all just a complete waste of time. ...................

*sigh*... I'm exhausted. I give up.

k now.. gonna click post and wait to hear from those ready to flame me.
